ISO 2768-mK is an international standard that provides a simplified system of for linear and geometrical dimensions. Instead of manually labeling every single dimension on a complex drawing, engineers use this shorthand to define acceptable levels of precision for all non-critical features.
It provides a universal language between designers and manufacturers worldwide, ensuring that a part made in Germany fits a part made in the USA. When NOT to use it general tolerance iso 2768-mk
Choosing the correct tolerance class is a critical design decision that directly impacts manufacturing cost and feasibility.
If a technical drawing states "ISO 2768-mK", it means all dimensions without specific tolerances must adhere to these "medium" linear and "K" geometric specifications.
(ISO 2768-2), which covers geometric tolerances such as straightness, flatness, and symmetry. The "K" is one of three precision classes (H, K, and L). ISO 2768-m: Linear and Angular Dimensions | Feature | Permissible Deviation (mm) | |
In mechanical engineering and manufacturing, specifying precise dimensions for every single feature on a technical drawing is highly inefficient. To streamline the design-to-manufacturing pipeline, engineers rely on general tolerance standards.

Tighter tolerances (like ISO 2768-f) can be 2 to 2.5 times harder and more expensive to machine. The "mK" class offers a sweet spot between precision and production speed.
