Table 2 shows closer detail on the hole-basis system of ts than Table 1. When using the hole-basis system of ts, the smallest diameter in the
hole tolerance range is xed to the zero line (basic nominal hole size or diameter), and the clearance between the shaft and hole extends below
the zero line, or negative relative to the basic nominal hole size.

Determining Metric Tolerances


Table 4: IT Standard Tolerances
Table 4 details the ISO-basic tolerances (International Tolerance Grades, or, IT) which apply to all linear sizes (external and internal sizes, diameters, lengths, widths and thicknesses). An IT-grade number establishes the magnitude of the tolerance zone, while the tolerance position letter
determines where the tolerance zone is in relation to the zero line. The combination of tolerance position letter (A-X, a-x) and IT-grade number
(01-8) creates the overall tolerance symbol (i.e., F8/h7 when using the shaft-basis system of ts).
For nominal size range up to 500mm according to DIN 7151/ISO 286, and for nominal size range over 500mm, according to DIN 7172/ISO 286.

Determining Metric Tolerances


Table 6: Tolerances for inside dimensions (holes)
Table 6 details tolerances for inside dimensions (holes) based relative to the tolerance symbol. Upper and lower values are provided as either positive or negative (or zero) values relative to the nominal size chosen. Pick the range in which the desired nominal value falls into, and then either
add or subtract the tolerances to nd the upper and lower tolerance range for the desired nominal size.

Determining Metric Tolerances


Table 7: Tolerances for outside dimensions (shafts)
Table 7 details tolerances for outside dimensions (shafts) based relative to the tolerance symbol. Upper and lower values are provided as either
positive or negative (or zero) values relative to the nominal size chosen. Pick the range in which the desired nominal value fall into, and then either
add or subtract the tolerances to nd the upper and lower tolerance range for the desired nominal size.

Determining Metric Tolerances


Table 8: Tolerances for inside dimensions (holes)
Table 8 details tolerances for inside dimensions (holes) based relative to the tolerance symbol. This table works the same way as Table 6, but is
pulled from a different source (ANSI standards) and details S7 and U7 ts. Pick the nominal size value that is closest to the desired nominal size to
determine the required tolerance range relative to the chosen tolerance symbol.
