Numerical rounding rules and expression and judgment of limit values ​​GB/T 8170--2008
This standard specifies the rules for rounding off numerical values, the expression and delimitation of numerical limits, the relevant terms and their symbols, and the method for comparing measured values ​​or calculated values ​​with the limit values ​​specified in the standard. This standard applies to various numerical values ​​obtained by testing and calculation in scientific, technological and production activities. When the obtained numerical values ​​need to be rounded off, they should be rounded off according to the rules specified in this standard.
This standard applies to customer maintenance or other technical non-standard writing and the judgment of test results. 2 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this standard.
Rounding off for numerical values ​​The process of omitting the last few digits of the original value and adjusting the remaining last digits so that the final value is closest to the original value.
Note: The value after numerical rounding is called the rounded value (of the original value). 2.2
Rounding interval interval
The minimum numerical unit of the rounding value.
Note: The rounding value is the integer multiple of the rounding interval. Example 1: If the rounding interval is 0.1, the rounding value should be selected from the integer multiples of 0.1, which is equivalent to rounding the value to the decimal place. Example 2: If the rounding interval is 100, the rounding value should be selected from the integer multiples of 100, which is equivalent to rounding the value to the "hundred" place. 2.3
Limiting value limiting value wes
The limit of the numerical range of the indicator specified in the standard (or technical specification) and given in quantitative form and meeting the requirements of the standard (or technical specification).
3 Rules for rounding off values
3.1 Determine the rounding interval
a) Specify the rounding interval as 10-(n is a positive integer), or specify that the value is rounded to a decimal placeb) Specify the rounding interval as 1, or specify that the value is rounded to \ decimal places; ) Specify the rounding interval as 10\ (a positive integer), specify that the value is rounded to 10\ digits, or specify that the value is rounded to "tens", "stations", "trillions", etc.
3.2 Rounding rules
3.2.1 If the leftmost digit of the number to be discarded is less than 5, it is discarded and the remaining digits remain unchanged. Example: Round 12,1498 to the unit digit, and you get 12; round 12.1498 to one decimal place, and you get 12.1. 3.2.2 If the leftmost digit of the proposed extravagant number is 5, then add 1 to the last digit of the number to be retained. Example: Round 1268 to the hundredth digit, and you get 13×10° (which can be written as 1300 in certain cases). Note: In non-standard examples, "specific cases" refers to when the interval between roundings is clear. 3.2.3 If the leftmost digit of the proposed extravagant number is 5, and there is a non-zero digit after it, then add 1 to the last digit of the number to be retained. GB/T 8170-—2008
Example: Round 10.5002 to the nearest digit to get 11. 3.2.4 When the leftmost digit of the number to be discarded is 5 and there are no digits or all digits after it are 0, if the last digit to be retained is an odd number (1, 35, 7, 9), then add 1 to the last digit of the number to be retained; if the last digit to be retained is an even number (0, 2, 4, 6, 8), then discard it. 1: The rounding interval is 0.1 (or 10-)

Rounding value
2×10 (can be written as 2000 in certain situations)4×103 (can be written as 4000 in certain situations)3.2.5 When rounding off a negative number, first round off its absolute value according to the provisions of 3.2.1 to 3.2.4, and then add a negative sign 1 in front of the obtained value Example 1: Round the following numbers to the "tens\" digit: Proposed rounding value
—355
—325| |tt||Rounded value
—36×10 (can be written as—360 in certain occasions)—32×10 (written as—320 in certain occasions) Example 2: Round the following numbers to three decimal places, that is, the rounding interval is 10: Proposed rounding value
3.3 Continuous rounding is not allowed
Rounded value
-36×10-3 (can be written as—0.036 in certain occasions) 3.3.1 Proposed rounding number is rounded once after determining the rounding interval or specifying the rounding digit, and it is not allowed to be rounded repeatedly according to the rule of 3.2.
Example 1: Rounding to 97.46, the rounding interval is 1. Correct approach: 97.16·-97;
Correct approach: 97.46→97.5 ×98. Example 2: Rounding off 15.4546, the rounding interval is 1. The correct way is: 15.4546-→15;
is not correct: 15.4546→15.455→15.46-→15.516. 3.3.2 In the specific implementation, sometimes the test and calculation department first reports the obtained value according to the specified rounding digit, and then other departments make judgments. In order to avoid the error of continuous rounding, the following steps should be followed: 3.3.2.1 When the rightmost non-zero number of the reported value is 5, a "+" or "-" or no symbol should be added to the upper right corner of the value, indicating that rounding has been performed, not included or not included.
Example: 16.50+ means the actual value is greater than 16.50 and is rounded off to 16.50; 16.50- means the actual value is less than 16.50 and is rounded off to 16.50.
3.3.2.2 If the reported value needs to be rounded off, when the leftmost digit of the number to be rounded off is 5 and there are no digits or all 0s after it, the value with a “yu” in the upper corner is rounded off, and the value with a “一” is rounded off, and the others are still rounded off according to 3.2. Example 1: Round the following numbers to the nearest decimal place (the reported value is rounded to one more decimal place). Measured value

3. 40. 5 unit rounding and 0.2 unit rounding When rounding a value, if necessary, 0.5 unit rounding or 0.2 unit rounding can also be used. 3.4.10.5 unit rounding (half unit rounding) 0.5 unit rounding means rounding the value to be rounded to 0.5 units according to the specified rounding interval. CB/T 8170—2008
0.5 unit rounding method is as follows: multiply the proposed rounding value X by 2, round 2X according to the specified rounding interval in accordance with the provisions of 3.2, and divide the resulting value (2X rounding value) by 2.
Example: Round the following numbers to the "unit" digit 0,5 unit rounding. Proposed rounding value X
3.4.20.2 unit rounding
2X rounding value
X rounding value
0.2 unit rounding means rounding the proposed rounding value to 0.2 units according to the specified rounding interval. The 0.2 unit rounding method is as follows: multiply the proposed rounding value X by 5, round 5X according to the specified rounding interval in accordance with the provisions of 3.2, and then divide the resulting value (5X rounding value) by 5.
Example: Round the following numbers to 0.2 units of the "hundred" digit Rounding value to be rounded X

4.1.1 The limit values ​​shall be specified for indicators or parameters given in quantitative form in the standard (or other technical specifications). The limit value indicates the boundary value of the numerical range that meets the requirements of the standard. It is expressed by giving the minimum limit value and (or) the maximum limit value, or giving the basic value and the limit deviation value. 4.1.2 The representation form and number of digits of the limit value in the standard should be appropriate, and all significant digits should be written. The degree of accuracy of the written digits should be able to ensure the performance and quality of the product or other standardized objects. 4.2 Terms for expressing limit values

4.2.2.1 Basic numerical value A with absolute upper limit deviation value ++b and absolute lower limit deviation value -b2, means that from A-ba to A---b1 meets the requirements, recorded as A2.
Note: When bb, A can be simply recorded as Aup.
Example: 80 mm: refers to the range from 79 mm to 82 mm that meets the requirements. 4.2.2.2 The basic value A has a relative upper deviation of 1.% and a relative lower deviation of -6.%, which means that the relative deviation of the measured value or its calculated value R to A (R-A)/AI from -% to +6% meets the requirements, recorded as A. Note: When 6-6, % can be recorded as A(1+%). Example: 5100(1+5%), refers to the relative deviation of the measured value or its calculated value R(2) to 5100 [(R-510)/510] from -5% to 15% meets the requirements,
4.2.2.3 For the basic value A, if the upper deviation of -b and (or) the lower deviation of -b2 make A+ and (or) A- not meet the requirements, brackets should be added and written as A (excluding A) or A (excluding) A (excluding b) Example 1: 80-(excluding 2) mm, refers to the range from 79 i to close to but less than 82 mm meets the requirements. Example 2: 510Q (1 ± 6%) (excluding 5%), refers to the measured value or its calculated value R (0) for 5100 from the deviation value [(R--510)/5101 from 5% to close to but less than 10% meets the requirements. 4.3 Method for comparing the measured value or its calculated value with the limit value specified in the standard 4.3.1 General
4.3.1.1 When judging whether the measured value or its calculated value meets the requirements of the standard, the measured value or its calculated value obtained by the test should be compared with the limit value specified in the standard. The comparison method can be: a) full value comparison method;
b) rounded value comparison method.
4.3.t.2 When there is no special provision for the limit value (including the value with the limit deviation value) in the standard or relevant documents, the full value comparison method should be used. If the rounded value comparison method is specified, it should be explained in the standard. 4.3.1.3 If the standard or relevant documents stipulate the use of one of the comparison methods, ...- once determined, shall not be changed. 4.3.2 Full value comparison method
The measured value or calculated value obtained by the test is not rounded off (or rounded off, but it should be marked as being obtained by including, adding or not adding or not rounding off GB/T 8170-2008
), and the value is compared with the specified limit value. As long as it exceeds the range specified by the limit value (regardless of the degree of excess), it is judged as not meeting the requirements. See Table 3.
4.3.3 Rounded value comparison method
4.3.3.1 The measured value or its calculated value is rounded off, and the rounded digits should be consistent with the specified limit value digits. When the test or calculation accuracy permits, the obtained value should first be reported with one or more digits greater than the specified rounding digit, and then rounded to the specified digit according to the procedure in 3.2:
4.3.3.2 Compare the rounded value with the specified limit value. As long as it exceeds the specified range of the limit value (regardless of the degree of excess), it will be judged as not meeting the requirements. See Table 3 for examples.
