Basic Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing

Description:

Industry uses GD&T to specify contractual requirements. Unfortunately, many people within industry have a flawed or incomplete understanding of the subject. Our basic course builds competence to correctly apply and interpret the rules, definitions, principles, and symbols per the American National Standard, ASME Y14.5 - 2018, in only two days! This course provides a common language to improve communication, so set-up requirements and tolerance zones are clearly understood by all.

Just think, if you fixed communication in your company, how many of your problems would go away overnight?

Course Outline:
  • Getting Ready for Meaningful Conversations
  • From Nine Chapters to Twelve
  • Dimensions, Tolerances and GD&T
  • Datum Features and Datum Schemes
  • Form Tolerances
  • Orientation Tolerances
  • Location Tolerances
  • Profile Tolerances
  • Runout Tolerances
  • A Business Case for GD&T
Key Course Objectives:
  • Master operationally definite meaning from ASME Y14.5 - 2018
  • As necessary reach back to ASME Y14.5 - 2009 and ASME Y14.5M - 1994
  • Interpret tolerance zones for specified feature control frames
  • Interpret and simulate specified datum reference frames
  • Describe the shape, size and location of tolerance zones
  • Calculate feature size requirements given specified tolerances
