ASME Y14.5 presentation by Alex Krulikowski

May 2005

Topics
1. How to ensure minimum size is met on a feature of size where portions (or in some cases all) of the features are not opposed. 2. Clarify the definition of size in Y14.5.
3. Understand the definition of size from Y14.5.1

4. Using the size definition from Y14.5.1 to clarify what size means in Y14.5
5. Proposal to change Y14.5 to clarify: actual local size, opposed, size, and feature of size

Examples of Partially Opposed

There are at least 18 examples of partially opposed features of size in Y14.5. There are numerous cases of partially opposed features of size in industry. Partially opposed features of size cause problems when determining the LMC size in the non-opposed areas.

Spine Types
A 0-dimensional spine is a point, and applies to spherical features. A 1-dimensional spine is a simple (nonintersecting curve in space, and applies to cylindrical features. A 2-dimensional spine is a simple (nonintersecting surface, and applies to parallel plane features.

Size and Partially Opposed Features

In Y14.5
Actual local size requires fully opposed surfaces. Actual local size is defined as a two-point measurement. There is no direction for the measurement defined. Should actual local size be defined as a tolerance zone? Actual local size is only explained as a method for checking a minimum distance.

In Y14.5.1
Does not require fully opposed features. Does not use the term actual local size. Uses two half space boundaries to define the size tolerance zone. Explanation for use with max or min size definition Works with or without Rule #1.

How is a max size checked when Rule #1 is overridden as in figure 6-3?

Size according to Y14.5

The 64.6 65.0 diameter is considered a feature of size. Using the Y14.5 definition of size, it is impossible to measure the actual local size of the diameter.

Now lets look at how the same size dimension would be interpreted using

Y14.5.1

ASME Y14.5 presentation by Alex Krulikowski

Size according to Y14.5.1

The 64.6 65.0 diameter is considered a feature of size. Using the Y14.5.1 definition of size, the size tolerance zone of the 64.6-65.0 diameter is defined by two half space boundaries. The boundaries are established by two balls: The MMC limit is defined by a ball equal to the MMC size. The LMC limit is defined by a ball equal to the LMC limit. The balls are moved along appropriate spines to define the tolerance zone.

Recommendations
Text in Y14.5M-1994 Proposed Text 1.3.24 Size, Actual. The general term for the size of a feature. See ASME Y14.5.1 paragraphs 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 for an explanation of variations in size.

5-1

Text in Y14.5M-1994

Proposed Text Delete paragraph 1.3.25 and replace all instances of Actual local size with Actual Size. (11 places in text and 4 places in figures)

Recommendations
Text in Y14.5M-1994 Proposed Text 2.7 LIMITS OF SIZE Unless otherwise specified (by specification of a straightness control applied to a size dimension, or a note as described in paragraph 2.7.2), the limits of size prescribe the extent within which variations of geometric form, as well as size are allowed. This control applies solely to individual features of size as defined in para. 1.3.17.

Show the MMC and LMC balls located along spines in several examples Add a paragraph and examples to explain opposed Add a paragraph and examples of features of size with partially opposed features.
