Fundamentals of GD&T ASME Y14.5 - 2018 Foundational Level
The 2-day foundational-level Fundamentals of GD&T course teaches the terms, rules, symbols, and concepts of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, as prescribed in the ASME Y14.5-2018 Standard.
The class offers an explanation of geometric tolerances, including their symbols, tolerance zones, applicable modifiers, common applications, and limitations. It explains Rules #1 and #2, the datum system, form and orientation controls, tolerance of position (RFS and MMC), runout, and profile controls. Newly acquired learning is reinforced throughout the class with more than 130 practice exercises, including more than 60 application problems.
