Is there is a proper standard for designing choosing and straight coupling splines?

[St0RM33]

Commonly used in vehicle transmission input shaft and axle shafts for example.

Shown below both internal and external types.

My bible for all things technical: Machinery's Handbook. In my opinion, one of the main quick indicators that a mechanical engineer knows what he's doing and is competent in his field is when he has a well-worn copy on his (or her) desk - an actual written copy. Remember books?

Page 2034 of the 24th edition references ANSI B92.1-1970 as a standard for imperial involute splines, and ANSI B92.2M-1980 (R1989) for metric involute splines. Explanations of spline details continues to page 2062. Tables of sizes, geometries, tolerances, classes, etc.

Thanks for the replies but i am actually looking for specific info on serrated splines only. Seems most are cut using 90 degree V cutter, but i've encountered some really weird ones in the field, 74 degrees or so from what i remember and some uncommon shaft size.
