                    Machined Ceramic For parts made of technical ceramics for 
                    machine construction applications, the tolerances mentioned 
                    above for functional surfaces are often inadequate for the 
                    user's needs. For this reason, tolerances for ceramic parts 
                    in accordance with  DIN ISO 2768-m-K  are quoted. These can be achieved through 
                    hard machining.  Drawing specifications  Dimensional tolerances that do not correspond 
                    to the general tolerances according to this standard are to 
                    be listed according to DIN 40 680-1 and -2 as tolerances or 
                    as ISO tolerance zones, directly stating the appropriate nominal 
                    dimension.
 General tolerances with symmetrical dimensions with accuracy 
                    grades "medium" and "coarse" according 
                    to tables 29 and 30 are not added directly to the nominal 
                    dimensions. Instead, the following entries are made in the 
                    title block:
  
                    
                       DIN 40 680-A-m orDIN 40 680-A-g.
  If several ceramic parts are shown on a 
                    single drawing, and if those parts are produced using different 
                    processes and therefore possess general tolerances with different 
                    grades of precision as specified by DIN 40 680-1, then the 
                    coarsest precision grade is entered into the title block. 
                    The tolerances with the finer precision grade are then added 
                    to the corresponding nominal dimension. It can happen that for reasons of function, or for reasons 
                    concerned with production techniques, either only positive 
                    or only negative tolerance dimensions can be shown, but that 
                    the tolerance range is nevertheless intended to correspond 
                    to one of the particular precision grades in the general tolerances 
                    according to tables 29/30. In such cases, the figure for the 
                    associated general tolerance is doubled where the relevant 
                    nominal dimension is stated, and simply given an arithmetic 
                    sign. These tolerances, however, are not considered general 
                    tolerances, and are thus added to the corresponding nominal 
                    dimension rather than being entered into the title block.
 Since the general tolerances for the "fine" accuracy 
                    grade are not fixed, either the tolerance agreed between the 
                    user and the manufacturer or the ISO tolerances are always 
                    added after the nominal dimension.
 For further details, see DIN 40 680-1.
