CORRECT
Baseline dimensioning - ANSWER -All dimensions originating from a base or
datum, commonly used for cnc machines that work from a rectangular coordinate
system.
Can eliminate some accumulation of tolerances, is variable for what you are using
it for.
Chain dimensioning - ANSWER -features are dimensioned relative to one another
(used when a part function requires that features be related to one another)
Largest accumulation of tolerance between features.
General Notes - ANSWER -Appear in the lower right hand corner of a drawing
and apply to the whole drawing
Local Notes - ANSWER -Connected to specific features on the views of the
drawing. Also known as annotations. Specified with leader lines.
Unilateral Tolerancing - ANSWER -All of the deviation is in one direction from
the basic size. Tolerance is all above or all below the basic size of the dimension.
Bilateral Tolerancing - ANSWER -Where the deviation is divided in some way
above and below the basic size of the dimension. The tolerance can be equally or
unequally distributed about the basic size.
Limit Dimensions - ANSWER -Displayed with the high limit above the low limit.
If the dimension is displayed on a single line, the low limit appears before the high
limit.
, Direct dimensioning - ANSWER -Best way to control tendency of tolerances to
accumulate. Involves placing a single dimension between 2 key points to minimize
tolerance accumulation.
Statistical Tolerancing - ANSWER -A way to assign tolerances based on sound
statistical practices rather than conventional tolerancing practices.
Clearence fit - ANSWER -Specifying the limits of size in such a way that a
clearance or space always fits between mating parts.
Interference fit - ANSWER -Specifying the limits of size in such a way that an
interference of material always exists between mating parts.
Transition fit - ANSWER -Specifying the limits of size in such a way that either a
clearance or interference fit will exist when mating parts are assembled.
Allowance - ANSWER -Difference between the maximum material limits of
mating parts. It is the minimum clearance or maximum interference.
Tolerance - ANSWER -Total permissible variation of a size, it is the difference
between the upper and lower limit.
Basic size - ANSWER -size from which the limit dimensions were derived.
Clearance - ANSWER -Refers to a fit where there is space in between 2 mating
parts.
Interference - ANSWER -A fit where the 2 mating parts have intersecting nominal
volumes, requiring the deformation of the parts.
Hole basis or Basic hole system - ANSWER -the basic size is applied to the lower
limit of the hole and is frequently used.
Shaft basis or basic shaft system - ANSWER -the basic size is applied to the upper
limit of the shaft and is used when several parts are required to fit on a shaft.
