Scope:

This editorial manual describes the SI system of units to be used in AGMA standards. Where necessary, specialized metric dimensions, tolerances and units are used which are specifically suited to the gear industry and may not be part of the referenced documents.

Historical Background. The 11th Conference Generale des Poids et Mesures (1960) (CGPM), by its Resolution 12, adopted the name International System of Units, with the international abbreviation SI, for this practical system of units of measurement and laid down rules for the prefixes, the derived and dimensionless derived units and other matters, thus establishing a comprehensive specification for units of measurement. The expressions SI Units, SI Prefixes and Dimensionless Derived Units as used in this Information Sheet, are in accordance with the metric practices in ANSI/IEEE Std. 268-1982.
