In mechanical engineering, tolerance is the limit of how far a true measurement can change from what's planned. It is done to achieve proper functionality and to ensure that the final product is worth using. It is difficult to create tolerance and it is only measured by the experts.

There are two major tolerances:

  1. Physical measurement (dimensions)
  2. Attribute (time, temperature, sound level).
