Tolerances

Plastics

TOLERANCES FOR
PLASTICS 
ACCORDING
TO DIN 16901
Deviations from the nominal dimensions are unavoidable in the manufacture of plastic shapes.

There are various reasons for the deviations:
a) Processing parameters. These are dependent on:
   • the evenness of the shape
   • the setting of the machine
   • the temperature of the tools
   • the distortion of the tool under pressure
b) The condition of the tool:
   • manufacturing tolerances for tool dimensions (see DIN 16749)
   • wear on tools
   • deviations in the position of movable tool parts.


The tolerances for this norm have been laid down taking into account these factors and numerous measurements in practice.

The plastics in this norm are divided into tolerance rows. All the plastics used by Rose+Bopla for standard enclosures are in row 130, for which tolerances given below apply. The tolerances apply on the basis of the machining shrinkage working into the tool only for the appropriate enclosure with the standard material stated.

A = Dimensions which are not tool specific are those formed by the interaction of movable tool parts, e.g. wall thicknesses and floor thicknesses or dimensions which are affected by additives or pushers.
B = Tool-specific dimensions are those in the same part of the tool.
