А quantitative estimate of uncertainty of the random scattering of the average clearance and interference in mating by N. N. Chigrik

“…Using the assembly method proposed with the initial reduction of real clearances and interferences in the mating by means of narrowing the tolerances of the actual dimensions to the tolerance of the shape of real surfaces in diametric terms within the random dispersion of the average size relative to the upper and lower acceptance boundaries allows to ensure the receipt on the assembly of an equal number of parts is achieved, including in the tested batches of parts with a breakdown of the tolerances of the actual dimensions into an equal number of dimensional groups.…”
