General Notes - CORRECT ANSWER - Appear in the lower right hand corner
of a drawing and apply to the whole drawing
Local Notes - CORRECT ANSWER - Connected to specific features on the
views of the drawing. Also known as annotations. Specified with leader lines.
Unilateral Tolerancing - CORRECT ANSWER - All of the deviation is in one
direction from the basic size. Tolerance is all above or all below the basic size
of the dimension.
Bilateral Tolerancing - CORRECT ANSWER - Where the deviation is divided
in some way above and below the basic size of the dimension. The tolerance
can be equally or unequally distributed about the basic size.
Limit Dimensions - CORRECT ANSWER - Displayed with the high limit
above the low limit. If the dimension is displayed on a single line, the low limit
appears before the high limit.
Direct dimensioning - CORRECT ANSWER - Best way to control tendency
of tolerances to accumulate. Involves placing a single dimension between 2 key
points to minimize tolerance accumulation.
Statistical Tolerancing - CORRECT ANSWER - A way to assign tolerances
based on sound statistical practices rather than conventional tolerancing
practices.
, Clearence fit - CORRECT ANSWER - Specifying the limits of size in such a
way that a clearance or space always fits between mating parts.
Interference fit - CORRECT ANSWER - Specifying the limits of size in such
a way that an interference of material always exists between mating parts.
Transition fit - CORRECT ANSWER - Specifying the limits of size in such a
way that either a clearance or interference fit will exist when mating parts are
assembled.
Allowance - CORRECT ANSWER - Difference between the maximum
material limits of mating parts. It is the minimum clearance or maximum
interference.
Tolerance - CORRECT ANSWER - Total permissible variation of a size, it is
the difference between the upper and lower limit.
Basic size - CORRECT ANSWER - size from which the limit dimensions
were derived.
Clearance - CORRECT ANSWER - Refers to a fit where there is space in
between 2 mating parts.
Interference - CORRECT ANSWER - A fit where the 2 mating parts have
intersecting nominal volumes, requiring the deformation of the parts.
Hole basis or Basic hole system - CORRECT ANSWER - the basic size is
applied to the lower limit of the hole and is frequently used.
