what does this mean M8x65 LG?

Question

On engineering drawings whats the LG mean?

Answer 1

It means a bolt size 8 mm diameter and 65 mm long (LG)

Answer 2

I have found most British people to be quite polite and rather fun. I am an American, the son of a Scotsman, and if there was ever a people to dislike the Brits, it should either be a Scot or an Irishman. Growing up, I spent at least one day per week playing soccer with foreigners, as it was not a well known game back then. The differences in our cultures explain much of how we perceive them as such, but when you get to know the people, you will find they are truly a fun loving bunch and make as much fun of themselves as the do others. It is almost a British comical cultural thing. They make fun of each others' favorite teams, much as we do, but their style of humor comes across a little "off" by our standards. So, just try to realize our cultural differences are what makes us see them as the "high and mighty, self-righteous assholes", (that and the fact that we beat them for our independence and many are still bitter about that.)

Answer 3

A bolt that measures 8mm width and 65mm long its used to bolt mental object in concrete, i often them for securing industrial washing machine (normally half ton) into the floor off hospital or housing home

Answer 4

Though I am not related to engineering but to my understanding so far the size always relate to dia x length.. in screws , nipples etc.... so my vote goes to LG is for Length

Answer 5

It could mean anything.

Any decent engineer includes a legend with their drawings that explains any abbreviations on the drawings.

Either that or it is a part number or something, but it should be scheduled or spec'd somewhere.

Answer 6

i believe it is referring to a metric fastener (screw or bolt) that has a nominal (major) diameter of 8mm and is 65 mm long (LG is most likely an abbreviation for "long" or "length").
