Example of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is a system for defining and communicating. It uses a symbolic language on and computer-generated three-dimensional solid models that explicitly describe nominal and its allowable variation. It tells the manufacturing staff and machines what degree of is needed on each controlled feature of the part. GD&T is used to define the nominal (theoretically perfect) geometry of parts and assemblies, to define the allowable variation in form and possible size of individual features, and to define the allowable variation between features. Dimensioning specifications define the nominal, as-modeled or as-intended geometry. One example is a basic dimension. Tolerancing specifications define the allowable variation for the form and possibly the size of individual features, and the allowable variation in orientation and location between features.

Two examples are and feature control frames using a (both shown above). There are several standards available worldwide that describe the symbols and define the rules used in GD&T. One such standard is (ASME) Y14.5-2009. This article is based on that standard, but other standards, such as those from the (ISO), may vary slightly.
The Y14.5 standard has the advantage of providing a fairly complete set of standards for GD&T in one document. The ISO standards, in comparison, typically only address a single topic at a time. There are separate standards that provide the details for each of the major symbols and topics below (e.g.
Position, flatness, profile, etc.). Contents. Origin The origin of GD&T is credited to, who developed the concept of 'true position'. While little is known about Parker's life, it is known that he worked at the Royal Torpedo Factory in,.
His work increased production of naval weapons by new contractors. In 1940, Parker published Notes on Design and Inspection of Mass Production Engineering Work, the earliest work on geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. In 1956, Parker published Drawings and Dimensions, which became the basic reference in the field. Dimensioning and tolerancing philosophy According to the ASME Y14.5-2009 standard, the purpose of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is to describe the engineering intent of parts and assemblies. The datum reference frame can describe how the part fits or functions.
GD&T can more accurately define the dimensional requirements for a part, allowing over 50% more tolerance zone than coordinate (or linear) dimensioning in some cases. Proper application of GD&T will ensure that the part defined on the drawing has the desired form, fit (within limits) and function with the largest possible tolerances. GD&T can add quality and reduce cost at the same time through producibility.
There are some fundamental rules that need to be applied (these can be found on page 7 of the 2009 edition of the standard):. All dimensions must have a tolerance.
Every feature on every manufactured part is subject to variation, therefore, the limits of allowable variation must be specified. Plus and minus tolerances may be applied directly to dimensions or applied from a general tolerance block or general note. For basic dimensions, geometric tolerances are indirectly applied in a related Feature Control Frame. The only exceptions are for dimensions marked as minimum, maximum, stock or reference.
Dimensions define the nominal geometry and allowable variation. Measurement and scaling of the drawing is not allowed except in certain cases. Engineering drawings define the requirements of finished (complete) parts. Every dimension and tolerance required to define the finished part shall be shown on the drawing. If additional dimensions would be helpful, but are not required, they may be marked as reference. Dimensions should be applied to features and arranged in such a way as to represent the function of the features. Additionally, dimensions should not be subject to more than one interpretation.
Descriptions of manufacturing methods should be avoided. The geometry should be described without explicitly defining the method of manufacture. If certain sizes are required during manufacturing but are not required in the final geometry (due to shrinkage or other causes) they should be marked as non-mandatory.
All dimensioning and tolerancing should be arranged for maximum readability and should be applied to visible lines in true profiles. When geometry is normally controlled by gage sizes or by code (e.g. Stock materials), the dimension(s) shall be included with the gage or code number in parentheses following or below the dimension. Angles of 90° are assumed when lines (including center lines) are shown at right angles, but no angular dimension is explicitly shown.
(This also applies to other orthogonal angles of 0°, 180°, 270°, etc.). Dimensions and tolerances are valid at 20 °C / 101.3 kPa unless stated otherwise. Unless explicitly stated, all dimensions and tolerances are only valid when the item is in a free state. Dimensions and tolerances apply to the length, width, and depth of a feature including form variation. Dimensions and tolerances only apply at the level of the drawing where they are specified. It is not mandatory that they apply at other drawing levels, unless the specifications are repeated on the higher level drawing(s). (Note: The rules above are not the exact rules stated in the ASME Y14.5-2009 standard.) Symbols Tolerances: Type of tolerances used with symbols in feature control frames can be 1) equal bilateral 2) unequal bilateral 3) unilateral 4) no particular distribution (a 'floating' zone) Tolerances for the profile symbols are equal bilateral unless otherwise specified, and for the position symbol tolerances are always equal bilateral.
For example, the position of a hole has a tolerance of.020 inches. This means the hole can move +/-.010 inches, which is an equal bilateral tolerance.
It does not mean the hole can move +.015/.005 inches, which is an unequal bilateral tolerance. Unequal bilateral and unilateral tolerances for profile are specified by adding further information to clearly show this is what is required.
