Code specifying the application of physical measurement cited.
If MEA07 is used MEA03 is required.
Code identifying the type of measurement.
Either MEA08 or MEA03 may be used, but not both.
The value of the measurement.
Either MEA03 or MEA05 or MEA06 or MEA08 is required.
Code identifying the basic unit measurement.
If either MEA03, MEA05 or MEA06 is used, MEA04 is required.
The value specifying the minimum of the measurement range.
When citing dimensional tolerances, any measurement requiring a sign (+ or -), or any measurement where a positive (+) value cannot be assumed use MEA05 as the negative (-) value and MEA06 as the positive (+) value.
The value specifying the maximum of the measurement range.
Code used to benchmark, qualify or further define a measurement value.
Code used to express an attribute response when a numeric measurement value cannot be determined.
Code indicating the product surface, layer or position that is being described.
