Arbeidsstykkets

Arbeidsstykkets is a genitive form in Norwegian that relates to the term arbeidsstykket, meaning the workpiece in manufacturing and engineering. The form indicates possession or a characteristic that belongs to or concerns the workpiece. In technical writing, arbeidsstykkets is used to link a property, measurement, or feature to the specific workpiece being discussed.

In practice, you will encounter phrases such as arbeidsstykkets geometri (the geometry of the workpiece), arbeidsstykkets toleranser (the workpiece tolerances), or arbeidsstykkets materiale (the workpiece material). The possessive is common in drawings, process plans, inspection notes, and quality records, where precise reference to the workpiece is essential for tooling, fixturing, and measurement. The form must agree with the noun it modifies, and for plural references the corresponding possessive would be arbeidsstykkenes.

Understanding arbeidsstykkets is primarily a matter of Norwegian technical language usage. It does not denote a separate concept from the workpiece itself; rather, it is the grammatical way to attribute a characteristic, requirement, or attribute to a specific workpiece. The term is frequently encountered in industries such as machining, metalworking, and manufacturing engineering, where clear specification of a single workpiece’s properties drives design decisions, quality control, and process planning.

Related concepts include arbeidsstykket (the workpiece), toleranser (tolerances), fixturing, and metrologi (metrology). Knowledge of possessive forms like arbeidsstykkets helps ensure precise, unambiguous communication in Norwegian technical documentation.
