Tolerances
Geometric Tolerance
No component can practically be manufactured to exact
dimensions (sizes).
Tolerances are used to control the variation that exists on all
manufactured parts.
It is the amount, each part is allowed to vary depending
upon the function of the part and assembly.
Toleranced dimensions control the amount of variation on
each part of an assembly.
When different parts are assembled, they must fit together
and function correctly.
Tolerancing / Interchangeability
Tolerancing is dimensioning for
interchangeability.
What is interchangeability?
An interchangeable part is simply a mass
produced part (a replacement part).
