M Maximum Material Condition .000 M A B C .250 .000
L Least Material Condition Inch drawing .251 .001

S Regardless of Feature Size .000 is a starting point when the hole .265 .015
P Projected Tol. Zone size is at MMC(.250). As the hole size
increases, the tol. zone also increases.
T Tangent Plane 2X .255 - .260 The upper tol. zone

ST Statistical Tolerance .005 M A

R Radius locates the holes tightly
CR Controlled Radius to each other and tightly
SR Spherical Radius to the datum(s) for orient-
ation only; in this case
S Spherical Diameter perpendicularity.

4X .250 -.265 Shown below on the left the datum
A B Between is .990 (MMC). When the datum is
B M
X "BY"(2 X 4 ) .000 M A
at MMC it gets no bonus tolerance,
Depth and so the pattern of holes as group must
B be on the absolute center of the datum.
Conical Taper Below on the right, the datum is .998, .008
1.000
Slope larger than MMC. This gives the datum a
.990 .008 bonus tolerance, which permits the
All Around pattern of holes as a group to be off
center of the datum by .004.
