Different types of tolerances are

1. Dimensional Tolerances2. Form Tolerances3. Position Tolerances4. Surface Roughness values5. Combination Tolerances

Other details shown on drawing are

Material specificationSpecial treatments if anyHeat treatmentsAssembly conditionSpecial notes

Tolerance: Tolerance is the total permissible variation from the specified basic size of the part. It is defined as the magnitude of permissible variation of a dimension or measured control criterion from specified value.

Basic size: The basic size is the size on which variation permitted.

Actual size: The size of a feature obtained by measurement

FITS

When two parts to be assembled, the relation resulting from the difference between the size before assembly is called a fit.

A fit is represented by φ 30 H 7 / g6, φ 30 H 7 / p6, φ 40 H7/h6,φ 40 H7k6, φ 40 H7p6,

These compartments contain, from left to right ,in the following order (see figures 3,4 and 5) :_ The symbol for the characteristic to be toleranced:_ The tolerance value in the unit used for linear dimensions. This value is preceded by the sign Φ if the tolerance zone is circular or cylindrical:_ if appropriate, the letter or letters identifying the datum feature (see figures 4 and 5)

• The tolerance frame is connected to the toleranced feature by a leader line terminating with an arrow in the following way:

• _ on the outline of the feature or an extention of the outline ( but clearly separated from the dimension line) when the tolerance refers to the line surface itself (see figures 11 and 12)

8 Datums 8.1 When a tolerance feature is related to a datum, this is generally shown by datum latter which defines the datum is repeated in the tolerance frame.To identify the datum, a capital letter enclosed in a frame is connected to a solid or blank datum triangle (see figures 29&30).

Figure 29 Figure 30

Page 32: Limits Fits Tolerances

8.2 The Datum triangle with the datum letter is placed:-On the outline of the feature or an extension of the out line (but clearly

separated from the dimension line), when the datum feature is the line or surface itself (see figures 31)

Figure 31

- as an extension of the dimension line when the datum feature is the axis or median plane (see figures 32 to 34). NOTE - If there is insufficient space for two arrows, one of them may be

replaced by the datum triangle (see figures 33 and 34).

on the axis or median plane when the datum is :a) the axis or median plane of a single

feature (for example a cylinder);

b) the common axis or plane formed by two features (see figure 35).

Page 33: Limits Fits Tolerances

8.3 If the tolerance frame can be directly connected with the datum feature by a leader line, the datum letter may be omitted (see figures 36 and 37).

8.4 A single datum is identified by a capital letter (see figure 38).A common datum formed by two features is identified by two datum letter separated by a hyphen (see figure 39).

If the sequence of two or more datum features is important the datum letters are placed in different compartments (see figure 40), where the sequence from left to right shows the order of priority.

If the sequence of two or more datum features is not important the datum letters are indicated in the same compartment (see figure 41).

9 Restrictive specifications

9.1 If the tolerance is applied to a restricted length, lying anywhere, the value of this length shall be added after the tolerance value and separated from it by an oblique stroke.

In the case of a surface, the same indication is used. This means that the tolerance applies to all lines of the restricted length in any position and any direction (see figure 42).

Page 34: Limits Fits Tolerances

9.2 If a smaller tolerance of the same type is added to the tolerance on the whole feature, but restricted over a limited length, the restrictive tolerance shall be indicated in the lower compartment (see figure 43).

9.3 If the tolerance is applied to a restricted part of the feature only, this shall be dimensioned as shown in figure 44.

9.4 If the datum is applied to a restricted part of the datum feature only, this shall be dimensioned as shown in figure 45.•9.5 Restrictions to the form of the feature within

the tolerance zone are shown in 5.3.

.

Figure 46Figure 47

Theoretically exact dimensions

If tolerances of position or of profile or of angularity are prescribed for a feature, the dimensions determining the theoretically exact position, profile or angle respectively, shall not be toleranced.

These dimensions are enclosed, for example The corresponding actual dimensions of the part are subject only to the position tolerance, profile tolerance or angularity tolerance specified within the tolerance frame (see figures 46 and 47).

Page 35: Limits Fits Tolerances

• Projected tolerance zone In some causes the tolerances of orientation and location shall apply not to the feature itself but to the external projection of it. Such projected tolerance zones are to be indicated by the symbol (see figure 48).

Maximum material condition

The indication that the tolerance value applies at the maximum material condition is shown by the symbol placed after:

The tolerance value (see figure 49);

The datum letter (see figure 50);

Or both (see figure 51);According to whether the maximum material principle is to be applied respectively to the toleranced feature. the datum feature or both.

• Definitions of tolerances• The various geometrical tolerances are defined with their

tolerance zones in the following pages. In all the illustrations of the definitions only those deviations are shown with which the definitions deal.

• Where required for functional reasons, one or more characteristics will be toleranced to define the geometrical accuracy of a feature. When the geometrical accuracy of a feature is defined by a certain type of tolerance, other deviations of this feature in some cases will be controlled by this tolerance (for example, straightness deviation is limited by parallelism tolerance). Thus it would rarely be necessary to symbolize all of these characteristics, since the other deviations are included on the zone of tolerance defined by the symbol specified.

CircularityThe permissible deviation of the diameter is indicated directly on the drawing; the general tolerance on circularity is equal to the numerical value of the diameter tolerance.

EXAMPLE 1

Circularity

The general tolerance in accordance with the indication ISO 2768-mK apply. The permissible deviations for the diameter of 25mm are ±0.2mm. These deviations lead to the numerical value of 0.4mm which is greater than the value of 0.2mm given in table 4; the value of 0.2mm therefore, applies for the circularity tolerance.

Symmetry– Examples

Figure 52

Figure 53

For some tolerance zones (for example, for straightness of a line or axis in one direction only) there are two possible methods, of graphical representation:

By two parallel planes a distance ‘t’ apart (see figure 52);

By two parallel straight lines a distance ‘t’ apart (see figure 53);

Figure 52 shows a three-dimensional representation, figure 53 its projection in a plane.

There is no difference in the meaning of the two representations (such a tolerance does not restrict the deviation in any direction perpendicular to the arrow). The simpler method as shown in figure 53 is normally used in this International Standard.
