    Geometric tolerancing uses symbols to define the maximum allowable variations of a part's form, geometry, or positional relationship to its intended design. There are three main groups of geometric control symbols - orientation, position, and profile. Positional tolerancing controls the location of a feature within a tolerance zone related to its size and referenced datum planes. The amount of positional tolerance applied depends on the material condition and feature size, and is calculated based on the clearance needed for applications like floating or fixed fasteners.

    Geometric Tolerancing

    Geometric Tolerancing

    •Geometric tolerances state the maximum allowable


    variations of a form or its position from the perfect
    geometry implied on the drawing.

    •Traditional notes which explain geometric tolerance


    variations have been used in the past. Presently,
    however, it is recommended that such tolerances be
    defined using the geometric characteristic symbols
    outlined in ANSI Y14.5M-1994.
    Geometric Control Symbols
    (See Table 10.4)

    Key:
    Symbols of main focus in class
    Geometric Control Symbols (cont)
    Orientation Group

    Parallelism, perpendicularity and angularity


    •Feature control frame is comprised of three segments
    •Tolerance is linear
    •Referenced datum plane does not have to be a principle plane.

    The Meaning
    Geometric Control Symbols (cont)
    Position Group

    Concentricity
    •Used to establish a relationship between the axes of two or more cylindrical features
    •The feature control frame is divided into 3 segments
    •The tolerance specifies a cylindrical tolerance zone and is, thusly, preceded by the symbol 

    The Meaning
    Geometric Control Symbols
    Position Group (cont)

    Symmetry
    •Defines a tolerance zone where the median points of opposite symmetrical
    surfaces align with the datum center plane.
    •The feature control frame is comprised of 3 segments
    •The related datum reference is the datum center plane
    •The tolerance will always be applied on a RFS (Regardless of Feature Size) basis

    The Meaning
    Geometric Control Symbols
    Position Group (cont)

    Positional
    •The most important of the geometric control tolerance symbols.
    •Controls the location of a cylindrical tolerance zone where the centerline
    of a feature is located.
    •Tolerance is applied with a diameter tolerance zone with relation to its
    material condition size.
    •The feature control frame is comprised of 5 segments. The last three
    segments refer to the primary, secondary, and tertiary datum reference
    planes respectively.

    Geometric Control Symbol


    Diametric or Linear Tolerance
    Material Condition Symbol
    Primary Datum Reference Plane
    Secondary Datum Reference Plane
    Tertiary Datum Reference Plane

    Maximum Material Condition


    Least Material Condition
    Material Condition Symbols Regardless of Feature size
    Projected Tolerance
    Free State Condition
    Meaning of the Positional Tolerance

    MMCHole - Position Tolerance = Theoretical Boundary


    Finding the Applied Positional
    Tolerance
    1. Finding the Applied Positional Tolerance at MMC

    For Internal Features


    Applied Tolerance
    = Actual size -MMC + Positional Tolerance

    For External Features


    Applied Tolerance
    = MMC - Actual Size + Positional Tolerance
    2. Finding the Applied Positional Tolerance at LMC

    For External Features


    Applied Tolerance
    = Actual size -LMC + Positional Tolerance

    For Internal Features


    Applied Tolerance
    = LMC - Actual Size + Positional Tolerance
    3. Finding the Applied Positional Tolerance Regardless
    of Feature Size (RFS)
    Calculating the Numerical Value
    of the Positional Tolerance
    Three Possible Situations
    1. Floating Fastener Application
    •Where two or more parts are assembled with fasteners such as nuts and bolts and all parts
    have clearance holes.
    •When holes in a pattern are the same diameters, the bolts used are the same diameters, and
    the same positional tolerance for all the holes is to be the same, then the positional tolerance
    may be calculated as the allowance (MMCHole - MMCBolt) applicable for all holes within
    the pattern of each part.

    Typical Floating
    Fastener Application
    2. Fixed Fastener Application
    •Where one of the parts to be assembled has a held-in-place fastener
    such as a threaded hole for a bolt, screw, or stud.
    •Only one of the parts will have clearance around it, so the positional
    tolerance of that one hole is to be shared with the threaded hole. In this
    case, the positional tolerance is distributed at the discretion of the engineer.
    That tolerance usually is 50% of the allowance with half going to the clearance
    hole and the other half going to the threaded hole.

    Typical Fixed
    Fastener Application
    3. All Other Applications
    •A circumscribed circle drawn from the square defined by dimensional tolerances
    (.012 + .012)1/2 = .014
