Everything about Engineering tolerance

Permissible limit or limits of variation

Engineering tolerance is the permissible limit or limits of variation in:a physical dimension; a measured value or physical property of a material, manufactured object, system, or service; other measured values ; in engineering and safety, a physical distance or space (tolerance), as in a truck (lorry), train or boat under a bridge as well as a train in a tunnel ; in mechanical engineering, the space between a bolt and a nut or a hole, etc. Wikipedia →
