This question has been Answered.

Greetings all

Can someone please tell me what the mK means? Right now I am assuming the "m"
stands for medium, and I have no idea on the "K"

Thanks in advance

ISO 2768-mK

Doug, there are 2 parts to ISO 2768. -1 and -2. -1 refers to tolerances for linear and
angular dimensuons without tolerance indications and -2 refers to geometric
tolerances for features with individual tolerance indiscations.

So, in -2 you'll see that K is a tolerance class

Re: ISO 2768-mK

Dear Steve ,

if on a technical drawing it is specified ISO 2768 mK , where should I look for

knowing the tolerances ? In ISO 2768-1 m class or in ISO 2768-2 K class ?

ISO 2768-mK

Doug,

Just to add to what Steve has already mentioned:

ISO 2768-1 General Tolerances (linear & angular) has three charts, Linear, Broken
Edge & Angular. Each chart is divided in four classes of tolerances as follows:
f = fine
m = medium
c = coarse
v = very coarse

The tolerance designation is determined by various items, such as size, complexity &
means of manufacture of your parts.

ISO 2768-2 General Tolerances (geometric) has four charts, Straightness & Flatness,
Perpendicularity, Symmetry and Circular Run-out. Each chart is divided into three
classes of tolerances as follows: H, K and L. They are not literally defined in the
specification, although I believe all letters from this specification are derived from Fit
Tolerancing Charts ISO 286.

On our metric drawings we specify ISO 2768-m K

Thanks Steve and Eddie

Thanks for the info. It is starting to become a little clearer as to what impact this
standard has on the way we manufacture I would hate for us to have our work
rejected because we chose to ignore the tolerances
