AI Thread Summary
DIN 16901 outlines tolerances for dimensions, but confusion arises regarding the interpretation of tolerances with deviations. The first half of the tolerance table includes standard plus and minus values, while the second half lacks these symbols, leading to questions about their interpretation. It is suggested that these second set tolerances may be assumed as positive, potentially being double the values of the first set. Clarification is sought on what "tolerances on dimensions with deviations entered against the dimensions" specifically means in practical applications. Understanding these tolerances is crucial for accurate inspection and compliance with the drawing specifications.

Hi all,

i have stumbled across a drawing which referenced DIN 16901 for its tolerance. I have a table of DIN 16091 which i don't understand.

For the first half of the tables, the tolerances are + and -, which i understand. The second half (tolerances on dimensions with Deviations entered against the dimensions) are without +/- symbols. Can i assume that the tolerances are always + ?

Thanks guys for your help!

It looks like the second set of numbers are just twice the top set for the given row/col

so if the cell says +-0.20 then the corresponding cell says 0.40
 
it Looks like it as well, but what are "tolerances on dimensions with deviations entered against the dimensions"?
I am inspecting a sampe, and have a drawing and the dimensions are with no tolerances. The only indication is in the remark section, "tolerances are according to DIN 16901".
 
I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...
Hi. I noticed that all electronic devices in my household that also tell time eventually lag behind, except the ones that get synchronized by radio signal or internet. Most of them are battery-powered, except my alarm clock (which runs slow as well). Why does none of them run too fast? Deliberate design (why)? Wrong temperature for quartz crystal? Decreasing battery voltage? Or just a coincidence?
