General Tolerance (From ASME Y14.5M-2009) : Tolerances Can Be Expressed

This document discusses different methods for expressing tolerances, including directly to a dimension, with geometric tolerances, or in notes. It also covers limit dimensioning using high and low limits, plus/minus tolerancing with the dimension first followed by the tolerance value, and the accumulation of tolerances through chain, base line, or direct dimensioning. Finally, it addresses limit of size conditions for MMC and LMC, tolerancing angled surfaces, conical and flat tapers, and radius tolerances.

General Tolerance

(from ASME Y14.5M-2009)


Tolerances can be expressed:
1. directly to a dimension
2. geometric tolerance
3. in a note
4. In a general tolerance block

Limit dimensioning
-The high limit is placed
above the low limit.

Plus and Minus Tolerancing


-The dim. is given first and is
followed by a plus and minus
expression of tolerance.

Millimeter Tolerances

25

Inch Tolerances

Tolerances Accumulation
1. Chain Dimensioning, 0.15
2. Base Line Dimensioning, 0.1
3. Direct Dimensioning, 0.05

Dimensional Limits should


be counted from an origin.

Limit of size.
MMC (Maximum Material Condition): The condition in which a
feature size contains max. amount of material within the limits of
size.
LMC (Least Material Condition)

Angled Surface
Where defined by a linear dimension and an angle, the surface lie within the tolerance by two
nonparallel planes.
Where a tolerance zone with parallel boundaries is desired, the basic angle can be specified in
rectangle.
