Engineering measurement tolerances are the permissible limits of variation in measurements. Example a piece of steel 25mm square where it would be allowed to be +.001mm or -.001mm on this size. The plus or minus is the tolerance

What is the difference between a general and specific tolerance and how can you tell the difference on the drawing?

when reading a blueprint, a general tolerance would apply for all dimensions that are not individually identified. eg, all tolerances are +\- .030" General tolerances are normally found in the information blocks of the blueprint. If for example a tighter tolerance is required, then a specific tolerance is noted for certain areas of the blueprint. These tolerances are normally found beside the affected area.


What are the typical ways of communicating technical information and how much detail should be included?

Many ways are used to communicate technical information, such as, oral and writtenIn all cases enough detail must be included to fully understand without confusion.


How do you identify workpiece reference points and systems of tolerance?

Reference points: Think about how the part will be made, and how it will be inspected. Usually something will make sense. Try to keep common references between drawing views, and if possible try to base everything from points, planes, or edges that appear in multiple views. Tolerances: Consider how the part will be made- what minimum tolerances can be held on the intended equipment and processes? What is the maximum tolerance on the individual parts that will allow the assembly to fit together and function properly? The right answers lie between those extremes.

Why is vernier caliper or a micrometer gauge more accurate for taking measurements than a meter stick?

The caliper and micrometer use a dial or digital readout to measure the distance between the tips. The tolerances of these tools can be under .001 inch, making them extremely accurate.

What are the uses of micrometer screw gauge?

Micrometer screw gauges are used for measuring very small distances with high precision, typically in the range of 0.01 mm to 0.001 mm. They are commonly used in engineering, machining, manufacturing, and laboratory settings where precise measurements are crucial. Micrometer screw gauges provide accurate measurements that can be read easily and are commonly used for components that require tight tolerances.

What is the maximum allowable resistance of a 680ohms resistor?

This depends on the tolerance rating of the resistor. There's 1, 2, 5, 10% tolerances. For tighter tolerances, you pay a premium - you can get tolerances as close as .1%. This is defined by one of the bands on the resistor. For a 10% tolerance, the maximum resistance of a 680 ohm resistor could be 748 ohms.
