Profile geometric tolerancescontrol the form, orientation, and/or location of straight lines or surfaces, arcs, and irregular curves. Profile TolerancesProfile can be characterized as the outline of an object represented either by an external view or a cross section through the object. The true profile or actual desired shape of the object is the basis of the profile tolerance. The true profile is defined by basic dimensions. The profile tolerance specifies a uniform boundary along the true profile within which the elements of the surface must lie. Profile can be used to control form or combinations of size, form, and orientation. When usedas a refinement of size, the profile tolerance must be contained within the size tolerance. Profile geometric tolerances are always regardless of feature size. Datum reference can be applied with boundary conditions (RMB, LMB, MMB) if the datum feature is a feature of size. 315
