Thread: Funny profile tolerancing with (U) must match the adjacent recess diameter tolerance!

    Funny profile tolerancing with (U) must match the adjacent recess diameter tolerance!

    I'm working on a part which has a recess diameter of 88.04 (+0.1, +0.3)mm. The adjacent flat surface must (because I want to understand the shenanigan) match the equivalent profile tolerance with the (U) option.

    (Sorry for image quality, some number "3" look like number "2")
    Is it possible to put a negative value with the (U) so it matches the diameter tolerance?

    Regards,

    Assuming the dimensioning and tolerancing standard in use is ASME Y14.5-2018 - Unilateral Profile tolerances start (defined from location) at the nominal location of the surface specified variation. There is not any reference to a - (negative) unilateral Profile tolerance within the standard.


    By default, Profile tolerances are bilateral equal unless otherwise specified.


    If the specification was 0.2 U 0 then the profile tolerance boundaries would be located starting at the nominal minus all 0.2 to the inside of that surface.


    If the specification was 0.2 U 0.2 then the profile tolerance boundaries would be located starting at the nominal plus all 0.2 to the outside of that surface.


    U = circle U
