Tolerances

Tolerances are an essential aspect of engineering standards that determine the permissible variation in the dimensions and properties of a manufactured part or product. They are the allowable deviation from the nominal or desired value and are specified in engineering drawings or product specifications.

*
Dimensions

In engineering, dimensions refer to the measurable parameters of a physical object or system. These can include length, width, height, diameter, thickness and other geometric properties that define the shape and size of an object or component. Dimensions are critical in engineering design and manufacturing, as they dictate how parts fit together and function within a larger system.

*
Process Control

Process control in engineering refers to the techniques, tools and systems used to regulate and maintain a manufacturing process to produce a desired output. It involves monitoring and adjusting various process parameters, such as temperature, pressure, flow rate and level, to ensure that the output meets the desired quality, quantity and specifications.
