FOREWORD
Subcommittee 38, Abbreviations, was formed in May 1995, and is a Subcommittee of the ASME Standards Committee Y 14, Engineering Drawing and Related Documentation Practices. The Subcommittee is charged with the responsibility of compiling and maintaining a listing of abbreviations and acronyms for use on engineering drawings and related documents. ASME Y1.l-1989, has been revised and redesignated as ASME Y14.38. This Standard is based on ASME Y1.l and MIL-STD-12. Existing abbreviations and acronyms with slashes (0, dashes (-), spaces ( ), numbers (3). and symbols (%) have been revised. These abbreviations and acronyms have been deleted or amended to exclude previously existing slashes (0, dashes (-), spaces ( ), numbers (3), and symbols (%). The successful completion of this Standard is attributed to the subcommittee members, contributing guests, and the departments and agencies of the U.S.Government. Suggestions for the improvement of this Standard are welcome. They should be sent to The American Society of Mechanical Engineers; Attn.: Secretary, Y14 Main Committee, Three Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016-5990. This revision was approved as an American National Standard on March 23, 1999.

ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS
produced with lower case characters. Where upper case abbreviations are shown in the “Text” column, they are a continuation of prior usage and are generally for major systems or are recognized as having significant applications when used in text. Unit and quantity terms shown with an asterisk (*) have letter symbols established by American National Standard ANSI Y10.19, Letter Symbols for Units Used in Science and Technology. Bracketed modifiers may appear with certain terms indicating alternate technology-specific applications for that term.
1 SCOPE AND PURPOSE 1.1 Scope
The abbreviations and acronyms, hereinafter referred to as “abbreviations,” listed in this Standard are used on engineering drawings and related documentation. 1.2 Purpose The intent of this Standard is to allow the use of approved abbreviations in lieu of the use of complete words or terminology. Abbreviations defined by this Standard need not be additionally defined by the using drawing or related document. It is not the intent of this Standard to include abbreviations defined or established in other standards such as those for scientific terms and notations. However, an exception is made for those abbreviations that have widespread use and recognition, for example, AM for amplitude modulation, and FM for frequency modulation (radio).
2 WHERE AND HOW ABBREVIATIONS SHOULD BE USED 2.1 Where to Use Abbreviations Abbreviations are to be used only where necessary to save time and space. Even though this Standard establishes abbreviations for many terms, extreme care should be exercised in their use. Since they may have to be interpreted by people of varying backgrounds, abbreviations should be used only where their meaning is unquestionably clear to the intended reader. Where there is doubt that the reader will understand the meaning, spell out the word or complete phrase where first used, followed by the abbreviation or acronym in parentheses. When in doubt, spell it out.
1.3 Abbreviations and Letter Symbols Since abbreviations are conventional representations of words or names in a particular language, they may be different in different languages. A symbol, on the other hand, represents a quantity or a unit (not its name) and is therefore independent of language. Because of this, the use of letter symbols is preferred over abbreviations for unit or quantity terms. While letter symbols may be used wherever abbreviations were formerly used, abbreviations are never to be used whenever a mathematical operation sign is involved, such as the equality sign (=) or the division sign (4.
2.2 Duplicate Abbreviations 1.4 Abbreviation Lists Format
The same abbreviation is included in this Standard for several different terms due to established practice. Care should be exercised to assure that the proper meaning will be interpreted when using such abbreviations.
Abbreviations shown in the “Drawings” column provide the form for use on drawings and documents produced with upper case characters. Abbreviations in the “Text” column provide the form for documents 1

for average “avg” and temperature “temp” can be combined as “avg temp” for average temperature.
3 BASIC PRINCIPLES 3.1 Abbreviations for Acronyms Sections 5 and 6 include some acronyms for compound terms as well as abbreviations for the acronyms. Some examples are: ”radar” for “radio detection and ranging” and “rdr” for “radar;” “selsyn” for “selfsynchronous” and “sels” for “selsyn.”
3.7 Combining Forms
An abbreviation spelling a whole word should include a period if the abbreviation could be misinterpreted.
Where two abbreviations are listed for the same word such as “Cath” for “cathode” and “c” for “cathode,” as in “cathode ray tube, (comb form),” the first abbreviation applies to the word used alone. The abbreviation indicated “(comb form)” applies in combination with abbreviations of other words to form an abbreviation for a word combination such as CRT for Cathode Ray Tube.
3.3 Spacing
3.8 Colors
3.2 Punctuation
Spaces shall not be inserted within an abbreviation.
Two abbreviations are listed in sections 5 and 6 for color name. The three-letter abbreviation is preferred for notes on drawings and in text. The other abbreviation is used where a shorter designation for colors is needed.
3.4 Capitalization Abbreviations included in the “Drawings” column of section 5, provide the form for use on drawings and documents produced in upper case characters. The abbreviations in the ‘Text” column provide the form required for lower case characters. However, these abbreviations may be capitalized when required for emphasis. Abbreviations that are capitalized in the “Text” column are a continuation of prior usage and in general are abbreviations for major systems or are recognized as having significant application when used in text. Abbreviations are not listed in the column for many short words. If space limitations make it necessary to abbreviate such terms, the abbreviation that appears in the “Drawings” column shall be used except for substitution of lower case letters.
3.9 New Abbreviations The development of a new abbreviation will be considered for inclusion in this Standard based on the following minimum criteria: (a) A genuine need for the abbreviation has been demonstrated. (b) The abbreviation does not contain subscripts and superscripts. (c) The term to be abbreviated should be five or more letters. (d) The abbreviation does not duplicate abbreviations defined or established in other standards. (e) The abbreviation meets the intent of the scope of this Standard. (B The term to be abbreviated would have widespread application.
3.5 Syntactical Endings Unless otherwise indicated, the same abbreviations shall be used for all tenses, participle endings, the possessive case, the singular and plurai, and the noun and modifying forms of a term. Some examples are: “bm” for beam and beams; “calc’T for calculate, calculated, calculating, and calculation.
4 APPENDICES 4.1 Chemical Elements
3.6 Word Combinations
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry’s elements and their symbols appear in Appendix A. The symbols listed are not abbreviations, and are preferred to the abbreviations listed in sections 5 and 6 for scientific and technical work. However, these
An abbreviation of a word combination shall not be
separated for use individually; e.g., the abbreviation for stainless steel “sst” is not to be split to use “s” for stainless and “stl” for steel. Individual abbreviations may be combined when necessary if there is no abbreviation listed for the combination; e.g., the abbreviation
abbreviations may continue to be used in fields where their use has been established by long standing practice. 2
