INTRODUCTION
Terms used in this manual
Nominal
means the rated (design) size or magnitude of a part to be measured.
Standard

tolerance. Therefore, the values shown are not in agreement with the design values.
Limit
means that, if this value is reached, the part must be repaired or replaced with a new part.
