WHAT’S COVERED

COURSE OBJECTIVES

1. Understanding of the concepts and symbols of the Y14.5M-1994 standard
2. Bring participants to a fundamental understanding of Datum Feature selection, specification and interpretation, as well as proper, and practical, Datum Reference Frame construction.
3. Gain a complete understanding of the definitions and the effects of Material Condition Modifiers applied to considered features as well as to datum features, including how to analyze those effects.
4. Enable participants to properly apply and interpret each of the Y14.5M controls and rules (i.e. how to "encode" and "decode" Feature Control Frames, Datum Features, etc.).
5. Enable participants to calculate functional tolerances for position and other tolerances.
6. Help to prepare the participants for the ASME GDTP certification exams.

PROGRAM OUTLINE

The program begins with a rapid review of the Y14.5M standard. We then slowly review the most important and most common aspects of GD&T, breaking down each control and rule into concise, understandable terminology. Then we continue with practical team exercises where we actually apply GD&T to real drawings of real parts. The first half of this class is mainly lecture with plenty of opportunity for class participation. The second half is organized as a minimum lecture, maximum experience and participation format. The subject matter covered, as a minimum, is:

•   Objectives, Review GD&T in its entirety
•   GD&T symbols and definitions of controls and general tolerancing rules
•   Tolerance Zones - definition, concepts, and comparison to existing systems
•   Review of the most common and useful controls and rules
•   Calculating tolerances for maximum producability and 100% interchangeability
•   Review of the more complex control - composite position, projected tolerance zone, etc.
•   Datum Reference Frames - proper selection, specification and utilization
•   Review of actual prints (participant and instructor supplied - bring your own parts and drawings!)
