Dimensioning and Tolerancing Fundamentals
Dimensioning and Tolerancing FundamentalsMany people know how to design parts and make drawings, yet they lack the basic knowledge to produce engineering drawings that conform to industry standards. Nonconforming drawings can be confusing, cause misunderstanding, and produce unacceptable parts. This chapter will familiarize the reader with some of the less well known but important standards based on dimensioning and tolerancing practices. All of the drawings in this book are dimensioned and toleranced with the inch system of measurement because most drawings produced in the United States are dimensioned with this system. Metric dimensioning is shown for illustration purposes only.
