Answer 1

True

Question 2

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

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

unilateral tolerance

Question 4

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

Question 6

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

Question 8

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

Question 9

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

Question 10

Explain three common uses of dimensions and tolerances.

Question 11

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

Question 12

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

Question 13

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

Question 14

Explain a limit tolerance.

Question 15

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