The ISO parallel (not equivalent) is ISO 1101. and several foreign countries because of its stability, emphasis on design intent, mathematical definition, and translation into several languages. AMSE Y14.5 is the preferred standard for GD&T in the U.S. Some benefits of GD&T: Depicts functional design relationships Provides a common language for design, production, and inspection Ensures part interchangeability Allows consistent part inspection Facilitates the creation of functional gaging Permits maximum use of available tolerances Compatible with CAD systemsħ ASME Y14.5 AMSE Y14.5 establishes uniform practices for stating and interpreting dimensioning, tolerancing, and related requirements for use on engineering drawings and in related documents. GD&T has been developing over the past 80 years or more, but began to see much more application after WWII.
It is also a design-dimensioning philosophy that encourages designers to define a part based on how it functions in the final product. GD&T is a precise mathematical language that controls the size, form, orientation and location of part features.
005 From the exaggerated view above, it is easy to see why some of the parts didn’t work – they were not straight! So how did the “bad” pins pass inspection? How straight is good enough? Is that requirement clear from the drawing in the previous slide? Parts from both suppliers were measured with calipers and everything checked out OK (length and diameter were within specification).ģ.000 . The parts from Supplier A worked fine, but those from Supplier B didn’t work about 10% of the time. 005 Parts were ordered from Supplier A and Supplier B.
