Q

What is a datum

A

a datum is a reference from which measurements are made (assumed to be perfect)

74
Q

What is a datum feature?

A

An actual feature that is used to establish a datum, like a face, bore or shaft

75
Q

What are datum symbols?

A

Symbols that are used to identify datum and in situations where more than 1 datum is used, their order of precedence is shown in the feature control frame

76
Q

What is a datum centre plane?

A

A plane that splits a symmetrical feature such as a slot or tab (needs a leader)

77
Q

What are the 6 degrees of freedom

A

The two rotational directions around the each of the xyz axis

78
Q

What is the symbol for coplanar surface datums?

A

L-M in the control frame

79
Q

What does A mean in the feature control frame?

A

Primary datum reference

80
Q

What does B mean in the feature control frame?

A

Secondary Datum reference

81
Q

What do letters connected by ‘-‘ in the feature control frame mean?

A

‘A-B’ multiple datum reference

82
Q

When do coaxial features exist?

A

When more than 1 features share a common axis

83
Q

for an external datum feature, how is the datum centre plane created?

A

Its established by 2 parallel planes at the minimum separation

84
Q

for an internal datum feature, how is the datum centre plane created?

A

its established by 2 parallel planes at maximum separation

85
Q

A parts tolerance should be as liberal as possible to be?

A

Consistent with the parts function

86
Q

The limits of the size of a feature controls?

A

the amount of variation in both size and form

87
Q

What is the “envelope rule”?

A

if the feature is at MMC its geometric form must be perfect

88
Q

92
Q

What can override rule #1 Extreme form variations

A

*apply a straightness control to the FOS
*By adding a special note to the FOS
*By means of the “independency” symbol (I)

Q

What does FOS mean?

A

Features of Size

94
Q

What is the symbol for RFS?

A

It doesn’t have one, its assumed when no other condition is specified

Q

What is Rule #2 “all applicable geometric tolerances”

A

RFS applies, unless MMC or LMC is specified

Q

What is Bonus Tolerance?

A

It allows the tolerance available to vary with the actual size of the part

When is Bonus Tolerance permissible

A

When a MMC or LMC modifier is used in the tolerance portion of the feature control frame

98
Q

What is a bonus tolerance derived from?

A

from the FOS tolerance

102
Q

How is circularity measured?

A

it is measured at any/each cross section perpendicular to the axis
