Fundamentals of GD&T for Inspectors - Foundational Level
This 2-day foundational-level course builds on geometric dimensioning and tolerancing fundamentals and teaches an introduction of how to inspect GD&T requirements.
The course offers an explanation of the geometric symbols, rules, and concepts, the datum system, and how to inspect GD&T requirements using tools from the four categories of inspection tools (CMM; comparison instruments and fixed gages; hand tools and open set up; and production gaging systems).
Each participant receives: A Fundamentals of GD&T for Inspectors Workbook The Fundamentals of GD&T (ASME Y14.5M-1994) textbook by Alex Krulikowski A GD&T Ultimate Pocket Guide (1994) Class handoutsNewly acquired learning is reinforced throughout the class with numerous practice problems. The scope of the workshop includes how to locate a part for CMM inspection but not how to program the CMM to gather the data point.
What Will You Learn
