dimensionerade

Dimensionerade is a Swedish adjective meaning provided with specified dimensions. It stems from dimensionera, to dimension or size. In technical contexts, dimensionerade describes parts, drawings, or products that have predetermined measurements. The term is common in engineering, construction, and manufacturing in Sweden and among Swedish-speaking professionals.

In practice, dimensionerade drawings, or dimensionerade ritningar, show dimension lines and numerical values for lengths, widths, heights, diameters, radii, hole patterns, and thread sizes. Such drawings ensure accurate manufacturing and assembly by communicating exact sizes and locations needed for proper fit and function. Dimensionerade components are those that have been sized and specified to meet design requirements.

The dimensionering process involves selecting appropriate sizes based on functional needs, loads, materials, manufacturing capabilities, and tolerances. It includes tolerance analysis, choosing fit types (clearance, transition, interference), and applying relevant standards. Modern workflows often use CAD systems that embed dimensionering data directly into digital models, enabling automatic generation of drawings and bill of materials.

Related terms include dimensionera, dimensioner (dimensions), ritning (drawing), tolerans (tolerance), and passning (fit). The concept of dimensionerade emphasizes that the object or drawing is defined by precise measurements, which is essential for interoperability in design, production, and quality control.
