MEA Measurements

To specify physical measurements, including dimensions, tolerances, weights and counts.

Position: MEA-01 · Element: 737 · Name: Measurement Reference ID Code · Type: Identifier (ID) · Requirement: Mandatory · Min: 2 · Max: 2 · Repeat: -

Code specifying the application of physical measurement cited.

At least least one of MEA03 or MEA05 must be present.

Position: MEA-02 · Element: 738 · Name: Measurement Qualifier · Type: Identifier (ID) · Requirement: Mandatory · Min: 1 · Max: 3 · Repeat: -

Code identifying the type of measurement.

At least one of MEA03 or MEA06 must be present.

Position: MEA-03 · Element: 739 · Name: Measurement Value · Type: Decimal number (R) · Requirement: Conditional · Min: 1 · Max: 10 · Repeat: -

The value of the measured dimension.

If MEA03 is present, then MEA05 or MEA06 is required.

Position: MEA-04 · Element: 355 · Name: Unit of Measurement Code · Type: Identifier (ID) · Requirement: Mandatory · Min: 2 · Max: 2 · Repeat: -

Code identifying the basic unit measurement.

Position: MEA-05 · Element: 740 · Name: Range Minimum · Type: Decimal number (R) · Requirement: Conditional · Min: 1 · Max: 10 · Repeat: -

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.

Position: MEA-06 · Element: 741 · Name: Range Maximum · Type: Decimal number (R) · Requirement: Conditional · Min: 1 · Max: 10 · Repeat: -

The value specifying the maximum of the measurement range.
