Design Dimensioning and Tolerancing is written for postsecondary and industrial programs that require a study of dimensioning and tolerancing as related to design. Topics range from the fundamentals of dimensioning to extended principles of tolerance application. Illustrations and color reinforced and clarify information. Includes expanded explanations of information presented by the ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard.
Geometrical tolerancing is used to specify and control the form, location and orientation of the features of components and manufactured parts. This book presents the state of the art of geometrical tolerancing, covers the latest ISO and ANSI/ASME standards and is a comprehensive reference and guide for all professional engineers, designers, CAD users, quality managers and anyone involved in the creation or interpretation of CAD plans or engineering designs and specifications. For all design and manufacturing engineers working with these internationally required design standards Covers ISO and ANSI geometrical tolerance standards, including the 2005 revisions to the ISO standard Geometrical tolerancing is used in the preparation and interpretation of the design for any manufactured component or item: essential information for designers, engineers and CAD professionals
This book tries to capture the major topics that fall under the umbrella of "Variation Management." The book is laid out so that the reader can easily understand the variation management process and how each chapter maps to this process. This book has two purposes. It is a "one-step" resource for people who want to know everything about dimensional management and variation management. It is a useful reference for specific target audiences within the variation management process. This book includes many new techniques, methodologies, and examples that have never been published before. Much of the new material revolves around Six Sigma techniques that have evolved within the past 5 years. This book offers high level information and expertise to a broad spectrum of readers, while providing detailed information for those needing specific information. The contributors are practitioners who have hands-on experience. Much of the expertise in this book is a result of identifying needs to solve problems in our companies and businesses. Many of the chapters are the documented solutions to these needs.
Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) has become accepted around the world as the international symbolic language that allows engineers and machinists to use engineering drawings to communicate from the design stage through manufacturing and inspection. Its advantages are uniformity in design practice, ensured interchangeability, consistent interpretation, and maximum tolerance allocation. With GD&T, design requirements can be specified explicitly and the latest gaging techniques can be accommodated, contributing to higher productivity and less rework and scrap. Deductively organized, this book is a complete on-the-job reference that provides a thorough understanding to the complex ASME Y14.5M-1994 Dimensioning and Tolerancing standard. Uses a building-block approach with examples (some dimensioned and toleranced in inches and some in millimeters) to illustrate each concept. Reinforces the explanations with end-of-chapter self evaluation exercises (the answers to all questions and problems are contained in the back of the book). Includes over one hundred drawings that illustrate concepts under discussion. Provides the information needed to become conversant in the techniques of GD&T and how to smoothly integrate this knowledge into engineering design and modern inspection systems.
An essential self-teaching guide This sourcebook provides a thorough explanation of ASME 14.5, the geometric dimensioning and tolerancing standard which is used primarily to communicate engineering configurations from the designer to the manufacturer. Heavily illustrated with engineering configurations, this book includes practical examples to assess individual knowledge as well as exercises based on the Frequently Asked Questions gathered over the author's 26 years as an educator.
This book presents the state-of-the-art regarding geometrical tolerancing. It describes the international standardisation laid down in ISO-Standards, and the differences with the American National Standards ANSI and the East European Standards. Additional specifications laid down in the British and German standards (DIN-Standards) are also addressed. New techniques, e.g. vectorial dimensioning and tolerancing, statistical tolerancing, and general geometrical tolerancing, are explained. Hints for manufacturing according to geometrical tolerancing are given. Principles for the inspection of geometrical deviations are outlined providing a basis for tolerancing suitable for inspection. Examples for tolerancing appropriate to various functional requirements are given.
AN UP-TO-DATE GUIDE TO GEOMETRIC DIMENSIONING AND TOLERANCING Written in accordance with the latest revision of the geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) stanedard, ASME Y14.5-2009, this book teaches the principles and practical applications of GD&T in an easy-to-understand manner. Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing for Mechanical Design, Second Edition, begins the discussion of each control with a definition, and then describes how the control is specified, interpreted, and inspected. Detailed drawings illustrate the topics discussed. Study questions and problems at the end of each chapter emphasize key concepts and serve as a self-test. Ensure the proper assembly of parts, improve quality, and reduce costs with help from this authoritative resource. Coverage includes: * Dimensioning and tolerancing fundamentals * Symbols, terms, and rules * Datums * Form--flatness, straightness, circularity and cylindricity * Orientation--perpendicularity, parallelism, and angularity * Position--general, location, and coaxially * Concentricity and symmetry * Runout * Profile * Graphic analysis * Strategy for tolerancing parts
This book is intended for students, academics, designers, process engineers and CMM operators, and presents the ISO GPS and the ASME GD&T rules and concepts. The Geometric Product Specification (GPS) and Geometrical Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) languages are in fact the most powerful tools available to link the perfect geometrical world of models and drawings to the imperfect world of manufactured parts and assemblies. The topics include a complete description of all the ISO GPS terminology, datum systems, MMR and LMR requirements, inspection, and gauging principles. Moreover, the differences between ISO GPS and the American ASME Y14.5 standards are shown as a guide and reference to help in the interpretation of drawings of the most common dimensioning and tolerancing specifications.The book may be used for engineering courses and for professional grade programmes, and it has been designed to cover the fundamental geometric tolerancing applications as well as the more advanced ones. Academics and professionals alike will find it to be an excellent teaching and research tool, as well as an easy-to-use guide.
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing provides complete coverage of the fundamentals of GD&T concepts, covers how to read and interpret prints with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing symbols, and teaches how to draw using GD&T symbology. The 2003 edition is based on the ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard and uses a second color to enhance the text.
