Tolerance Block Application
Tolerance Block Application
(OP)
A drawing uses dimensions in inches and also has a weight requirement in pounds. The tolerance block only gives a tolerance for 2 place decimals. Would the tolerance apply to the weight requirement as well? The weight is not labeled as a Max or as a Reference.





RE: Tolerance Block Application
And paragraph 1.3.22 defines a dimension as a number "used to define the form, size, orientation or location, of a part or feature."
So putting those two ideas together, weight doesn't fall under the definition of a dimension, and thus the general tolerances wouldn't apply to the weight.

RE: Tolerance Block Application
It may depend on how your title block is worded. Anything I have created clearly states units. Unless your weight is in inches or millimeters, the decimals in the weight are no controlled.
How confident are you in your weight estimates.
