For H7, the starting point is at exactly 25.000 mm.

The letter signifies the start of the tolerance zone. Looking at the IT7 tolerance grade, the chart gives an allowed variance of 0.021 mm. So if we have a hole with a nominal size of 25 mm and a tolerance class of H7, we will fit into the 18…30 mm basic size group. A tolerance class determines a range of values the final measurement can vary from the base measurement.įrom the table, we can see that the tolerance grade applies to a range of basic sizes. The number shows the international tolerance grade (ISO 286). When indicating tolerance for a shaft, the letter will be lowercase. The capital letter signifies that we are dealing with a hole. With engineering fits, the tolerance will always be shown in an alpha-numeric code.
