Tolerance Block Application
- Thread starter clalpha
- Start date
According to ASME Y14.5, a general tolerance block covers "all dimensions on a drawing for which tolerances are not otherwise specified" (paragraph 2.1.1(e)).
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.

clalpha,
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.
