Scope —Describos the maximum material principle and specifies its application to different tolerances. 2. Maximum Mat ial Principle 2.1 The free assembly of components depends on the combined effect of the actual finished sizes and 3A Tors of form of position of the mating features. The minimum cleerance for assembly occurs tre serhne features are’ in thelr maximum material conditions of size and the most disadventegeous Permissible errors of form or position are present. 2:44 Assembly may be carried out even under the most unfavourable conditions permitted by the divaitions! tolerances and those of form and position if the difference of the sizes of the two elements, Cine yhich ere. considered to be of maximum material, is at least equal to the total tolerance of position (see also 3.4 ). 2.1.2 However, more clearance of assembly will be present if the actual sizes of the mating features Ay from the maximum material limits of size, and if the actual errors of form or position are less are ake maximum. It follows, therefore, that if the actual sizes of the mating features are away. from tha pcimum material limits of size, the specified tolerance of form or position may be exceeded without endangering the possibilty of assembly. EDC 20:4 [Ref : Doe: EDC 20( 1951) 2.2 This increase of toletance, which is applicable to size tolerances ( see also 3.4.5 ) a8 well as to 20 andes ‘of position end 10 certain tolerances of form, is advantageous for menufacture, but may not seleaya‘be permissible from the functional point of view. For instance, in positional tolerancing the ways be Prolerance may generally be permitted on the centre distance of such features as bolt holes, wee ete, but it may not be permissible in kinematic linkages, gear centres, etc. in ll cases. the seshar ahall decide whether or not the application of maximum material Principle may be permitted ‘and, if it cen bo, the symbo!

Application of the Maximum Mats 3:1. Perpendicular — The appliation of the maximum matrat principle to perpendiculaity is shown in Fig. 3.4.1 The axis of the spigot should be contained in a cylindrical tolerance zone, perpendicular to the datum plane A; the diameter of this zone varies from 0'04 to 0°06 as the actual spigot diameter varies from 16 ( maximum material ) to 18°98 ( minimum material ). Note 1 — Tho gauge shown in Fig. AC and 40 checks the combined effect of perpendicularty and sizo.
