Good Morning, All --
We've been having a discussion at work about the proper interpretation of a flatness specification on a French interface control drawing. The surface in question is a flat ring, roughly 1250 millimeter ID x 1300 millimeter OD; the overall flatness requirement is 0.3 millimeter (we understand that part), with a supplemental localized requirement " .03/10 ", and that's where our question is. Does the local requirement 1) mean the same as " .03 / 10x10 ", capping the planarity error of an implicit 10 millimeter x 10 millimeter square area, anywhere on the surface, 2) cap the out-of-plane profile error of any 10 millimeter long should-be-straight line on the surface, or 3) mean something else?
Thanks,
John
