How Many Decimal Places?
How Many Decimal Places?
(OP)
OK, I know if my dimension is 1.0005 my tolerances have to be to 4 places (+/- .0005). My question comes in when the 1.0005 is defined as Datum A. When a second surfce is controlled perpendicular to A within 5 thousandths...does it get expressed as .005 or .0050?
Thanks,
Anthony

To clarify what TheTick posts, the number of decimal places in a FCF would be the same as that of any related dimension locating that feature (para 2.3.2(d) of the standard). Not quite the situation about which you are asking.
