Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) Fundamentals Classroom Training

An Instructor Led Classroom Based Training Course

This classroom based training course is designed to help understand and interpret the fundamentals of GD & T. It is based on the ASME Y14.5 – 2009 standard. Formally the ASME Y14.5M - 1994 standard.

By definition, GD & T establishes uniform practices for stating and interpreting dimensions, tolerancing, and related requirements for use on engineering drawings and in related documents.

 

Course details and prerequisites:

Duration: 2 Days
Type: Instructor Led
Level: Basic

Prerequisites:

  • Basic understanding of mechanical drawings
Who should attend this course:
  • This course is a valuable tool to any individual who has to create or interpret engineering drawings; for product and gauge designers; CMM operators and quality assurance personnel.

 

Course Objectives

After the training you will be able to:

  • Identify the benefits of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing.
  • Identify the geometric characteristic symbols used in GD & T and understand their meaning.
  • Interpret feature control frames and apply them on drawings.
  • Interpret and apply modifiers in feature control frames and how they affect the geometric tolerance specified.
  • Interpret Datum Reference Frames illustrating primary, secondary, and tertiary datums.
  • Understand the function of datum targets and partial datums.
  • Discuss methods of inspection for the different geometric characteristic symbols.
  • Recognize composite feature control frames and illustrate how to interpret them on drawings.
  • Interpret different examples of GD&T applications from various drawing examples.
