In its 13th edition, this book (in German only) has been greatly popular for many years. It contains 32 documents from the field of measuring devices and measurement procedures in length measuring technology, some of which are new and others which have been updated.

The global market for additive manufacturing in 2024 is estimated to be worth almost 30 billion US dollars - an enormous sum that underlines the importance of this relatively new technology. This success is also ensured by the wide range of applications, from the automotive industry to aerospace, construction, healthcare and private applications.

Steel components are essential for the construction industry; the safety of structures such as bridges, halls and high-rise buildings depends on their quality. DIN EN 1090-1 specifies requirements for the conformity assessment of structural steel components.

With rapidly advancing globalization, standards are a means of communicating reliable specifications. This also applies to welding, where DIN Standards and DVS Merkblätter perform important functions.

Screws and bolts can be found in a wide variety of areas and are available in a wide range of qualities — as some of the simplest fasteners, screws and bolts are extremely versatile. The standardization landscape for screws and bolts is correspondingly extensive.

Technical drawings are the basis of many engineering, architectural, documentation and production activities, and their uniformity is important for maximizing compatibility and comprehensibility. Standards are the way to achieve standardization. This book contains the most important basic standards in the field of technical drawing, handily combined in one volume.

The series 2 of the two-volume DIN Taschenbuch “Technisches Zeichnen” contains the relevant standards for basic principles and mechanical drawing. It offers technical draughtspeople as well as students and trainees a valuable working aid that provides the collected knowledge in a compact format.
