ABSTRACT

This chapter describes the techniques for converting plus/minus dimensions and tolerances into the equal-bilateral format. This is necessary for all dimensions and tolerances, whether they are plus/minus or GD&T. Conversion of geometric dimensions and tolerances into equal-bilateral plus/minus toleranced dimensions will be discussed in Chapter 9. Whether dealing with U.S. inch or metric dimensions and tolerances, linear or angular units, the technique for conversion is the same.
