1‑page summary: General Tolerances — ISO 2768‑m (medium/ks)
Scope
ISO 2768‑1 defines general tolerances for linear and angular dimensions on drawings when no specific tolerance is given. "m" = medium tolerance class; "k" = coarse for form and position? — ISO 2768 uses two parts: Part 1 (general tolerances — linear/angular) with tolerance classes f (fine), m (medium), c (coarse), v (very coarse); Part 2 (geometrical tolerances — form and position) with symbols for tolerances (no separate k). Here “mk” likely means linear class m and unspecified geometric class (commonly k is not part of ISO 2768 — confirm in standard). ISO 2768-1:1989 – General tolerances for linear and
What is ISO 2768?
ISO 2768 is an international standard for general tolerances. It is designed for parts where dimensional accuracy is not critical enough to warrant an individual tolerance on every single feature. v (very coarse)
m (Medium): Governed by ISO 2768-1, this defines permissible deviations for linear and angular dimensions, such as lengths, radii, and chamfers.
ISO 2768-1 stands for the general tolerances for linear and angular dimensions without individual tolerance indications, ISO 2768-
