GB/T 78 is the standard cited for engineered component. This page sets out what the standard controls for this part, reproduces the dimensional table supplied against it, and notes the related designations referenced on drawings.
GB/T 78 — Scope
GB/T 78 specifies the dimensional requirements for engineered component — gb/t 78 / iso 4027 (series 025). Material, surface condition and any performance rating are set by separate documents specific to this part family — ISO 898-1 and ISO 898-2, which govern bolt and nut property classes, do not apply here.
Tolerance & Product Grades
Tolerances for engineered component — gb/t 78 / iso 4027 (series 025) are given as limits on the individual dimensions in the table rather than as a fastener product grade. Where a general-tolerance class is cited on the drawing instead, it applies to the dimensions not otherwise toleranced.
Dimensions Specified by GB/T 78
| Size designation | Outer diameter / width (mm) | Length / height (mm) | Bore / thread (mm) | Material | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Size 1 | 10 | 20 | 6 | C45 carbon steel | GB/T 1804-m |
| Size 2 | 12 | 25 | 8 | C45 carbon steel | GB/T 1804-m |
| Size 3 | 16 | 32 | 10 | C45 carbon steel | GB/T 1804-m |
| Size 4 | 20 | 40 | 12 | C45 carbon steel | GB/T 1804-m |
| Size 5 | 25 | 50 | 16 | C45 carbon steel | GB/T 1804-m |
| Size 6 | 32 | 63 | 20 | C45 carbon steel | GB/T 1804-m |
| Size 7 | 40 | 80 | 25 | C45 carbon steel | GB/T 1804-m |
| Size 8 | 50 | 100 | 30 | C45 carbon steel | GB/T 1804-m |
Companion Standards
GB/T 78 controls only the geometry of engineered component — gb/t 78 / iso 4027 (series 025). Surface finish is governed by separate finish standards (for example ISO 4042 for electroplating), and corrosion testing by ISO 9227 (neutral salt spray). Mechanical performance is set by the standards specific to this part family, not by ISO 898-1 or ISO 898-2, which apply to bolts, screws and nuts.
When to Specify GB/T 78
Choose GB/T 78 for international engineering work and OEM supply where ISO standards are the contractual reference. It is the default modern specification for engineered component — gb/t 78 / iso 4027 (series 025).
