DINWerte
DINWerte refers to numerical values defined within standards published by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN). They function as reference quantities that aid design, production and testing by providing standardized measures, tolerances, material properties or performance criteria. DINWerte are typically embedded in DIN norms and are often harmonized with European (DIN EN) or international (ISO, IEC) standards, ensuring consistency across industries and markets. Examples include dimensions and tolerances for components, mechanical properties such as strength or hardness, or permissible ranges for temperature, pressure and other operating conditions. In practice, engineers use DINWerte when creating technical drawings, suppliers specify them in procurement documents, and inspectors verify compliance during quality control.
The process for establishing a DINWert usually starts with a need identified in an application. A DIN
Limitations include dependence on standardization cycles, regional applicability, and the possibility of multiple standards defining different
