Foreword
This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Engineering
Standards Policy Committee. It supersedes BS 4466:1989 which is withdrawn. The
standard has been revised to incorporate the shape codes in BS EN ISO 4066:2000.
Assessed capability. Users of this British Standard are advised to consider the
desirability of quality system assessment and registration against the appropriate
standard in the BS EN ISO 9000 series by an accredited third-party certification body
(see annex B).
A British Standard does not purport to include all necessary provisions of a contract.
Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.

No other shape code number, form of designation
or abbreviation shall be used in scheduling. With
the exception of rectangular links, 5 bends or more
are undesirable and may be impractical within
permitted tolerances but they shall be drawn out
in full and coded 99.
A dimensioned sketch shall be drawn over the
dimension columns A to E. Every dimension shall
be specified and the dimension that is to allow for
permissible deviations shall be indicated in
parenthesis, otherwise the fabricator is free to
choose which dimension shall allow for the
tolerance
For all shapes other than 12, 13, 33 and 67 the radius of bend shall be not less than the minimum specified
in Table 3.
The dimensions in parentheses are the free dimensions. If a shape given in this table is required but a
different dimension is to allow for the possible deviations, the shape shall be drawn out and given the
shape code 99 and the free dimension shall be indicated in parentheses.
The length of straight between two bends shall be at least 4d, see Figure 6.
NOTE 1 The length equations for shapes 15, 25, 26, and 46 are approximate and where the bend angle is greater than 458 the length
should be calculated more accurately allowing for the difference between the specified overall dimensions and the true length
measured along the central axis of the bar or wire. When the bending angles approach 908, it is preferable to specify shape
code 99 with a fully dimensioned sketch.
NOTE 2 For shapes with straight and semicircular lengths (e.g. shape codes 13 and 33) the largest practical radius for the production
of a continuous curve is 200 mm, and for larger radii the curve may be produced by a series of straight sections.
