Understanding Unilateral Tolerance
The question asks for the term used when a tolerance is specified on only one side of a basic dimension.
Definition of Unilateral Tolerance
When the permissible variation (tolerance) from a basic dimension is allowed in only one direction (either plus or minus, but not both), it is called unilateral tolerance.
Key Characteristics
- The variation is restricted to a single side of the nominal or basic size.
- For example, a dimension might be specified as \(10.00^{+0.05}_{-0.00}\), meaning the size can be \(10.05\) but must not be less than \(10.00\).
Comparison with Bilateral Tolerance
This is different from bilateral tolerance, where the variation is permitted in both the positive and negative directions from the basic dimension (e.g., \(10.00 \pm 0.05\)).
Conclusion
Therefore, tolerance given on one side of the basic dimension is defined as unilateral tolerance.
