Part B, Appendix III - As detailed vs As fitup
Part B, Appendix III - As detailed vs As fitup
(OP)
Hello all,
New guy here studying for the CWI exam. Due to the price of prep courses and the number of guys I know that have taken them and still failed, I'm studying mainly using the internet and material given to me by other CWIs.
The chart on Appendix III contains various tolerances for angle, root face, and root opening. The two columns for each are "as detailed" and "as fitup".
I'm working on practice questions about the tolerances, and so far, all the answers came from adding the tolerances in the "as fitup" column to the given range.
What is the exact difference between the two? I can't find any full explanation of what exactly "as detailed" and "as fitup" are, at least not in the spec itself and not on Google!
Also, in which situations do we use the tolerances from the "as detailed" column to add to the range?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you

I searched both forums and found it. Since I'm not sure if it's allowed, I'm not going to post the link to another forum on this forum. I'll try to summarize, though.
Basically, "as detailed" means the maximum tolerance that can be designed. "As fit up" means the maximum allowed deviation FROM the design.
Thank you guys for the reference.
