    The key takeaways are that geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is used to specify and control the form, location and orientation of parts and that there are standards like ASME Y14.5M and ISO for GD&T symbols.

    Datums are reference planes or surfaces used to locate other features on a part. They are important because they ensure precise measurements and repeatability between parts.

    Geometric tolerancing is used to define the acceptable variation in form, profile, orientation, runout and location of features on a part. It helps communication between designers and manufacturers and ensures consistent inspection results.

    ANSI And ISO Geometric Tolerancing Symbols

    There are several standards available worldwide to describe the symbols and the rules. These are
    American Society of Mechanical Engineers, ASME Y14.5M-2009, (GD&T - Geometric Dimensioning and
    Tolerancing) and International Organization for Standardization, ISO/TC 213, (GPS - Geometrical Product
    Specification) and ISO/TC 10 Technical Product Documentation (see the ISO GPS Specifications and
    verification List). The ISO (GPS) standards are typically only address a single topic at a time.ISO/TC 213
    is a technical committee that standardizes tolerancing and related metrological practices. ASME Y14.5M
    standard has the advantage of providing a fairly complete set of standards for GD & T in one document.

    Geometric Dimensioning And Tolerancing Reading


    Geometric Dimensioning And Tolerancing reading is very important to understand detailed drawings. It
    helps to read drawings for engineers, designers, manufacturers etc. what surface has to be machined
    carefully. Geometric tolerancing reading helps to understand to specify and control the form, location and
    orientation of the features of components and manufactured parts. Geometric Dimensioning and
    Tolerancing is an efficient method for describing the tolerancing mandated by the designer of the part.
    The Datum axis or Datum planes are to be used for locating other features. With GD&T all inspection will
    result in the same result. It will help to understand if the dimension is within or out of tolerance. Geometric
    Dimensioning and Tolerancing forces the designers to totally consider functions, manufacturing
    processes, and inspection methods. These explanations would be good answers to why GD&T
    should be used. Chosen geometric tolerance and modifier/modifiers will be shown in Tolerance Feature
    Indication/Feature Control Frame. Tolerance control frame is a rectangular symbol which contain
    indications that define the geometrical tolerance for features. Geometric Tolerance defines the form and
    the size of a tolerance zone. Tolerance zone may be one of the followings; the area within circle, the
    space between two coaxial cylinders, the area between two parallel lines, the space within a cylinder, the

    space between two parallel surfaces or two parallel planes the space within a geometrically a square or
    rectangular prism or a solid with six faces, the area between two concentric circles,

    Tolerance Feature Indication/Feature Control Frame Symbol.

    Primary Datum, Secondary Datum, and Tertiary Datum Planes: Datums must be perpendicular to
    each other.

    Primary Datum Plane: The primary datum is selected to provide functional relationships,
    standardizations and repeatability between surfaces. A standardization of size is desired in the
    manufacturing of a part. Consideration of how parts are orientated to each other is very important. The
    chosen primary datum must insure precise measurements.

    Secondary Datum Plane: Secondary datums are produced perpendicular to the primary datum so
    measurements can be referenced from them.

    Tertiary Datum Plane: Tertiary datum is always perpendicular to both the primary and secondary datums
    ensuring a fixed position from three related parts.

    Understanding of Geometric Tolerancing Modifiers


    The Modifiers (MMC,LMC,RFS) are used to clarify implied tolerances. There are three directly implied
    modifiers to the tolerance value. These are;
    1-) Regardless of Feature Size (RFS)
    2-) Maximum Material Condition (MMC)
    3-) Least Material Condition (LMC)
