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
