Formula

diametral deviation=2 √(Δx²+Δy²).
  • Use the units shown beside each field.
  • Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
  • Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
  • Basic coordinate deviation only. Datum fitting, MMC/LMC bonus, form error and inspection uncertainty are not evaluated.

Example Calculation

Example inputs
  • Nominal x: 10 mm
  • Nominal y: 20 mm
  • Measured x: 10.03 mm
  • Measured y: 20.04 mm

Nominal x = 10 mm; Nominal y = 20 mm; Measured x = 10.03 mm; Measured y = 20.04 mm. Primary result: 0.1.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use this calculator?

Enter nominal x, nominal y, measured x, measured y. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.

What method does it use?

diametral deviation=2 √(Δx²+Δy²).. Basic coordinate deviation only. Datum fitting, MMC/LMC bonus, form error and inspection uncertainty are not evaluated.

Why might a rounded result differ?

The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.

Are my inputs saved online?

No. This calculator processes your inputs in your browser. A recently used list stores only calculator names on this device, not your entered values.
