Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing for Mechanical Design, 3rd Edition

A fully updated guide to geometric dimensioning and tolerancing
 
This thoroughly revised engineering textbook teaches the principles and practices of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing in a straightforward, easy-to-follow manner. Written in accordance with the latest revision to the GD&T standard, ASME Y14.5-2018, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing for Mechanical Design, Third Edition shows, step by step, how to improve quality, lower cost, and shorten delivery times. You will get clear definitions along with detailed discussions on how each geometric control is specified, interpreted, and inspected. Detailed drawings and examples illustrate each concept.
 
Up-to-date coverage includes:

• Dimensioning and tolerancing fundamentals
• Symbols, terms, and rules
• Datums
• Form—flatness, straightness, circularity and cylindricity
• Orientation—perpendicularity, parallelism, and angularity
• Position—general functions and location applications
• Coaxiality
• Runout
• Profile
• Strategy for tolerancing parts
• Graphic analysis
• And more
