Geometric Dimensioning and

Tolerancing - GD&T

z The need to tolerance more then size led to


a more precise system
GD&T

GD&T

z GD&T described using feature control frame


z Need to understand:
– Geometric Characteristics

– Modifiers

– Datums
Feature Control Frame

Note: Order is important


Geometric Characteristics
Modifiers

z Symbols that help to define characteristics


– Example: MMC – Maximum Material Condition-
condition when most material exists
Ø.75±.02
MMC Ø.77
External Feature

Ø.75±.02
MMC Ø.73
Internal Feature
Compare MMC to RFS (Regardless of Feature Size)

Ø.002 or Ø.002 M

1.00±.002

Produced Tolerance Tolerance


size RFS MMC
1.002 .002 .002
1.001 .002 .003
1.000 .002 .004
.999 .002 .005
.998 .002 .006
Straightness Example
Straightness at MMC
Datums

z Theoretically perfect points, lines and planes


used for reference.
z Again function of part very important
z Classified as primary, secondary or tertiary.
Datum Surfaces and Features

z Datum surfaces and features are used as


references to control other features

Diagonal: 1.414*0.010
Position Tolerancing
True Position and Perpendicularity
Using Geometric Dimensioning and
Tolerancing

z Applying GDT principles requires:


– Defining the part’s functions
– Listing the functions by priority
– Defining the datum reference frame
– Control selection
– Calculating tolerances
