ELEMENTS OF GEOMETRIC DIMENSIONING AND TOLERANCING

by

E.A. Lehtihet, Ph.D.

  • COURSE OBJECTIVE

    • This introductory course in Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) provides the basic elements required to define and apply industry accepted design / engineering specifications. The course focuses on using the Standard to improve communication among design, manufacturing and inspection.


  • WHAT WILL YOU GAIN ?

    • Understand the rationale behind the use of ASME Y14.5M-1994.
    • Learn the basic symbology and rules of ASME Y14.5M-1994.
    • Apply the symbology to the specifications of the major geometric tolerance groups.
    • Understand the selection and specification of datums.
    • Take advantage of "bonus" tolerance.
    • Understand some of the manufacturing and inspection implications.
    • Increase productivity and decrease errors by eliminating lengthy written instructions.


  • WHO SHOULD ATTEND ?

    • This course is designed primarily for those with no prior experience with ASME Y14.5M-1994 Dimensioning and Tolerancing Standard, but will also be helpful to those who would like to improve their understanding of the subject. Key personnel who may benefit from this course include designers, drafters, manufacturing engineers, process planners, mechinists, fuse and die makers, quality control personnel, purchasing, and concurrent engineering managers.


  • WHAT ARE THE PREREQUISITES ?

    • No specific knowledge of ASME Y14.5M-1994 Dimensioning and Tolerancing Standard or fluency with Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing is required prior to this course.


  • COURSE MATERIAL AND DURATION

    • Course material for the introductory module is typically selected from the body of material shown in the Elements of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Course Outline and customized in breadth, depth, and duration to suit the participant or company needs.
