Calculate worst-case and RSS tolerance stack for linear dimension chains. Free tolerance stack up tool for tolerance, stack, and more.
Convert between Ra and Rz surface roughness parameters. Free surface roughness ra rz tool for surface, roughness, and more.
Evaluate cylindricity from peak and valley radial measurements. Free cylindricity tolerance tool for cylindricity, tolerance, and more.
This tool applies a standard formula from the relevant domain. The computation is deterministic — given the same inputs, the result is always identical. The formula accounts for the primary variables that determine the output.

Check the expected unit for each input field (shown as suffix). Converting between imperial and metric units before entering values prevents calculation errors.
Ensure denominator values (divisors) are non-zero. The calculator validates this, but understanding which fields cannot be zero helps interpret results correctly.
Convert between Ra in μm and RMS microinches for surface finish specs. Free surface finish conversion tool for surface, finish, and more. It applies the calculation formula (Ra (μm) ≈ 4000 / RMS μin (approx.)). For example: ra 0.8 μm (n4 finish) — A typical use case demonstrating the calculator with representative values.
