DEFINITIONS

3.1 Abbreviations. An abbreviation is a shortened form or abridgment

of a word, expression or phase used to conserve space and time.
4.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

4.1 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 comnon use and are to be used frequently
in a document or where thewis 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 othewise 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 forms of a term.
4.4 Capitalization. Abbreviations included in the left-hand column
provide the form for use on drawings and documents produced in uppercase characters. The abbreviations in the right-hand column provide the
form required for documents produced in lower-case characters; however,
these abbreviations may be capitalized when required for emphasis.
Abbreviations that are capitalized in the right-hand column are a continuation 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.
If space limitations make it necessary to abbreviate such terms, the abbreviation which appears In the left-hand column shall be used except for the
sllbstitutionof lower-case letters.

4.5 Punctuation.
4.5.1 Punctuation marks which do not appear in this standard shall not
be used with the abbreviation of a techn~cal term; however,
an abbreviation spelling
a whole word should include a period if the abbreviation
is not obvious to its intended reader. An exception
is made for abbreviations
used in computer applications wherein a hyphen (-) may be substituted for a blank space which appears in an abbreviation, eg. seqchk in lieu of seq chk.

4.5.2 Hyphens should be used

symbols, eg, a 35-nunfilm.

with

adjectival forms

of abbreviations and

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 than form. For example,
the current is 5 amps and the pressure is 3 psi are allowable uses of
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=
Mathematical operations re performed only upon symbols; for example,
!l Symbols that appear in the following docuI =5Aandp=31bf/in.
ments are preferred (for example, the current is 5 A) in lieu of abbreviations that appear in this standard and shall be used in lieu of abbreviations
for terms that do not appear herein:

Tabl~& of Chemical Elements)

Unit Symbols:

Metric Practices:

ASTM E380

4.8 Abbreviati~ns used in existinq technical documents: Unless,o~he~ise

specified, any changes or revis~ons to an existing drawing, speclflcatlon,
standard, or technical document prepared under a previous edition of this
standard, may use the latest abbreviations, although the superseded
abbreviations may appear elsewhere in the documnt.
