Flatness and parallelism which have relations and differences between them are two important subjects in shape-position
tolerance theory. It is necessary to be discussed in detail through analysis, research, comparing and summarizing as they
are widely used in industry whereas their concepts are easily be confused. This paper carries on the comparison based on
the following aspects. (1) Definitions of tolerance zone. (2) Tolerance category, Marking methods and tolerance values.
(3) Measuring methods. (4) Examples. For a object with given flatness and parallelism tolerance, the similarities and
differences are analyzed and compared in the views of shape,size,direction and position etc. It would be useful
references to personals in engineering, technology and other relevant fields.
