Tolerances

c) Need not to be machined to an accuracy of the high degree
d) Function is more important than accuracy
Answer: a
Explanation: Non-functional dimensions have no effect on the performance of quality of
the assembly or component. Non-functional dimensions need not to be machined to
higher accuracy.
2. Why tolerances are given to the parts?
a) Because it’s impossible to make perfect settings
b) To reduce weight of the component
c) To reduce cost of the assembly
d) To reduce amount of material used
Answer: a
Explanation: Tolerances are provided to the parts because variations in the material
properties introduce errors and production machines themselves have inherent
inaccuracies. Another reason to introduce tolerance is that it is not possible to make
perfect settings by operator so some tolerances are provided.
3. What is bilateral tolerance?
a) Total tolerance is in 1 direction only
b) Total tolerance is in both the directions
c) May or may not be in one direction
d) Tolerance provided all over the component body
Answer: b

usually have + and – tolerance of equal amount.
4. Which type of tolerance provided in drilling mostly?
a) Bilateral
b) Unilateral
c) Trilateral
d) Compound
Answer: b
Explanation: Mostly unilateral tolerance is provided in drilling as dimension is allowed
to vary in one direction only. Hole is always oversize, not undersize.

a) Maximum size of hole minus maximum size of shaft
b) Minimum size of hole minus minimum size of shaft
c) Mean size of hole minus mean size of shaft
d) Average of both size of shaft and hole
Answer: c
Explanation: Statistical approach allows wider tolerances compared to complete
interchangeability approach. Methods used by statistical approach are usually permits
cheaper production. Mean clearance is equal to (mean size of hole – mean size of shaft).
6. Which of the following is incorrect about tolerances?
a) Too loose tolerance results in less cost
b) Tolerance is a compromise between accuracy and ability
c) Too tight tolerance may result in excessive cost

performance of the product. Tight tolerance results in unnecessary machining and
inspection time.

a) Normal distribution
b) Random sampling
c) Independence between samples

a) T, T
b) F, F
c) T, F
d) F, T
Answer: c
Explanation: Bilateral tolerances are preferred in mass production techniques where
setting of a machine is done for the basic size. If unilateral tolerances are specified in
place of bilateral, then basic size should be changed to make it bilateral. Basic size is in
half way between lower and upper limits.

hole for a complete interchangeable approach?
a) ½ of maximum clearance – ½ of minimum clearance

statistical and complete interchangeable approach. There is no risk is taken about a single
non-conforming assembly in complete interchangeable approach.

what is required to do. Interchangeability is for ease of replacement of part. Economics is
related to the minimum cost and time.
3. For full interchangeability, what is the relation between the process capability of a
machine and manufacturing tolerance of the part?
a) Process capability = Manufacturing tolerance
b) Process capability ≥ Manufacturing tolerance
c) Process capability > Manufacturing tolerance
d) Process capability ≤ Manufacturing tolerance

manufacturing whose process capability ≤ manufacturing tolerance. If this condition is
satisfied, then the component will meet the desired tolerance and capable of mating with
other.

the manufacturing unit are traceable to international standards.
5. Which of the following option is not correct for ‘full interchangeability’?
a) This type of interchangeability is not feasible sometimes
b) Requires machine which can maintain low process capability
c) Machines with very high accuracy are necessary
d) For interchangeable production, this type of interchangeability is not must
Answer: b
Explanation: Full interchangeability is also known as universal interchangeability. Many
times, universal interchangeability is not feasible because it requires machine capable of
maintaining very high accuracy and high process capability.
6. What is the main use of automatic gauge in selective assembly?
a) Check accuracy of parts
b) Check parallelism of parts
c) Divide group of parts with some tolerance in smaller groups
d) Use to check errors in parts
Answer: c
Explanation: If parts to be assembled have normal tolerance of 0.01 mm then a gauge
can be divided them into 10 different groups of 0.001 mm, this gauge is known as
automatic gauge. It is for selective assembly of different parts.
7. What is the correct formula to find no. of groups in selective assembly?
a) Process capability / Tolerance desired
b) Tolerance desired / Process capability
c) Tolerance desired * Process capability

tolerance and process capability of machine. Conditions like high quality and low cost
can be achieved by selective assembly technique.
8. What is a limit system?
a) Series of tolerances
b) Series of fits
c) Series of clearances
d) Series of limits
Answer: a
Explanation: Limit system is a series of tolerances arranged to suit a specific range of

grades depend upon shaft or hole size.

Guide for Selection of Fits

1. Which of the following is not true for hole and shaft basis systems?
a) Hole basis system is generally preferred over shaft basis system
b) Shaft basis system can be used when products are made from bright drawn bars
c) Choice of the system depends upon nature of the product
d) In hole basis system, allowances are applied to the hole

a) H5
b) H6
c) H7
d) H9
Answer: d
Explanation: H9, H5, H6, H7 these all are the grades of a hole. H9 can be obtained by

a) Shaft ‘a’ gives a large clearance
b) Shaft ‘n’ is used for clearance fits
c) Shaft ‘d’ can be used for loose pulleys
d) Shaft ‘g’ is expensive to manufacture

Answer: b
Explanation: Shaft ‘n’ gives transition fit. It gives clearance to only extreme sizes. It is
recommended for tight fits. Grades 5, 6 and 7 are available. Shafts a, b and c gives
clearance fit. They all gives large clearance so they are not widely used.
4. What is the range of shafts which produce transition fits?
a) Shaft ‘a’ to ‘h’
b) Shaft ‘e’ to ‘n’
c) Shaft ‘d’ to ‘h’
d) Shaft ‘j’ to ‘n’
Answer: d
Explanation: ‘a’ to ‘h’ shafts produces clearance fits with H7 basic hole. ‘j’ to ‘n’
produce transition fit with H7 basic size. Transition fits may result in either interference
or clearance fit. It will depend upon the actual size of tolerance of mating component.
5. Which grades are available in shaft ’j’ assembly?
a) 1 to 5
b) 2 to 6
c) 3 to 7
d) 5 to 11
Answer: d

permitted. It can be used in gear rings clamped to steel hubs.
6. Which of the following grade is never used for fits?
a) H10

Answer: b
Explanation: H5, H6, H7, H8, H9, H10, H11 these are the hole grades. H10 is not used
for diameter fits. It can be used for milled widths. H11 is never used for fits because this
grade is very coarse. H11 is useful only for coarse punched holes or drilled holes.

to that, gives rise to pneumatic system.
7. In a thermal system, the temperature of the medium is ______
a) increasing
b) decreasing
c) zero
d) uniform
Answer: d
Explanation: To analyze a thermal system and determine its transfer function the

a) 1
b) 3
c) 5
d) 7

a) Increases
b) Decreases
c) Zero

a) Digital to Analog
b) Analog to Digital

take place. Automatic systems don’t understand analog signals as they only take digital
inputs in the form of 0 & 1 so we use a analog to digital converter which converts the
signal
