nounpl: absolute tolerances
tolerância absoluta
1. The maximum permissible deviation from a specified dimension or value in engineering and manufacturing, expressed as a fixed amount rather than a percentage.
The absolute tolerance for this component is ±0.5 millimeters, regardless of the base dimension.
A tolerância absoluta para este componente é ±0,5 milímetros, independentemente da dimensão básica.
2. In metrology and quality control, a specified limit of error that applies uniformly to all measurements.
We need to maintain an absolute tolerance of ±2 degrees Celsius for accurate calibration.
Precisamos manter uma tolerância absoluta de ±2 graus Celsius para calibração precisa.
3. In mathematics and numerical analysis, the maximum allowable error in a computed or measured value expressed as a fixed quantity.
The algorithm must converge within an absolute tolerance of 10^-6.
O algoritmo deve convergir dentro de uma tolerância absoluta de 10^-6.
This is primarily a technical term used in engineering, manufacturing, and quality control industries in both Brazil and the USA. It is fundamental to ISO standards and GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) specifications used internationally. The term is essential in automotive, aerospace, and precision manufacturing sectors where Brazilian and American companies collaborate on quality specifications.
