Size dimension:
Dimension across two opposed or partially
opposed geometric elements
Size dimension and Actual Local Size
(Page 48)

Size dimension:
Dimension across two opposed or partially
opposed geometric elements
Actual Local Size
The measured value of any individual distance at
any cross section of a regular feature of size

 Regular Feature of Size
(Page 50)

A regular feature of size must:

Contain opposed or partially opposed surfaces or
elements
Contain sufficient opposed surfaces of elements to
be established as an axis, center point, or center
plane
Be associated with a directly toleranced size
dimension
Be a shape that is cylindrical, spherical, circular,
two opposed lines or two opposed parallel planes
Regular Feature of Size
(Page 51)
 Irregular Feature of Size
(Page 51)

Type A
A directly toleranced feature of size that may
contain or be contained by a:
Sphere
Cylinder
Pair of parallel planes
 Irregular Feature of Size
(Page 51)

Type B
A directly toleranced feature or collection of
features that may contain or be contained by a
mating envelope but are NOT:
Sphere
Cylinder
Pair of parallel planes
Is toleranced as a profile
Feature of Sizes

 Actual Mating Envelope
(Page 53)

Definition:
Is the similar perfect feature counterpart of the
smallest size that can be circumscribe about an
external actual feature
 Size Terminology
Actual Mating Size Envelope (External
feature)
Similar perfect (geometric) smallest circumscribed
feature that will encompass all of the points and in
addition make contact with the highest points.

In geometry, the circumscribed circle or circumcircle of a

polygon is a circle which passes through all the vertices of the
polygon. The center of this circle is called the circumcenter.
 Actual Mating Envelope
(Page 53)
Definition:
Is the similar perfect feature counterpart of the
smallest size that can be inscribed inside an
internal actual feature

``
 Size Terminology
Actual Mating Size Envelope (Internal feature)
Similar perfect (geometric) largest inscribed feature that
will encompass all of the points and in addition make
contact with the smallest points.

In geometry, an inscribed planar shape or solid is

one that is enclosed by and "fits snugly" inside
another geometric shape or solid.
