Root attachments of rotating blades of a turbine or a compressor often have multiple lobes. These lobes fit into a matching groove in a rotating disk. Dimension of these lobes, in general, will not be identical for each blade. However, these dimensions will be within manufacturing tolerance. The resulting dimensional fit becomes random in statistical sense within the specified tolerance. Thus precise dimension is unknown even if it is assured to be within the specified tolerance band.
