slutlængde

Slutlængde is a Danish noun used in technical, manufacturing, and construction contexts to denote the final length of an object after processing or finishing. The term is formed from slut, meaning “end” or “final,” and længde, meaning “length.”

In practice, slutlængde refers to the target measurement a part must reach after operations such as cutting, trimming, machining, or assembling. It is specified in product drawings, work orders, and quality-control documentation, and serves as a basis for determining whether a piece conforms to requirements.

Measurement and tolerances are central to the concept. The actual length of a part is measured with appropriate instruments (for example, calipers, micrometers, or length gauges), and deviations from the slutlængde are evaluated against permitted tolerances. Production processes are adjusted to achieve the desired slutlængde, ensuring consistency across batches.

Usage varies by industry and region. While slutlængde is common in Danish technical language, some contexts may prefer alternatives such as endelig længde or final length. It remains a practical term for communicating the intended end dimension of a component within specifications and quality assurance.
