This International Standard, relating to wire, bar and tube drawing dies, lays down the main dimensions for a certain number of tool types, and specifies the codified designation of dies and the marking. Details not indicated are left to the discretion of the manufacturers or should be specified in national standards. NOTE — It may be supplemented later by the standardization of several special profiles. This International Standard includes, in annex A, a comparison of bearing and bore dimensions for various types of drawing dies, and, in annex B, a terminology, in several languages, for characteristic elements of pellets and cases. Dimensions of hard metal rough pellets intended to be used in dies of application groups A to F are laid down in ISO 2804.
