ISO 286 defines a system of tolerances for holes and shafts, based on IT grades and fundamental deviations. These tolerances help ensure proper fit between parts in manufacturing processes.
An IT (International Tolerance) grade defines the allowed variation in dimension. Lower IT numbers represent tighter tolerances.
📏 ISO Tolerance Grades (IT5–IT16)
The table below lists tolerance widths (in microns) for selected nominal size ranges and IT grades.
