Units: no mark = printed in mm and stated by the standard. † = printed with no unit; the inch value is our conversion, reading the figure as mm. Nominal Ø is our reading of the inch code (1/32 in for diameters, 1/16 in for grips). Drill: from the site drill chart, inside the hole range.

From a measured hole or stack to the code
Hole to diameter code. Measure the hole and take the code whose hole range holds it, never the nominal: 05 → 4.191–4.267 · 06 → 5.054–5.13 · 08 → 6.604–6.68 mm.
Stack to grip code. Measure the total thickness to be joined with a grip gauge and take the code whose range holds it, for that diameter: a 2.20 mm stack with diameter 08 → grip 100 (1.27–3.18 mm).
Grip code from inches. Code N (thousandths in) covers (N-75) to (N+25) thousandths of an inch, 0.100 in steps; first code 100 = 0.050-0.125 in. Inference from computed values; units not stated.
If a segment is missing
Without the standard number the codes cannot be read: grip code 04 is 4.78–6.35 mm on ASNA0077/0078, 5.56–7.16 mm on ASNA0026/0027, 5.59–7.14 mm on ASNA0081/0082.
No material letter: the number is incomplete; S is the only letter printed, and its meaning is not given by the standard.
No diameter or grip code: the number names the family only, not a part; a default size is not given by the standard.
No grip code: the number is incomplete; a default grip is not given by the standard.

Example
ASNA303S08100 — Material S, diameter code 08 (1/4 in nominal), grip code 100 (0.050–0.125 in; 1.27–3.18 mm). Grip rule: code N covers N−75 to N+25 thousandths of an inch; 100 = 0.050–0.125 in

Cylindrical double-ended gauge with ends marked H and L; the break is accepted between them
Protruding
Flat plate (fork) gauge resting on the structure each side of the head
Gauge limits are not published here: the standard prints them with no unit and the readings disagree between diameters.
Notes from the standard
Part number: ASNA303 + material code + two-digit diameter code (05, 06, 08) + grip code of three or four digits. The rows show code S.
Grip code: code N covers N−75 to N+25 thousandths of an inch. Our reading, drawn from the computed ranges: the standard prints values like these with no unit. Inch is the origin of the ranges.
The mm hole values equal the inch sizes exactly (0.165 in = 4.191 mm), so the inch figures are probably the origin; no unit is printed.
Units: no mark = printed in mm and stated by the standard. † = printed with no unit; the inch value is our conversion, reading the figure as mm. Nominal Ø is our reading of the inch code (1/32 in for diameters, 1/16 in for grips). Drill: from the site drill chart, inside the hole range.
