ISO designation structure
What CNMG Means
Code-position meanings follow the cited ISO code-system reference.
CNMG Geometry Summary
The four-letter designation provides geometry and clamping information. The remaining code positions need a source-backed lookup for a specific size record.
Separate geometry from performance
Grade, chipbreaker, coating, and application context are separate from the basic CNMG geometry designation.
Common CNMG Sizes
| ANSI | ISO | Status |
|---|---|---|
| CNMG 432 | CNMG120408 | Verified |
Additional sizes, including CNMG 431 and CNMG 433, remain pending until their mappings and dimensions are verified.

FAQ
What is the verified CNMG mapping in V1?
CNMG 432 maps to ISO CNMG120408 in the verified local record.
Does CNMG identify the grade?
No. Grade and chipbreaker selection are separate from the basic geometry designation.
Are CNMG 431 and CNMG 433 available?
They are not presented as verified mappings in V1 until supporting technical sources are recorded.
