Dimensioning and Tolerancing Chapter 10
Dimensioning Components • Dimension lines-determine the extent and direction of dimensions • Extension lines indicate the point on the object that the dimension applies to. You will need to be able to label these parts as on a test

Mechanical drafting standards Text height • .10 or .125 inches • 3 mm Arrow Length • .125 inches • 3 mm Arrow style Filled Non-filled
Leaders • Used to direct dimensions, notes, symbols, item numbers or part numbers to features on a drawing. • Typically drawn at 30˚, 45˚or 60˚ • Never drawn horizontal or vertical
Uses for dimensions • To make the part • To design mating parts • To design tooling that will be used to manufacture the part • To check inspect parts that have been manufactured to make sure they are correct • To design Jigs and fixtures to aid in production and assembly
Working Drawings A drawing from which a part can be produced, a complete set of instructions. Working Drawings consist of: • Views necessary to explain the shape of a part • Dimensions needed to create the part • Specifications (material, manufacturing process, etc.)
Good dimensioning practices Drawings need to be neat and easy to understand!! • Keep about .5” distance from the part to the first set of dimensions • Keep about .3” between rows of dimensions • Always use single style of arrowhead and font throughout the entire drawing • Do not dimension hidden lines • Try to keep dimensions off of the object when possible
Tolerances Tolerances are permissible variations in the specified form, size or location of a feature of a part. • Parts cannot be manufactured exactly • Allowances for minor variations must be given in order to be able to efficiently manufacture parts
Types of tolerances Bilateral Tolerance-allows the specified dimension to vary in two directions. Unilateral Tolerance-allows the specified dimension to vary in only one direction.
Limits Limits are the largest and smallest size a part can measure when referencing a tolerance. Limits of this toleranced dimension: 1.502 1.498
Reference Dimensions Used for information purposes only Can be: • A dimension that has already been specified by other dimensions • Repeat of a dimension already given in another view • Used to clarify what’s intended but not used to manufacture or inspect
Shown by dimension in parenthesis - (85.5) Or with REF after the dimension - 85.5 REF Without reference dims With reference dims
Reference Dimensions used in section view to identify objects already dimensioned
Dimensioning Units International System of Units (SI Metric) • Uses millimeters (mm) • Whole numbers: 10, 10.5 • No trailing zeros: 10.50 • Should have the same number of decimal places on the dimension and the tolerance • 1.000±.010 NOT 1.000±.01 Decimal Inches • U.S. Customary method • Number of decimal places used to determine accuracy of tolerances: 1.5, 1.50, 1.500 • Usually 2 or 3 decimal places • Zero before decimal if value is less than 1 • 0.8
Fractional Units • Not commonly used on engineering drawings • Require large tolerances • Can be used to call out a feature that is made by a tool measured in fractions (drill bits) • Used to call out a dimension of little importance
Angular Units Decimal Degree (preferred) • 10˚ • 10.5˚ • .5˚ • Degrees, Minutes and Seconds • 10˚30’ • 0˚45’ • 10˚30’45”
Dual Dimensioning Dimensioning using two units of measurement (inches and mm) • For drawings that will be used by companies that use different units • Format being used must be identified in a note 0n the drawing
Format for Dual Dimensioning Inches [mm] Inches [mm] *Can be mm first
