Define Perpendicularity

Perpendicularity is the condition that results when a surface, axis, or center plane is exactly 90 deg to a datum. A perpendicularity control is a geometric tolerance that limits the amount a surface, axis, or center plane is permitted to vary from being perpendicular to the datum.

Perpendicularity Applications
Perpendicularity applied to a surface. Perpendicularity applied to a planar FOS. Perpendicularity applied to a cylindrical FOS.

Perpendicularity Tolerance Zones

Two Parallel Planes A cylinder

Perpendicularity applied to a surface

Interpretations:
Tolerance zone two parallel planes that are perpendicular to the datum plane. Distance between tolerance plane specified tolerance value. Important criteria all elements of the surface must be within the tolerance zone. Perpendicularity tolerance zone limits the flatness of toleranced feature.

Interpretations Tolerance zone two parallel planes that are perpendicular to the datum plane. Distance between tolerance plane specified tolerance value. Important criteria all elements of the surface must be within the tolerance zone. Perpendicularity tolerance zone limits the flatness of toleranced feature

Angularity Control
Angularity is the condition of a surface, center plane, or axis being exactly at the specified angle.

An angularity control is a geometric tolerance that limits the amount a surface, center plane, or axis is permitted to vary from its specified angle.

Angularity applications
Angularity applied to a surface. Angularity applied to a cylindrical FOS.

Interpretations
Tolerance zone two parallel planes that are perpendicular to the datum plane.

Distance between tolerance plane specified tolerance value.

Important criteria all elements of the surface must be within the tolerance zone. Tolerance zone is oriented relative to the datum plane by a basic angle. Angularity tolerance zone limits the flatness of toleranced feature

Parallelism Control
Parallelism is the condition of a surface, center plane, or axis being exactly parallel to the datum. An parallelism control is a geometric tolerance that limits the amount a surface, center plane, or axis is permitted to vary from being parallel to the datum.

Parallelism Applications
Parallelism applied to a surface. Parallelism applied to a cylindrical FOS.

Parallelism Tolerance Zones
