Question about pipe component drawing tolerances
Question about pipe component drawing tolerances
(OP)
I am reviewing a German flow meter diagram. Many of the dimensions on this drawing have the typical plus or minus tolerances. Several others have a superscript or subscript tolerance. I am trying to determine the minimum thickness. If the outer diameter of this pipe component is 114mm with a subscript of -0.3mm, does that mean the OD can reduce up to 0.3mm or does it mean that the OD can exceed the nominal 114mm by 0.3mm? I am also in need of a reference standard that explains this, where can I find this in writing? Thank you!

KENAT,
Have you reminded yourself of FAQ731-376: Eng-Tips.com Forum Policies recently, or taken a look at http://eng-tips.com/market.cfm?

That was sort of my guess, but it wsn't clear to me what tolerances joedvo indicated.
