En Iso 13920-bf [TRUSTED × Strategy]

EN ISO 13920-BF is a combined tolerance designation used in the fabrication of welded structures to specify acceptable deviations in dimensions and shape without detailing every single measurement on a technical drawing. Standard Breakdown EN ISO 13920

Unlike machining tolerances (which are very tight), welding tolerances account for the inherent variability of heat-based joining processes. The standard provides five distinct tolerance classes: A (fine), B (medium), C (coarse), D (very coarse), and E (extremely coarse). These classes allow designers to specify how much deviation is acceptable based on the function of the part.
