Overview
This document contains terms and definitions relevant to springs in order to facilitate the discussion among designers, manufacturers and users of springs. The terms identified in this standard are primarily used for technical documentation of springs. Heat-treatment and surface-treatment terms pertinent to springs are included. Terms for non-metallic springs are not included in this standard. Certain terms and definitions from ISO 4885 are reproduced in this standard. Terms for materials are not contained in this document to avoid duplication and/or conflict with other International Standards on materials.
