9、r the direction of the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Standards Policy Committee. This standard is intended for use by manufacturers of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and software writers within the CMM industry. It covers the assessment of geometric form of workpieces measured with a CMM.
10、It gives information and guidance to promote the better use of CMMs for this purpose by the adoption of reliable software that provides well presented comprehensive information. This British Standard contains mathematical concepts and notation; therefore it is assumed that the execution of its guida
11、nce is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced personnel. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer imm
12、unity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages1 to 17 and a back cover.

It contains recommendations for determining the position, size and depa
14、rture from nominal form of geometric features, given measurements of coordinates of points on a workpiece. The features covered correspond to the following geometric elements:lines, planes, circles, spheres, cylinders and cones. This standard is concerned with software implementations of algorithms
15、based on sound mathematical and computational principles, rather than automated versions of manual or graphical assessment procedures. This standard does not provide detailed guidance on methods for treating data gathered in an unstable environment. This standard does not cover secondary attributes,
16、 i.e. measures derived from departures from form of the above geometric elements, such as parallelism, concentricity or orthogonality. This standard primarily relates to CMMs that operate with a right-handed Cartesian coordinate system. It also relates to other measurement systems that provide such
17、coordinates. Some of the guidance provided also applies to other coordinate systems. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard the following definitions apply. 2.1 algorithm a step-by-step description in mathematical or other unambiguous terms of a process for solving a particular prob

20、m is defined as the spread, or in terms of the spread. 2.7 deviation the straight-line (Euclidean) distance of a data point from the reference, measured normal to the geometric element. The distance is regarded as positive or negative according to which side of the element the point lies. Where appr
21、opriate it is negative if the point lies in the material of the workpiece, and positive otherwise. In the case of a line in two dimensions or a plane all points on one side are taken to have a positive deviation and those on the other a negative deviation.

34、essment of geometric form in any particular case, the corresponding geometric element should first be represented, i.e.parametrized, in a mathematically sound way. Recommended parametrizations are given in clause5. It is recommended that the assessment process itself be carried out in four stages: a
35、) apply an appropriate measurement procedure, i.e. a strategy for obtaining a representative set of measurements on the workpiece (see clause 6); b) (optionally) pre-process the data, i.e. replace the measured data by modified values in order, for example, to smooth the data, to remove inappropriate
36、 points or to compensate for environmental effects (see clause 7); c) compute the reference (e.g. an approximating circle in terms of its centre coordinates and radius), to give position and size (see clause 8); d) assess, in terms of the reference, the departure from nominal form (see clause 9). On
37、ce the assessment has been carried out, it is recommended that the software provides the information detailed in clause 10. To avoid unnecessary numerical inaccuracies during the assessment, software writers should adopt the recommendations given in clause 11. G Point on L or P closest to the centro

46、other of the parametrizations given in clause 5. These formulae should be useful to the software writer in preparing algorithms for assessing departure from nominal form when using the recommended parametrizations. 5 Parametrization of geometric elements 5.1 General This clause is concerned with the
47、 manner in which the position and, where relevant, orientation and size of each geometric element considered in this standard should be described in mathematical terms. For a reliable assessment to be carried out the workpiece should be adequately represented by a set of measured data points in a Ca
48、rtesian coordinate system (see 6.2). The geometric element that is to act as a reference for the data is described in terms of this system. The description consists of assigning numerical values to parameters that define the geometric element. It is possible to parametrize each of the geometric elem
49、ents in more than one way. The parametrizations given here are recommended as being generally applicable. They have the property that small changes in the geometric element usually result in correspondingly small changes in the parameter values. Certain other parametrizations may be equally sound, although it should be noted that the use of some parametrizations can yield unreliable results. Example. It is possible to parametrize a cone in terms of position of the vertex, direction of the axis and the angle that the cone generator makes with the
