A.2__Avove certain tolerance values, here is usually no gain in’ manufacturing economy by enlarging the tolerance, For ‘example, a feature having a 35 mm diameter could be manutac: tured to @ high level of conformance in @ workshop with “customary medium accuracy". Specifying 2 tolerance of £1 mm would be of no benefit in this particular workshop, 25 the general tolerance values of +0,3mm would be quite adequate, However, if, for functional reasons, a feature requires a smaller tolerance value than the “general tolerances". than that feature should have the smaler tolerance ingicated individually adja cent to the dimension defining ite size or angle. This typo of tolerance falls outside the scope of general tolerances. In cases where the function of a feature allows a tolerance ‘equal to or larger than the general tolerance values, those ‘should not be indicated agjacent ro the dimension but should be stated on the drawing as described in clauze 5. Thie type of tolerance allows full use of ihe concept of general tolerancing, ‘There willbe “exceptions to the rule” where the function of the feature allows a larger tolerance than the general tolerances, {and the larger tolerance will provide manufacturing economy, In thess epecial casee, tho larger tolerance should be indicted Ingividuaty adjacent tothe dimension for the particular featur, 1.9. the depth of blind holes driled at essembiy. A.3 Using general tolerances leads to the following advan. tages. {)_Grawings are easier to read and thus communication is made more effective to the user of the drawing: 1b) the design droughtamen saves time by avoiding de tailed tolerance calculations as its sufficient only to know that the function allows a tolerance greater than or equal tO the general tolerance: TT ©} the drawing readily indicates which feature can be pro- duced by normal process capeblity, which siso assists ‘uality engineering by reducing inspactian levels: )_those dimensions remaining, which have individually in- dicated tolerances, wil, forthe most par, be those wontrol- ling features for which the function requires relatively small, tolerances and which therefore may requle special effort in the production — this wil be helpful for production plan- ning and wit assist quality control services in their analysis (of inepection requirements; 2) purchase and sub-contract. supply engineers cen Negotiate orders more readily since the ‘customary workshop accuracy” is known before the contract is placed this also avoids arguments on delivery between the buyer and the supplier, since in this respect the drawing 's com plete These advantages ate fully obtained only when there ie sufficient relablty that the generat tolerances wil not be exceeded, ie. whan the customary workshop accuracy of the Particular’ workshop is equal to oF finer than the general tolerances indicated in the drawing. The workshop should, therefore = find out by measurements what workshop accuracy is: ts customary = _accept oniy those crawings having general tolerances ‘qual to or graater than it customary workshop accuracy; check by sampling that its customary workshop accu: racy does not deteriorate Relying on undefined "good workmanship" with al ite uncer: {ainties and misunderstandings is no longor necessary with the concept of general geometrical tolerances, The generat geometrical tolerances define the required accuracy of "good ‘workmanship’ AA The tolerance the function allows is often greater nan the general tolerance The function of the partis, therefore, not ‘always inpired when the general tolerance is {occasionally exceeded at any feature of the workpiece, Exceeding the ‘general tolerance should lead to a rejection ot the workpiece ‘only if the function is impaired.BST BS¥ENS227b8- 1 93 MM bb246b9 0384490 458 A Page 6 EN 22768-1 : 1993 Annex ZA (normative) Normative references to international publications with their relevant European publications ‘This Buropean Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications, ‘These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text. and the publications are listed hereafter.
