Metric Standards for Worldwide Manufacturing , 2007 Electronic Edition, by Knut O. Kverneland is available through the ANSI Electronic Standards Store. The 800 page/500 table book is a tool that could help cut manufacturing and engineering costs, and help industry to compete in the global market with metric designed and manufactured products. The motto the author promotes is "Sell American" rather than the "Buy American" which is frequently heard All sizes for fasteners, material, and components presented in the book conform to American standards in agreement with ISO. For example, six or less threaded fastener sizes may be selected to replace more than 61 sizes used in the old systems. The reduced number of sizes could result in thousands of dollars in savings. Contact Rosemary Maginniss at ANSI for quotes and use of the e-book on your Intranet.
