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 attendee 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 handouts
Newly 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
After completing this class, you will be able to:
- Describe inspection and engineering drawings
- Explain key terms used in GD&T and how they affect interpretation and inspection
- Recognize the modifiers and symbols used in geometric tolerancing
- Interpret and inspect Rule #1,Rule #2, flatness, straightness, circularity, cylindricity, perpendicularity, angularity, parallelism, concentricity, symmetry, circular and total runout
- Explain the concepts of basic dimensions, virtual condition, inner and outer boundary and bonus tolerance and their effects on inspection
- Interpret and simulate planar datums and datum targets for inspection
- Interpret and inspect feature of size datums RFS and MMC
- Explain the fundamental concepts of tolerance of position: definitions, conventions, advantages and interpretations and their effects on inspection
- Interpret and inspect tolerance of position RFS, MMC, and special applications
- Describe functional gages for tolerance of position (MMC) applications
- Explain profile tolerancing
- Interpret and inspect profile of a surface and profile of a line applications
