Can’t believe most inspectors and especially engineers don’t know this!
On a hole diameter MMC = Actual measured hole size minus the smallest allowable size which is the MMC condition… max material.
So for TP .5 on a 10.0 +/- .5 hole that measures 10.1
You get .6 Bonus (actual size 10.1 minus the smallest size 9.5 = .6) this .6 extra tolerance is then added to the given .5 TP tolerance for a grand total of 1.1 tolerance.
For a solid pin or outside cylinder it’s outside diameter, same concept. Largest allowable size minus the actual = Bonus Tolerance.
BONUS TOLERANCE =
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MMC SIZE AND ACTUAL SIZE! ADDED TO GIVEN TP TOLERANCE IN THE FEATURE CONTROL FRAME.
Slightly off topic, but still along the lines of engineers not knowing something...
We have a customer who sent us a print with rather tight GD&T for the nature of the part. After discussions with them, their design engineer flat out stated, "I really don't know too much about GD&T."
