Definitions Flashcards
A worst case boundary generated by the smallest feature (MMC for an internal feature, and LMC for an external feature), minus the stated geometric tolerance in any additional geometric tolerance (if applicable), resulting from the features departure from its specified material condition.
Inner boundary
The limit defined by tolerance or combination of tolerances, that exists on or inside the material of a feature (S).
Least Material Boundary(LMB)
The limit defined by a tolerance or combination of tolerances that exists on, or outside the material of a feature.
Maximum Material Boundary(MMB)
The worst case boundary generated by the largest feature (LM C, for an internal feature and MMC for an external feature), plus the stated geometric tolerance and any additional geometric tolerance (if applicable), resulting from the features departure from its specific material condition.
Outer Boundary
A single surface of compound curvature, or a collection of other features that constrains up to six degrees of freedom.
Complex Feature
A theoretically exact point axis, line plane, or combination thereof, derived from the theoretical datum feature simulator.
Datum
The axis of a datum feature simulator established from the datum feature.
Datum Axis
The center plain of a datum feature simulator established from the datum feature.
Datum Center Plane
A feature that is identified with either a datum feature symbol, or a datum target symbol.
Datum Feature
Encompasses, two types, theoretical and physical.
Datum feature simulator
The theoretically, perfect boundary used to establish a datum from a specified datum feature.
Datum Feature Simulator(Theoretical)
The physical boundary used to establish a simulated datum from a specified datum feature.
Datum Feature Simulator(Physical)
A point axis line or plane (or combination thereof), coincident with or derived from processing or inspection equipment, such as the following simulators: a surface plate, a gauge surface, a mandrel, or a mathematical equation.
Simulated Datum
A numerical value(S) or a mathematical expression, in appropriate units of measure used to define the form size, orientation, or location of a part or feature.
Dimension
A theoretically exact dimension
Basic Dimension
A dimension usually without a tolerance that is used for informational purposes only.
Reference Dimension
This envelope is outside the material. A similar perfect feature (S) counterpart of smallest size that can be contracted about an external feature(S so that it coincides with the surface (S) at the highest points.
Actual Mating Envelope
A similar perfect feature (S) counterpart expanded within an internal feature (S) or contracted about an external feature (S) and not constrained to any datum(s).
Unrelated Actual Mating Envelope
A similar perfect feature counterpart expanded within an internal feature (S) or contracted about an external feature (S) while constrained, either in orientation or location or both to the applicable datum(s).
Related Actual Mating Envelope
This envelope is within the material. A similar perfect feature(S) counterpart of largest size that can be expanded within an external feature (S) or smallest size that can be contracted about an internal feature (S) so that it coincides with the surface (S) at the lowest points.
