P1: Describe the different types of fits. There are many types of different fits in engineering. Listed below are the 3 main fits in engineering such as Clearance Fit, Interference Fit and Transition Fit which would be used day to day.
Engineering fits are generally used for parts of assembly. The term ‘Fit’ is the clearance between two merging parts, and the size of the clearance, suggest whether the parts can move independently from each other or even potentially temporally joined.
Clearance Fit:
A clearance fit is a hole which is greater than the shaft, which makes two parts to slide in and out and rotate when assembled together. In a clearance fit, the greatest shaft diameter is smaller than the diameter of the smallest hole. Which means …show more content…
You need the standard measurement to produce a component for the customer. The customer would usually provide to you so that they get what they are looking for. They would normally provide you with the length, height ,width ,weight and depth so the vendor gets an idea of what they are looking to create either when programming or when checking the measurements against a drawing when on a machine operating

There are six guiding principles you should always aim for when wanted good measurement results .
1 The right measurement- Measurements should only be produced to satisfy agreed and well specified requirements.
2 The right tools- Measurements should be made using equipment’s and methods that have been demonstrated by other people and to be fit for the component created.
3 The right people- Measurement staff should be competent, properly qualified and well informed as if they weren’t qualified there could be human error and wrong measurements made.
4 Regular Review- They undergo both internal and independent assessment of the technical performance of all measurement facilities and procedures.
5 Demonstrable Consistency- Measurements produced in one location should be consistent with those made elsewhere in the workshop and across
