1 Scope and field of application
This standard specifies general tolerances and machining allowances for rough castings of spheroidal
graphite cast iron which are subject to the technical delivery conditions laid down in DIN 1693-1
Users of this standard should note that it now only applies to castings used for repair and replacement
Purposes. New designs are covered by ISO 8062 : 1994,
‘Owing to the lack of empirical data, general tolerances have not been specified here for angular dimensions.
If angles are to meet accuracy requirements, these shall be indicated as individual tolerances.
2 Normative references
This standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the titles of the publications are
listed below. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications
apply to this standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references, the
latest edition of the publication referred to applies.

3 Concepts
See DIN 7182-1 and DIN 1680-1 for the terms ‘general tolerances’ and ‘tolerance grade’, and DIN 1680-1
{ot a definition of ‘machining allowance’.
4 Tolerance grades
4.1 Dimensional deviations
For castings of spheroidal graphite cast iron, dimensional deviations are largely dependent on
) the dimensional accuracy of the pattern, the degree of shrinkage dependent on the material type and
casting configuration, the care taken during moulding and casting, and the moulding and casting equip-
ment used based on the batch size;
b) the nominal sizes
4.2. Application of tolerance grades
Limit deviations shall be specified on the basis of the tolerance grades given in tables 1 and 2. Linear
dimensions and thickness shall be specified for the same grade; for exceptions see DIN 1680-1

4.3. Nominal size ranges
‘The nominal size ranges shown in the tables for each tolerance grade have been selected on the basis of reliable
measurement data. For sizes outside the range for a given grade, the next coarsest grade applies.
5 Machining allowances
‘The machining allowance, BZ, is a function of the largest external dimension of the casting and is the same for
all tolerance grades (cf. table 3); see DIN 1680-1 for exceptions.
For sizes up to 500 mm, machining allowances may be reduced to approximately half the values specified in
table 3 if the pattern equipment, casting procedure and machining procedure with regard to clamping surfaces
and datum surfaces have been optimized, for example, for series production, as agreed between the customer
and the foundry. These reduced values are shown in table 4.
For castings with a mass greater than 1 000 kg or a wall thickness greater than 50 mm, the machining allow-
ances shall be agreed between the manufacturer and client.
6 Designation
Where both the tolerance grade and the machining allowance have been selected on the basis of the present
standard, the designation of a grade GTE 17 tolerance (GTB 17) in conjunction with a machining allowance of
2,5 for bottom and side surfaces in the die and of 3 for top surfaces (BZ 2,5/3), for example, shall be designated
a8 follows:
Tolerance and machining allowance DIN 1685 ~ GTB 17 ~ BZ 2,5/3
See DIN 1680-1 for other examples of designations.

7 Indicating general tolerances on existing drawings
If an existing drawing does NOT refer to the tolerance groups specified in the 1962 edition of this standard
(which is no longer valid), then the tolerance grades given in tables 1 and 2 do not apply. It is recommended
that a grade suitable for the casting in question be indicated on such drawings.
If an existing drawing DOES refer to the previously valid tolerance groups, it is recommended that these be
converted to the tolerance grades specified in tables 1 and 2 of the present standard. If this is not possible,
the permissible limit deviations are to be taken from tables 5 and 6 below.
Tables 5 and 6 do NOT apply to new drawings.
