A.F.B.M.A.* GRADE TOLERANCES AND TERMINOLOGY.
GRADE TOLERANCE CHART
Basic diameter: The size ordered which is the basis to which the basic diameter tolerances apply. The basic diameter is specified by a fraction plus a decimal or a decimal only to the sixth place. (example: 1/4'' + .0002'' or .2502'' - 15/64'' +
.0003'' or .234675'').
Basic diameter tolerance: The maximum allowable deviation of any ball diameter from the basic diameter, in any shipments to fill orders for that basic diameter.
Diameter tolerance per ball: The permissible difference between the largest diameter and the smallest diameter measurable on one ball.
Diameter tolerance per unit container: The permissible range of the average diameters of the individuals balls within any one unit container.
Grade: The numerical value of the diameter tolerance per ball expressed in a millionth of an inch.
Marking Increments: The standard unit steps in a millionth of an inch used to express the specific diameter.
Some materials prevent us from obtaining a better result of tolerance than those obtained at level 10. On the other hand, some materials, mainly ceramics, make it possible to obtain dimensions with a level 4 or 5 , RA is then higher than in the above table.
