Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Textbook and Workbook

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Textbook and Workbook (per ASME Y14.5-2018). This book is a comprehensive textbook and workbook combined. It is the perfect learning tool for universities, companies and individuals. It covers the all major concepts of dimensioning and tolerancing and provides worksheets to gage the reader s level of understanding. It also shows the differences between the Y14.5-1994, Y14.5-2009 and the Y14.5-2018 revisions of the ASME Dimensioning and Tolerancing standards. This book shows new symbology, rules and the principles in ASME Y14.5-2018. It details how to interpret design drawings and CAD representations of product definitions that use the ASME Y14.5 standard. It also explains procedures to apply the Y14.5-2018 practices and allows dimensioning and tolerancing professionals to express their design requirements more clearly. The results are that: requirements are clearer in conveying functional needs, products can be more easily manufactured, and appropriately inspected. It also contains over 300 workbook basic and advanced questions and applications problems to be worked through by individuals or teams. This is a textbook/workbook on GD&T that shows not only how to interpret and apply the concepts, but also conveys the logic and philosophy critical to understand in order to design, dimension and tolerance products optimally. Just a few of the topics covered include: Why Use GD&T?, Symbols, Rules, Charts, Selecting a Tolerancing Approach, Datum Features, Datums, Datum Feature Simulators, Boundaries, MMC, LMC & RFS, MMB, LMB & RMB, Form, Orientation, Profile, Dynamic Profile, Runout and Location, Oddly Configured Datum Features, Center plane Datums, Position with Fixed Fastener Assemblies, Projected Tolerance Zones, Floating Fastener Assemblies, Datum Targets, Flexible Parts, Plastic Parts, Sheet Metal Parts, Restrained vs. Free State Measurements, Datum Feature Scheme Choices, Positional Boundary Concept, Composite vs. Two and Three Single Segment Positional and Profile Tolerancing, Design, Dimensioning and Tolerancing of Gages, Tolerance Stack-Up Analysis, How to Write a Measurement Plan, How to be Specific in Calculating and Specifying Statistical Tolerances, How to Read and Write GD&T, How to Analyze and Correct Undesirable Interferences and How to Calculate Material Strength/Wall Thickness .
