Full title and description

ISO 5611-9:2015 — Cartridges, type A, for indexable inserts — Part 9: Style T. This part of ISO 5611 specifies requirements for type A cartridges with hole(s) for fastening screw(s) of style T (cutting-edge angle κr = 60° for side cutting) intended for use with indexable inserts made of hard metal, ceramic or other cutting materials, primarily for internal turning operations.

Abstract

ISO 5611-9:2015 applies to cartridges, type A, with hole(s) for fastening screws, of style T (κr = 60° for side cutting). It defines the form and dimensional characteristics necessary to ensure interchangeability and correct mounting of cartridges with indexable inserts for internal turning. The standard is concise and intended to harmonize component interfaces between toolmakers and users.

Scope

This part of ISO 5611 specifies the form, key dimensions and characteristics of type A cartridges of style T, which are intended to accept indexable inserts and to be mounted for internal turning. It covers the geometry relevant to side cutting (κr = 60°), fastening hole provisions for screws and the essential features to ensure mechanical compatibility with corresponding inserts and tool-holders. It does not cover detailed insert geometry (covered by insert standards) or tool-holder systems beyond the interface described.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of style T cartridges and designation (cutting edge angle κr = 60° for side cutting).
• Dimensional specifications and tolerances for mounting interfaces and fastening holes.
• Requirements to ensure interchangeability with indexable inserts of various cutting materials (carbide, ceramic, etc.).
• Identification and marking conventions for cartridge types (where applicable).
• Normative references to other parts of the ISO 5611 series for related cartridge styles and interfaces.

Typical use and users

This standard is used by tool designers and manufacturers (cartridge and tool-holder producers), machine-tool builders, cutting-tool distributors, and quality/engineering departments in manufacturing companies that perform internal turning operations. It supports procurement specifications, design checks for interchangeability, and standardization within production and tooling engineering.

Related standards

ISO 5611-9:2015 is one part of the ISO 5611 series addressing cartridges for indexable inserts. Other related parts include ISO 5611-1 through ISO 5611-12 (each covering different cartridge styles and forms). It supersedes or replaces earlier consolidated ISO 5611 editions (the 1995 series was withdrawn and replaced by the multi-part 2015 series). Users should consult other parts of ISO 5611 for alternative cartridge styles and the full series context.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 5611-9:2015 is an international standard that specifies form and dimensional requirements for type A cartridges for indexable inserts — specifically Part 9 which defines Style T cartridges (side cutting, κr = 60°).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the geometry, key dimensions and interface features (including fastening hole provisions) necessary to ensure interchangeability and correct mounting of Style T cartridges used with indexable inserts for internal turning. It does not specify insert cutting-edge geometry beyond the cartridge interface.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Tool and cartridge manufacturers, machine-tool designers, tooling engineers in manufacturing, purchasers specifying tooling, and standards/quality departments involved in cutting-tool selection and compatibility checks.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: As published on 18 November 2015, ISO 5611-9:2015 is listed as a published international standard. The ISO record indicates the 5611 series is subject to periodic review (typically every 5 years); there is no ISO record showing that Part 9 has been superseded as of the standard record. Users who need absolute assurance of status for procurement or regulatory purposes should check the ISO catalog or their national standards body for any amendments or newer editions at the time of purchase.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 5611 is a multi-part series covering cartridges, type A, for indexable inserts. ISO 5611-9:2015 is Part 9 (Style T); related parts cover other cartridge styles (for example Parts 1–12 cover different styles and configurations).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Cartridges, type A, indexable inserts, Style T, internal turning, side cutting, κr = 60°, interchangeability, ISO 5611.
