Fundamentals of GD&T ASME Y14.5M 1994 - 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 Y14.5M-1994 Standard.
The class offers an explanation of geometric symbols, including each symbol’s requirements, tolerance zones, and limitations. It compares GD&T to coordinate tolerancing, Rules #1 and #2; form and orientation controls; tolerance of position; runout and profile controls. Newly acquired learning is reinforced throughout the class with more than 100 practice problems using industrial drawings.
Each participant receives: The Fundamentals of GD&T (ASME Y14.5M-1994) textbook by Alex Krulikowski, a GD&T Ultimate Pocket Guide (1994), a GD&T Workbook with Engineering Drawings (1994)For more in-depth GD&T coverage, see our 3-day Fundamentals of GD&T advanced-level course, which covers everything from this 2-day course, plus these additional topics: drawing standards, using tolerances on CAD models, position tolerance special applications and calculations, related and unrelated actual mating envelope, fixed and floating fastener formulas, and geometric tolerance inspection methods. It also includes 50 additional practice problems using industrial drawings.
