CODES OF PRACTICE

Index

The Codes of Practice cover the specification and measurement of gears and are designed to improve day-to-day working practices. They embody the best features of well established practical procedures and encourage the adoption of better working practices.

The Codes should also help to standardise the terminology used, methods of presentation of gear data and measurement results and should reduce misunderstandings between customer and supplier - leading to the production of better gears.

The Codes of Practice were produced by the Design Unit, University of Newcastle upon Tyne in collaboration with the organisations named below. The initial work was sponsored by the DTI as part of a research project entitled 'Improving the Accuracy of Gear Measurement in Industry'.
