What Do You Call This in English? (Technical Drawing)

If there is 3 holes with diameter of 10 mm, in the technical drawing it should be written as 3 × ⌀10 mm.

What do you call/say the "3 × ⌀10 mm" in English?

Thank you

So long as its clear to understand, could use 3 x ⌀10, 3 x 10⌀ as your dwg is metric. I did not look for technical standards.

 

Some one else ?

3X Ø10 is usually the way you see it. The Diameter Symbol should go in front of the hole size in case a tolerance is needed behind it.

 

If you mean as it would be spoken out, ten millimeter diameter holes in three places.

 

From GDT manual examples.

I answered that as well. Same as the written out.

 

Ten millimeter diameter holes in three places.

 

Edit: changed 3 to three and 10 to ten and mm to millimeter.

It's a tolerance value.  Tolerance is the total amount a dimension may vary and is the difference between the upper (maximum) and lower (minimum) limits.

upper maximum and lower minimum diameter limits.

Or

0.624 diameter with  + - 0.001 tolerance. Sounds like an imperial size with a one, one  thousands of an inch tolerance. 1 / 1000.
