However a Datum Feature is fully based on a tangible surface, axis or point on a part where that theoretical datum is located.
The reason behind in this is they are not equal to each other because the 'part surface' is never 100% perfect.
The important functional features of the Datum is controlled during measurements.
Answer: hardness
Explanation:
Hardness is a measure of a material's ability to resist plastic deformation. In other words, it is a measure of how resistant material is to denting or scratching. Diamond, for example, is a very hard material. It is extremely difficult to dent or scratch a diamond. In contrast, it is very easy to scratch or dent most plastics.
