Limits and Fits Calculator (ISO 286 Logic)

Calculate hole and shaft fits with deterministic ISO 286 logic. ANSI/ASME B4.1 is available as guidance mode.

Who it's for

  • Mechanical engineers defining fit classes
  • Manufacturing engineers checking machinability
  • Quality engineers validating target clearances

What it solves

Spreadsheet fit logic becomes fragile over time, making review and repeatability difficult across projects.

Validation basis: Deterministic ISO 286 calculations with ANSI/ASME B4.1 guidance mode

How it works

  1. 01Select fit inputs for hole and shaft pairs.
  2. 02Run deterministic ISO 286 table calculations.
  3. 03Review limits, fit class, and recommendation details.
  4. 04Save results for documentation and procurement handoff.

Outputs and exports

  • Structured fit result output
  • Calculated upper/lower limit values
  • Saved result snapshots

Limitations and scope

  • Deterministic only (no AI decision layer).
  • ISO 286 is the direct calculation path.
  • ANSI/ASME B4.1 runs in guidance mode, not a licensed table lookup.
  • Does not replace application-specific compliance review.

Accuracy and scope notice

DatumPilot provides engineering decision support. It is not a metrology certification body and does not replace professional engineering judgment, drawing authority, or required quality controls.
