.629.625.005LABCMeasured hole: Ø.626

How much bonus tolerance does this part get?

Worked examples

  • Hole, inches. Ø.500 to .506, position Ø.010 at MMC, measured .503. MMC is the smallest hole, .500. Bonus: .503 - .500 = .003. Total: .010 + .003 = .013.
  • Pin, metric. Ø11.80 to 12.00, position Ø0.10 at MMC, measured 11.90. MMC is the largest pin, 12.00. Bonus: 12.00 - 11.90 = 0.10. Total: 0.10 + 0.10 = 0.20.

How to type the answer

Type the number only: .013 or 0.20. The Ø sign and the unit are optional. If you are stuck after two tries, you can show the answer.

Questions

How do I work out total position tolerance at MMC?
Find the MMC size (smallest hole, largest pin). Bonus is how far the measured size is from MMC. Total = stated tolerance + bonus.
What if there is no circled M?
Then there is no bonus. The stated tolerance is all the part gets, at any size.
