Fundamentals of GD&T ASME Y14.5 - 2018 Foundational Level

ET2150

Abstract
Content

The 2-day foundational-level Fundamentals of GD&T course teaches the terms, rules, symbols, and concepts of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, as prescribed in the ASME Y14.5-2018 Standard.

The class offers an explanation of geometric tolerances, including their symbols, tolerance zones, applicable modifiers, common applications, and limitations. It explains Rules #1 and #2, the datum system, form and orientation controls, tolerance of position (RFS and MMC), runout, and profile controls. Newly acquired learning is reinforced throughout the class with more than 130 practice exercises, including more than 60 application problems. 

Each participant receives:
  • Fundamentals of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing 2018 Using Critical Thinking Skills textbook by Alex Krulikowski
  • 2018 Ultimate GD&T Pocket Guide, 2nd Edition

This course provides a complete look at GD&T Fundamentals. For more complex GD&T topics, like the expanded use of composite position and profile tolerances, customized datum reference frames, the translation modifier, and applying GD&T to non-rigid parts, see our Advanced Concepts of GD&T course. 

Learning Objectives
Content
After completing this foundational-level course, you’ll be able to:
  • Describe the types of dimensions, tolerances, and notes
  • Define the key terms used in GD&T
  • Recognize the symbols and modifiers used in GD&T
  • Explain the rules used in GD&T
  • Describe the concepts of worst-case boundary, virtual condition, and bonus tolerance
  • Interpret the various types of geometric tolerances (flatness, circularity, straightness, perpendicularity, parallelism, position, runout, and profile)
  • Describe the datum system
  • Interpret applications of datum targets, size datum features at RMB, and size datum features at MMB
Who Should Attend
