Limits and fits
Encyclopedia
In mechanical engineering
, limits and fits are a set of rules how many thousandths of an inch a part's measurement is to be under or over the theoretical size to achieve various sorts of fit (sliding fit, rotating fit, non-sliding fit, loose fit, etc.)
Mechanical engineering
Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the...
