ANSI/ASME Y14.1
In 1992, the American National Standards Institute adopted ANSI/ASME Y14.1 Decimal Inch Drawing Sheet Size and Format which defined a regular series of paper sizes based upon the de facto standard 8+1⁄2 in × 11 in "letter" size which it assigned "ANSI A". This series also includes "ledger"/"tabloid" as "ANSI B". This series is somewhat similar to the ISO 216 standard in that cutting a sheet in half would produce two sheets of the next smaller size. Unlike the ISO standard, however, the arbitrary aspect ratio forces this series to have two alternating aspect ratios. ANSI/ASME Y14.1 has been revised or updated in 1995, 2005 and 2012. It has an accompanying standard ANSI/ASME Y14.1M that defines metric drawing paper sizes based upon ISO 216 and ISO 5457.
