2017 Honda Ridgeline. The Honda Ridgeline is a unique pickup that employs car-like unibody construction in place of the rugged but unrefined body-on-frame setup that underpins its competitors. As a result, the Ridgeline provides a more comfortable ride and better handling than most pickups while still offering decent towing and hauling capabilities.
The flatness tolerance references two parallel planes (parallel to the surface that it is called out on) that define a zone where the entire reference surface must lie. Flatness tolerance is always less than the dimensional tolerance associated with it. Tolerance Zone: Two Sets of Parallel Planes where the entire referenced surface must lie. Gauging / Measurement: Flatness is can be measured using a height gauge run across the surface of the part if only the reference feature is held parallel.
When the longer dimension is from 36to 72, the flatness variation should not exceed 75 percent of the amount shown for the specified width; but in no case less than 1/4. Margins will usually increase the maximum deviation, please consult your IPA member supplier.
