International Tolerance Grade

An "International Tolerance Grade" establishes the magnitude of the tolerance zone or the amount of part size variation allowed for internal & external dimensions alike. The smaller the grade number the smaller the tolerance zone.

Grade 1-4 are very precise grades Primarily used for Gage making & similar precision works, although grade 4 can be used for precise production works.

Grade 5-16 represent a progressive series suitable for cutting operation such as turning, boring, grinding, milling & sawing. Grade 5 is the most precise grade obtained by fine grinding  & lapping. Grade 16 is the coarsest grade for rough sawing & machining.

Grade 12-16 are intended for manufacturing operation such as pressing, rolling & other forming operations.

Tolerance position letters

Fundamental positions are expressed by "Tolerance position letters". Capital letters are used for internal dimensions (bore) and lower case letters are used for external dimensions (shaft).

There are 28 possible letters.They are A, B, C, CD, D, E, EF, F, FG, G, H, JS, J, K, M, N, P, R, S, T, U, V, X, Y, Z, ZA, ZB, ZC for Internal dimensions.

The letters "I, L, O, W, Q" & "i,l, o, w, q" are not used.
