Virtual Condition & Resultant Condition - Holes & Pins

Virtual Condition



For a shaft that fits into a hole, the shaft virtual condition must be smaller than the hole virtual condition.

For an external feature of size such as a shaft, the virtual condition is equal to the size at MMC plus the size of the position tolerance zone.

Shaft Virtual Condition

For an internal feature of size such as a hole, the virtual condition is equal to the size at MMC minus the size of the position tolerance zone.

Hole Virtual Condition

Since the shaft virtual condition is smaller than the hole virtual condition, the two parts will always mate

Virtual condition is extremely useful in design of functional gauges. A functional gauge made to virtual condition will ensure that a part will always mate with its counterpart.

In summary, the way to calculate virtual condition (VC) for a shaft and hole is:

SHAFT VC = MMC Diameter + Position Tolerance Zone Diameter

HOLE VC = MMC Diameter - Position Tolerance Zone Diameter


Resultant Condition


For a internal feature of size, the resultant condition is the variable value and outermost boundary.

For a external feature of size, the resultant condition is the variable value and innermost boundary.

The way to calculate resultant condition (RC) for a shaft and hole is:


SHAFT RC = AME - Total Tolerance

HOLE RC = AME + Total Tolerance

Whereas AME is Actual Mating Envelope &


Total Tolerance = Bonus Tolerance + Geometric Tolerance

Lets us consider a case study for Virtual & Resultant condition.

Note : virtual condition and resultant condition are applicable only for specification with material condition. Therefore in Regardless of feature size ( RFS ), the similar substitute are inner and outer boundary

  2. above example, virtual condition for hole is equal at .235 and for pin is .265. How the virtual condition of hole is smaller than pins? please explain to me.

  4. inner and outer boundary in figure "Comparison Table for Internal Feature of size" has to be replaced each other.

    1. Bonus tolerance is an additional tolerance which we get by calculating the difference between the Maximum material condition [Pin] & Actual size of it when we have M modifier beside the tolerance value in Feature control frame.
      If you can understand this then you try out considering the L modifier and also for Hole features.

  7. According to ASME Y14.9-2009 page 32 example 2-12, the resultant condition RC for internal feature is a single value ( Not Variable as you mentioned) equals to its least material condition plus its applicable geometric tolerance.
