TG5 occupies the central range of the tolerance groups, balancing cost and precision. It corresponds to a point score of in the standard's classification system. The table below lists the nominal tolerance values for tool-bound dimensions:
) provides a systematic framework for determining achievable tolerances in plastic injection molding. Tolerance Group 5 (TG5) din 16742 - tg5
: Using TG5 allows engineers to define acceptable variations without having to specify tolerances for every single dimension on a drawing, simplifying the design process and setting clear expectations with manufacturers. TG5 occupies the central range of the tolerance
