Tolerances in Engineering Drawings

What type of tolerance uses a table on the drawing and is based on number of decimal places?

• Limit dimensions

• Bilateral

• Unilateral

• General

What type of tolerance allows equal variation, both larger and smaller, than the specified dimension?

• Limit dimensions

• Unilateral

• Bilateral

• General

What type of tolerance states both the upper limit and lower limit, without needing to calculate them?

Why are tolerances important in engineering drawings?

• Variation is unavoidable in manufacturing

• Tolerances allow the designer to control variation

• The wrong tolerance can add cost or make a part unusable

• All of the above
