Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing : Applications, Analysis, Gauging & Measurement (per ASME Y14.5-2018)

This textbook reflects new symbology, rules and basic principle revisions that are contained in ASME Y14.5-  2018. It shows how to interpret design drawings and CAD representations of product definitions that use the ASME Y14.5-  2018 standard. It also explains step-  by-  step procedures to apply the new Y14.5-  2018 practices and allows dimensioning and tolerancing professionals to express their design requirements more clearly. The results are that: requirements are more specific in conveying functional tolerancing needs, products can be more easily manufactured, and appropriate inspection techniques are clarified.

This is one of the most comprehensive GD&T textbooks ever written by a single author. Some of the concepts covered in this text are:
 

• All of the new symbols, rules and principles instituted by the ASME Y14.5 - 2009 Standard
• Basic GD&T
• Advanced GD&T
• Tolerance Stack-  Up Analysis
• Statistical Tolerancing
• Inspection Techniques and Sources of Measurement Uncertainty
• Gage and Fixture Design
• Tolerancing Mating Parts and Assemblies
• Analyzing and Correcting Interferences, Imbalance in Rotating Parts and Material Strength Problems due to Insufficient Wall Thickness
