ABBREVIATIONS FOR USE ON DRAWINGS, AND IN SPECIFICATIONS, STANDARDS AND TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS
1. SCOPE 1.1 Scope. The tenns and abbreviations in this standard are limited to those co111110nly used on drawings, and in specifications, standards, and technical documents. 1.2 Aepl1cation. This standard provides a list of abbreviations authorized for use on drawings, and in specifications, standards, and other technical documents. 1.2.1 Short words. Abbreviations of words having five or fewer letters are not included except those established by longstanding practice. 1.2.2 Field of use. Where an abbreviation is intended primarily for a particular field of application, that field is indicated in parentheses following the term, eg, fast operate (relay). 1.2.3 Combining form. Where two abbreviations are listed for the same word, the first applies to the word used alone, while the one designated (comb fonn) is to be used only in combination with abbreviations of other words to fonn an abbreviation for a word combination. ...__ 2. REFERENCED DOCUMENTS 2.1 General. The issue of the following documents in effect on the date of inv1tat1on for bids fonn a part of this standard to the extent specified herein.· 2.2 Standards ANSI Yl0.3-1968 QuantitieJ Used in Mechanics of Solids, Letter Symbols for ANSrYlO� s--i.968 Quantities Used in Electrical Science and Electrical Engineering, Letter Symbols for ANSI Yl0.20-1975 Mathematical Signs and Symbols for use in including Physical Sciences and.Technology ANSI Yl0.20a 1975 ANSI/IEEE STD 260-1978 Letter Symbols for SI Units, and Certain Other Units of Measurement ASTM £380-1979 ���nnA�d for Metric Practice MIL-STD•l2D 29 May 1981

DEFINITIONS
3.1 Abbreviations. An abbreviation is a shortened fonn or abridgment of a word, expression or phase used to conserve space and time. 4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 4. l Clarity. Abbreviations shall be used only when their meanings are unquestionably clear to the intended reader. WHEN IN DOUBT, SPELL IT OUT. Abbreviations that are not in conman use and are to be used frequently in a document or where thereis doubt that the reader will understand their meanings, should be clarified when first used: by spelling out the word or complete phrase, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. 4.2 Word combinations. Portions of an abbreviation for a word combination shall not be separated for use singly. Single abbreviations may be combined when necessary if there is no abbreviation listed for the combination. 4.3 Syntax. Unless otherwise indicated herein, the same abbreviation shall be used for all tenses, the possessive case, participle endings, the singular or plural, and the noun and modifying fonns of a tenn. 4.4 Capitalization. Abbreviations included in the left-hand column provide the fonn for use on drawings and documents produced in upper- case characters. The abbr�viations in the right-hand column provide the form required for documents produced in lower-case characters; howP.ver, these abbreviations may be capitalized when required for emphasis. Abbreviations that are capitalized in the right-hand column are a contin uation 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 right-hand column for many short words. ,�-•�����"� T�..... ��n�A .at'U"-.., ..,_.,,u,....,sa-nwA ir "•�oaa��v ._.._�•&.,,;;, 161�5"'._..,_••-�...,-....,.,... J rn �hhr�vi�t� �uch terms. the abbre- viation which appears in the left-hand column shall be used except for the s1Jbstitution of lover-case letters.
2 MIL-STD-12D 29 May 1981
4.5 Punctuation. 4.5.l Punctuation marks which do not aooear in this standard shall not be used with the abbreviation of a technical term; however, an abbrevia tion spelling a whole word should inc1ude a period if the abbreviation is not obvious to its intended reader. An exception is made for abbrevia tions used in computer applications wherein a hyphen(-) may be sub stituted for a blank space which appears in an abbreviation. eg. 'seq chk' in lieu of 'seq chk'. 4.5.2 Hyphens should be used with adjectival forms of abbreviations and symbols, eg, a 35-mm film. 4.6 Revised abbreviations. Abbreviations in this standard reflect recent changes in the state-of-the-art. 4.7 Symbols. The distinction between abbreviations and symbols is tricky, because it depends upon context, rather thanII form. For example, "the current is 5 amps" and pressure is 3 psi uses of "the 11 are allowable abbreviations, whereas writing "I= 5 amp and "p = 3 psi" are incorrect. Whenever a mathematical operation or sign is involved, such as the equality sign(=) or the division sign(/)� abbreviations cannot be used. a h t l e a e l s m � � ;� !�� po� ; f��/�n'� ����;i;e�h�� �P���; �:i�! }ofZ�wi�; ����- ments are preferred (for example, "the current is 5 A") in lieu of abbrevi ations that appear in this standard and shall be used in lieu of abbrev iations for terms that do not appear here in: · · a.

Unless otherwise specified, any changes or revisions to an existing dr�wing, �p�cificati?n, standard, or technical document prepared under a previous ed1t1on of this standard, may use the latest abbreviations, although the superseded abbreviations may appear elsewhere in the document. 5.
