When dimensions require greater accuracy than a general note on the drawing provides, individual tolerances or limits must be shown for that dimension.
Individual Tolerances
The allowable variations in dimensions and geometry for individual component parts, specifying the permissible limits of error.
General Note
Information or instructions that are applicable to the entire drawing or document, rather than a specific portion.
Accuracy
The degree to which a measured value or calculation approaches the true value, often considered in terms of error magnitude.
- Acquire knowledge on the notion of tolerance in the context of mechanical dimensioning.
- Understand the application of limit dimensioning and its importance in engineering drawings.
