ISO(the International Organization for Standardization)is a worldwideof preparing international Standards isnormally carried out through ISotechnical mittees.Each member body interested ina subject forrepresented on that.mittee.Intermationalorganizations.govern- mental and non-governmental in liaison withISO also take part in thework.ISOcollaborates closelywith the InternationalElectrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical mittees arecirculated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Inter- nationalStandard requires approval by at least 75%of the memberbodies casting a vote.

4.1.1 Meter size and overall dimensions
Meter size is characterized either by the thread sizeof the end connections or by the nominal size of theflange.For each meter size there is a corresponding fixed set of overall dimensions (see figure 1). Thedimensions are given in tables 1 and 2.
For threaded end connections two minimum di- mensions a and b are specified (see 4.1.4).
