The value of the measured dimension.
If MEA03 is present, then MEA05 or MEA06 is required.
Code identifying the basic unit measurement.
The value specifying the minimum of the measurement range.
When citing dimensional tolerances, any measurement requiring a sign (+ or -), or any measurement where a positive (+) value cannot be assumed use MEA05 as the negative (-) value and MEA06 as the positive (+) value.
The value specifying the maximum of the measurement range.
