General Tolerance Iso 2768-mk Jun 2026
For basic dimensions like lengths, widths, heights, and diameters, class "m" dictates the following symmetric tolerances: Nominal Dimension Range (mm) Permissible Deviation (mm) over 3 to 6 over 6 to 30 over 30 to 120 over 120 to 400 over 400 to 1000 over 1000 to 2000 over 2000 to 4000
For a side up to 100mm, the limit is 0.4mm.
For parallelism , the tolerance equals the value of the size tolerance. For positional tolerances , the standard recommends using ISO 2768-2 only for "non-functional" features; otherwise, individually specify. general tolerance iso 2768-mk

Defines the tolerance class for geometrical features like straightness, flatness, and symmetry. Permissible Deviations for Broken Edges (External Radii and
ISO 2768-1 defines four precision levels. The lower-case letter in "mK" stands for Medium .
Geometrical tolerances control the form, orientation, and location of features. ISO 2768-2 defines three classes for geometrical tolerances: H, K, and L.
Tolerances are scaled according to the size of the nominal dimension. Larger dimensions receive wider tolerance zones because variations naturally increase with part size. 1. Linear Dimensions
