TOLERANCES FOR LINEAR AND ANGULAR DIMENSIONS INDIVIDUAL TOLERANCE INDICATIONS (

Third Revision )

Scope

General

This part of IS0 2758 is intended to simplify drawing indications and it specifies general tolerances for linear and angular dimensions without individual tolerance indications in four tolerance classes. NOTE 1 - The conceptsbehind the generaltolerancingof linearand angulardimensions are describedin annex A. It applies to the dimensions of parts that are produced by metal removal or parts that are formed from sheet metal. NOTES 2 Thesetolerancesmay be suitablefor use with materialsother than metal. 3 Parallel International Standards exist or are planned, e.g. see IS0 60621)for castings. This part of IS0 2758 only applies for the following dimensions which do not have an individual tolerance indication : a) linear dimensions (e.g. external sizes, internal sizes, step sizes, diameters, radii, distances, external radii and chamfer heights for broken edges); b) angular dimensions, including angular dimensions usually not indicated, e.g. right angles BOoI, unless reference to IS0 2768-2 is made, or angles of uniform pclygons; cl linear and angular dimensions produced by machining assembled parts. It does not apply for the following dimensions : a) linear and angular dimensions which are covered by reference to other standards on general tolerances; b) auxiliary dimensions indicated in brackets;

When selecting the tolerance class, the respective customary workshop accuracy has to be taken into consideration. If smaller tolerances are required or larger tolerances are permissible and more economical for any individual feature, such tolerances should be indicated adjacent to the relevant nominal dimension(s). General tolerances for .linear and angular dimensions apply when drawings or associated specifications refer to this part of IS0 2768 in accordance with clauses 4 and 5. If there are general tolerances for other processes, as specified in other International Standards, reference shall be made to them on the drawings or associated specifications. For a dimension between an unfinished and a finished surface, e.g. of cast or forged parts, for which no individual tolerance is directly indicated, the larger of the two general tolerances in question applies, e.g. for castings, see IS0 806211.
