Form Tolerances

Form
Form tolerances are used to control the surface
deviation of single features or elements of single
features.
The following symbols are used to specify the form
control desired and require no datum reference.

Roundness
A Tolerance of Form

Roundness is a condition of a surface of

revolution where:
On a cylinder or cone, all points of the
surface intersected by a plane perpendicular
to a common axis are contained within a
tolerance zone bounded by two concentric
circles.
On a sphere, all points of the surface
intersected by a plane passing through a
common center are contained within a
tolerance zone bounded by two concentric
circles.
