There is an Engineering and Architectural standard given for the selection of proper sheet sizes or templates for the drawings to be readable, and visibility along the proper view arrangements of the Drawings to the Fabricators and Erectors. The basic principles involved in arriving at these sizes are as below. 1) x : y = 1 : √ 2 2) xy = 1 Where x and y are the sides of having the surface as 1 m ^2. So the x = 0.841 m y=1.189 m Bureau of Indian Standards (B.I.S.) are given the below sizes of trimmed sheets as selected from ISO-A Series as per SP 46:2003. Designation Dimensions in mm A0 841 X 1189 A1 594 X 841
