Specification summary of T 78 as applied to engineered component: the dimensions the standard controls, the tolerance and product grades it defines, the full specified size range, and the equivalent DIN/ISO/ASME designations.
T 78 — Scope
T 78 specifies the dimensions and tolerances of engineered component — gb/t 78 / iso 4027 (series 025). Material, property class, surface finish and packaging are governed by separate documents in the same standards family (for example ISO 898-1 for the mechanical property classes of bolts and screws).
Tolerance & Product Grades
T 78, alongside the related GB/T 78 / ISO 4027 entries on this site, specifies product grades (typically A or B for fine work and C for general engineering) and tolerance classes for the controlling dimensions. Choose the grade against the precision your application requires.
Dimensions Specified by 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 |
Equivalent Standards
Where direct equivalents exist (ISO ↔ DIN, ISO ↔ ASME), they are listed on the parent Engineered Component — GB/T 78 / ISO 4027 (Series 025) page. Always confirm against the dimensions on this page, since some "equivalent" standards differ in tolerances and head geometry.
Companion Standards
T 78 controls only the geometry of engineered component — gb/t 78 / iso 4027 (series 025). The mechanical strength is set by ISO 898-1 (bolts and screws) or ISO 898-2 (nuts); the surface finish is governed by separate finish standards (e.g. ISO 4042 for electroplating). For corrosion testing, the relevant document is ISO 9227 (neutral salt spray).
