Datum (English spelling)

Japanese: データム(英語表記)datum
Datum (English spelling)
Datum is the singular form of data, and also refers to a reference surface (line, point) in surveying, or a reference used to determine position. In machinery, it takes on this latter meaning, and when indicating the attitude tolerance or position tolerance of a related feature on a drawing, a datum is a theoretically accurate, ideal geometric reference set to regulate the tolerance range. When the reference is a point, line, or plane, it is called a datum point, datum line, or datum plane, respectively. In an actual machined mechanical part, this is a feature that realizes a datum, so it is called a datum feature.

Japanese:
datumはデータdataの単数形であり,また測量における基準面(線,点),位置の決定に用いる基準をいう。機械においてはこの後者の意味を受け,関連する形体の姿勢公差や位置公差などを図面で指示するとき,その公差域を規制するために設定した理論的に正確である理想的な幾何学的基準をデータムという。その基準が点,直線,平面であるとき,それぞれデータム点,データム直線,データム平面と呼ぶ。これが実際に加工された機械部品では,データムを実現した形体なのでデータム形体と呼ばれる。
