Question 1

ASME Y14.5 states, "All limits are absolute."

Accepted Answer

According to ASME Y14.5, all tolerances and limits are absolute, meaning they cannot be exceeded or violated.

Question 2

____________________or metric SI (millimeter) units are commonly used for linear dimensions on engineering drawings.

Accepted Answer

English (decimal inch)
Decimal inch (English)

Question 3

A(n) ____________________ is where the allowable variation from the nominal value is all in one direction and zero in the other direction.

Accepted Answer

unilateral tolerance

Question 4

In an engineering drawing, the relationships between part surfaces are defined based on how they function in the product.

Accepted Answer

In an engineering drawing, the relationships between part surfaces are indeed defined based on how they function in the product. This ensures the parts fit and work together properly in the final product.

Question 5

Dimensions and tolerances communicate/document functional relationships by providing a toolset of ____________________ and ____________________ that can be used to convert product requirements into drawing specifications.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Dimensions and tolerances communicate/document functional relationships by...

Question 6

Define a plus-minus tolerance.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Define a plus-minus tolerance....

Question 7

A(n) ____________________ is a numerical value(s) or mathematical expression in appropriate units of measure used to define the size, location, orientation, or form (shape) of a feature (surface) or feature of size

Accepted Answer

The answer of A(n) ____________________ is a numerical value(s) or...

Question 8

Nominal size is the designation used to show the total amount that a specific dimension is permitted to vary.

Accepted Answer

Nominal size refers to the standard dimensions a product or component is designed and manufactured to, not the allowable variation in dimensions. The allowable variation is typically specified by the tolerance.

Question 9

The tolerances specified in an engineering drawing do not necessarily influence manufacturing.

Accepted Answer

The tolerances specified in an engineering drawing have a direct impact on manufacturing as they specify the allowable deviation from the ideal dimensions and assist in achieving the desired level of precision and accuracy in the final product.

Question 10

Explain three common uses of dimensions and tolerances.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Explain three common uses of dimensions and...

Question 11

Dimensions and tolerances are the elements that create clarity and precision on an engineering drawing.

Accepted Answer

Dimensions and tolerances are essential components of engineering drawings as they provide a clear and precise understanding of the specifications of the product being designed.

Question 12

Explain how dimensions and tolerances in an engineering drawing influence inspection choices.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Explain how dimensions and tolerances in an...

Question 13

In an engineering drawing, the amount of ____________________ represents the amount of variation that will not harm the functional requirements.

Accepted Answer

The answer of In an engineering drawing, the amount of...

Question 14

Explain a limit tolerance.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Explain a limit tolerance....

Question 15

Explain the difference between general notes, flag notes, and local notes in an engineering drawing.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Explain the difference between general notes, flag...
