Outline

Introduction to Dimensioning

Dimensioning Standards

  •  ASME Y14.5-1994
  •  ISO (multiple standards)

GD&T advantages

Rule #1

  • Two Sides of Rule #1
    • Allows variation in form
    • Prohibits variation in form

Table Design Example

Fundamental Rules

Units of Measurement

Applications of Dimensions

General Tolerancing

Limit Dimensions

Plus/Minus Dimensions

  • Unilateral
  • Bilateral
  • Bilateral Symmetric

Example

Feature Control Frame

Basic Dimension

Datum Identifiers

  • Planar Datums
  • Axis Datums
  • Partial Surface Datums
    • Datum Targets
  • Datum Simulators

Datums

Material Condition Modifiers

  • MMC
  • LMC
  • RFS

Form Controls

  • Straightness
  • Circularity
  • Flatness
  • Cylindricity

Orientation Controls

  • Parallelism
  •  Perpendicularity
  • Angularity

Profile Control

  • Profile of a line
  • Profile of a surface

Runout

  • Circular Runout
  • Total Runout

Location Controls

  • Concentricity
    • For dynamic balancing, spinning parts
  • Position

Combinational Control

  • E.g., Runout and Profile
