The Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) has developed tolerance tables with ranges to provide communication between user and provider across a wide range of industries. These are helpful when designing and producing a part. You can also consult the RMA article on factors affecting tolerances of molded rubber products.

- It was released from Texas A&M University in 1996. 'Diamond' is distinguished from other zoysiagrasses by its fine texture and excellent salt and shade tolerance. It performs best when mowed at a height of ½ inch or less. In fact, 'Diamond' has been planted on several experimental golf greens mowed at ¼ inch or lower.
- Transcribed image text: Instructions: 1- Complete the following table and calculate the geometric flatness tolerance Draw the NECESSARY views here: Apply flatness tolerances for six surfaces of your part. 2- Draw the necessary views and show flatness geometric tolerance according to ASME Y14.5M2009 for all of the surfaces Set up dial gauge at Zero for each face before starting Face Face2 Facel.
