Form
| Symbol | Name | Datum | Description |
| ⏤ |
Straightness |
- |
Deviation of an edge / axis from an ideal straight line. |
| ⏥ |
Flatness |
- |
Deviation of a surface from an ideal plane. |
| ○ |
Roundness |
- |
Deviation of a circular line from the ideal circle. |
| ⌭ |
Cylindricity |
- |
Combination of roundness, straightness of the axis and generator line. |
| ⌒ |
Line profile |
- |
Deviation of a line from the target profile. |
| ⌓ |
Surface profile |
- |
Deviation of a surface from the target profile. |
Direction
| Symbol | Name | Datum | Description |
| ∥ |
Parallelism |
yes |
Position of an axis/surface parallel to the datum. |
| ⊥ |
Perpendicularity |
yes |
Position of an axis/surface at a 90° angle to the datum. |
| ∠ |
Slope |
yes |
Position at a defined angle ≠ 90° to the datum. |
Ort
| Symbol | Name | Datum | Description |
| ⌖ |
position |
yes |
True position of a feature (possible with MMC/LMC). |
| ◎ |
Concentricity |
yes |
Axis within the tolerance zone around the datum axis. |
| ⌯ |
Symmetry |
yes |
Middle element lies symmetric to the datum. |
Run
| Symbol | Name | Datum | Description |
| ↗ |
runout |
yes |
Runout of a single point when rotating about the reference axis. |
| ⌰ |
Total runout |
yes |
Runout across the entire cylindrical/face surface. |
Modifier
| Symbol | Name | Datum | Description |
| Ⓜ |
MMC |
- |
Maximum Material Condition - largest size with bonus tolerance. |
| Ⓛ |
LMC |
- |
Least Material Condition - smallest size with bonus tolerance. |
| Ⓟ |
Projected tol. |
- |
Tolerance zone projected beyond the workpiece. |
| Ⓕ |
Free state |
- |
Measurement in the unclamped state. |
Datum = tolerance is measured against a datum feature (datum). MMC/LMC modifiers allow bonus tolerance.
Note: all cutting and material values are guide values. The tool or machine manufacturer's recommendations are decisive.
The calculator also runs in the workshop without a connection:
