accurate 90 vertical surface.
angularity
A three-dimensional geometric tolerance that
controls how much a surface, axis, or plane can
deviate from the angle described in the design
specifications.
ASME
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
ASME is an organization that publishes technical
materials and sets industrial and manufacturing
standards.
bonus tolerance
Additional tolerance that applies to a feature as its
size shifts from a stated material condition. Both
MMC and LMC allow bonus tolerance.
circular runout
A two-dimensional geometric tolerance that
controls the form, orientation, and location of
multiple cross sections of a cylindrical part as it
rotates.
circularity
A two-dimensional geometric tolerance that
controls how much a feature can deviate from a
perfect circle.
concentric Sharing the same center.
concentricity
A three-dimensional geometric tolerance that
controls how much the median points of multiple
diameters may deviate from the specified datum
axis.
coordinate tolerancing
A system for describing the design of a part that
compares its features to distances along three linear
axes. These axes create an imaginary rectangular
grid.
cross section
A section of a feature that is formed by an
intersecting imaginary plane.
cylindricity
A three-dimensional geometric tolerance that
controls how much a feature can deviate from a
perfect cylinder.
datum
An imaginary, perfect geometric shape or form. A
perfect point, line, flat plane, circle, or cylinder are
all examples of possible datums.
datum feature
A physical feature that acts as an acceptable
substitute for a datum. Datum features relate the
various features of the part to each other.
datum reference frame
Three imaginary planes perpendicular to one
another that are mapped onto the part to relate
features to each other.
feature
A physical feature of a part that naturally contains
variation and imperfections. A corner, edge, flat
surface, or hole are all examples of possible
features.
feature control frame
A series of compartments containing symbols and
values that describe the tolerance of a feature. The
order and purpose of these compartments follow a
consistent standard.
fixture
A dedicated workholding device used to locate and
hold a part during machining or inspection.
flatness
A three-dimensional geometric tolerance that
controls how much a feature can deviate from a flat
plane.
form tolerance
A group of geometric tolerances that limit the
amount of error in the shape of a feature. Form
tolerances are independent tolerances.
functional gage
A gage for a specific part that quickly checks its
form and fit in a manner similar to its intended use.
geometric dimensioning and tolerancing
An international standard for communicating
instructions about the design and manufacturing of
parts. GD&T uses universal symbols and
emphasizes the function of the part.
granite surface plate
A precise, flat plate made of granite that is used to
establish a datum plane for inspection. Granite
surface plates are available in standardized grades.
individual tolerance A tolerance that does not require a specified datum.
ISO
The International Organization for Standardization.
ISO is an organization based in Switzerland that
develops and publishes standards for its
international membership base.
least material condition
The point at which a feature contains the least
amount of material within its acceptable size limit.
The largest acceptable hole and the smallest
acceptable shaft are examples of LMC.
location tolerance
A group of geometric tolerances that limit the
location or placement of features. Location
tolerances are related tolerances.
material condition modifier
One of three modifiers that further define the
tolerance of a feature in relation to its acceptable
size limits.
maximum material condition The point at which a feature contains the greatest
amount of material within its acceptable size limit.
The smallest acceptable hole and the largest
acceptable shaft are examples of MMC.
median point
A point that is exactly the same distance between
two outer points.
orientation tolerance
A group of geometric tolerances that limit the
direction, or orientation, of a feature in relation to
other features. Orientation tolerances are related
tolerances.
parallelism
A three-dimensional geometric tolerance that
controls how much a surface, axis, or plane can
deviate from an orientation parallel to the specified
datum.
perpendicularity
A three-dimensional geometric tolerance that
controls how much a surface, axis, or plane can
deviate from a 90 degree angle.
position
A three-dimensional geometric tolerance that
controls how much the location of a feature can
deviate from its true position.
primary datum
The datum feature that first situates the part within
the datum reference frame. The primary datum is
the first feature to contact a fixture or surface
during assembly.
profile The outline of a part feature within a given plane.
profile of a line
A two-dimensional geometric tolerance that
controls how much the outline of a feature can
deviate from the true profile.
profile of a surface
A three-dimensional geometric tolerance that
controls how much a surface can deviate from the
true profile.
profile tolerance
A group of powerful geometric tolerances that
control the size, location, orientation, and form of a
feature. Profile tolerances can be either independent
or related.
regardless of feature size
A modifier indicating that the stated tolerance for a
feature applies regardless of its actual size within
an acceptable size limit. RFS does not permit bonus
tolerance.
related tolerance A tolerance that requires a specified datum.
roundness measuring machine
A sophisticated inspection device with a precision
spindle that measures various circular or cylindrical
features.
runout tolerance
A group of geometric tolerances that
simultaneously limit the form, location, and
orientation of cylindrical parts. Runout tolerances
are related tolerances requiring a datum axis.
secondary datum
The datum feature that situates the part within the
datum reference frame after the primary datum. The
secondary datum is the second feature to contact a
fixture or surface during assembly.
straightness
A two-dimensional geometric tolerance that
controls how much a feature can deviate from a
straight line.
symmetry
A three-dimensional geometric tolerance that
controls how much the median points between two
features may deviate from a specified axis or center
plane.
tertiary datum
The datum feature that situates the part within the
datum reference frame after the secondary datum.
three-dimensional tolerance
A tolerance that controls a shape having a length,
width, and depth.
tolerance
An unwanted but acceptable deviation from a given
dimension. Tolerances indicate the allowable
difference between a physical feature and its
intended design.
tolerance zone
An imaginary zone in which a part feature must be
completely contained for the part to pass
inspection.
total runout
A three-dimensional geometric tolerance that
controls the form, orientation, and location of the
entire length of a cylindrical part as it rotates.
true position
The imaginary perfect position of a feature
described by the design specifications.
true profile
The perfect, imaginary profile described by the
design specifications.
two-dimensional tolerance
A tolerance that controls a shape having only a
length and width.
