GB Standards in English

GB?

Hi Mike,

G B is for "Great Britain". You know, your origin. Mike is English w"ho" should know that, Gil.

NB: It doesn't help!

GB (GEE BEE), or do you mean G8 (Gee eight)?

GB stands for Guobiao (simplified Chinese: 国标; traditional Chinese: 國標; pinyin: Guóbiāo), Chinese for national standard.

Thats helpful- but I need some real detail if anyone knows of where to find it.

For those of you who havent seen the designations, for example GB93 is a standard split lock washer, GB91 is a split cotter pin, and on and on. I come across some strange ones (my company does some manufacturing in China) and I need to be able to track things down fast.

Hi Dolly,

If you have a company in China, you have someone in China who speaks Chinese, isn't it? From now on, you contact this person through Internet and ask her/him what you need. It will be satisfactory for your work, I guarrantee it. If you need more, the next time I go to China, I will let you know and provide some help, Gil.

In site 4shared, you can find a lot of free downloads, just write a word or name of the book you look for in the "Search In" box and click "Search". Try Hardware , Seals & Bearings.

Why not contact somebody at the Singapore Standards Institute (SISIR)? I would think they would be able to help.

Hi Dolly,

Chinese immigrants have some small computers for under $100 that translates every English word into Chinese just for understanding. You can do the same in the opposite direction. I already used and it's worked well. I hope you can solvage your translation with around $100 expenses? You don't need to buy, someone can rent you for less but you have to work harder and faster to get what you want, Gil.

Here GB is just a name of Chinese standard code which comes from Chinese name 'Guo Biao'
