TS ISO 14617-13

TS ISO 14617-13 defines graphical symbols used in diagrams for casting machines and machine tools. It addresses the symbolic language used to represent material-processing equipment in technical drawings, helping engineers present the same type of machine in a clear and consistent way across different diagrams.

How material-processing equipment is shown in diagrams

Casting machines and machine tools belong to two important families of manufacturing equipment. Casting machines are associated with shaping molten material in a mold, while machine tools are used for operations such as cutting, drilling, milling, turning, and related machining processes. The subject of this standard is the diagram symbol set for those machines; the symbols identify the equipment function on the drawing rather than representing its physical size or construction in detail.

Position within the ISO 14617 family

The document also points users to ISO 81714-1 for the fundamental rules on creating and applying graphical symbols in diagrams, and to ISO 14617-1 for an overview of the ISO 14617 series, including registration numbers, presentation rules, and examples of use. In other words, TS ISO 14617-13 is not a general drafting-code document on its own; it is a focused part of a broader symbol vocabulary. Within that series, this part concentrates on diagrammatic representation for material-processing devices.

Standards of this kind support clearer process flow diagrams, plant documentation, machine schematics, and technical communication by making equipment easier to recognize and distinguish consistently. The withdrawn status means the recorded TSE edition is no longer active, but the document remains useful as a technical reference for understanding the scope and terminology of the symbol system.
