What is GD&T
GD&T
How it affects ABC Motor Company
What is GD&T
GD&T
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is a technical data
base through which our Product Design and Manufacturing
Organisations can talk to one another via Product Data,
whether on paper or the computer graphics screen
It is the engineering product definition standard that
geometrically describes design intent and provides the
documentation base for the design of the quality and
production system.
It is a technique of communication between Product
Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering that promotes a
uniform interpretation of the requirements for making a
component.
What is GD&T
GDT provides the dimensions of the
component and the tolerances in a language
that eliminates confusing and inconsistent
notes, datum lines, and location point
identifications, and replaces them with
standard symbols that refer to a universal
code.
This code describes the dimensions and
tolerances of the component with reference
to the relationships of the features to each
other and their functional interfaces with
mating parts, assemblies, etc.
Authorisation
In 1990 ABC World-wide adopted the American
National Standard for Dimensioning and
Tolerancing, currently the ASME Y14.5M 1994. The
authorisation for the above is documented in
Standard D-1 of the ABC Engineering CAD and
Drafting Standards and is referenced on all our
released data.
1990
ASME Y14.5M 1994
This information can be accessed via ABC intranet;
http://www-wise.ABC.com/non-regulatory.html
The above document also contains an electronic
copy of the ASME Y14.5M 1994 Dimensioning and
Tolerancing Standard.
GD&T for Body Engineering
Application
The application of GDT is initially the responsibility
of the relevant Component Engineer, however
teamwork is the key to the correct application
through the component Core Team.
This provides the opportunity for all disciplines to
contribute their part of the total design package.
It ensures part data will satisfy design intent as
well as manufacturing and inspection
requirements based on function, machine
capability and available technology.
GD&T for Body Engineering
Application
It provides the opportunity for proper
Datum selection and has the potential to
significantly reduce product changes,
especially those changes following final
product release.
The Core Team should consist at a
minimum of representatives from
Product Engineering, Design
Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering,
and Quality Engineering.

parts must be matched, guaranteeing
component features at their worst case for

The Virtual condition envelope is the worst
condition offered to the mating part.

Geometric Controls
Each feature of the component must be
controlled for SIZE, FORM, ORIENTATION and
LOCATION.
In the American National Standard there are
fourteen geometric controls.
Body Engineering use just three;

PERPENDICULARITY
Reference Pocket Guide
Page 29

PERPENDICULARITY
The main Application for PERPENDICULARITY
within Body Engineering is to control a single
Secondary Datum Feature of size (a hole) to
be perpendicular to the Primary Datum Plane.
Generally used only once within each
component to define the secondary datum
feature.
Any other use of this control
for other features would be an
additional requirement, because
PERPENDICULARITY does not
imply any location

POSITION
The term to describe
the perfect (theoretical
exact) location of
individual features in
relationship with a
datum reference or
other feature(s).
In general the
POSITION control is
used to locate uniform
features of size, e.g.
holes, shafts, slots etc.
53
Verification
As with all Features of Size;
First to be verified is that the top and bottom
limits of size have not been violated (Taylors
Principle). A full form check at the MMC and a
two pointed instrument check at the LMC.
Secondly the features Position must be
verified.
GD&T does not dictate the method of
verification. The decision on the gauging
technique employed is the responsibility of the
core team.

To Summarise
The BOUNDARY note only applies to non cylindrical
features.
The POSITION control + BOUNDARY controls both
Location and Orientation
In this case the word BOUNDARY must be added below
the FCF and the material Modifier MMC specified after
the POSITION tolerance value.
No diameter symbol precedes the tolerance value in
the Feature Control Frame
The positional tolerance specified for the length may
differ from that specified for the width.

Question?
Answer
The part has been rejected because of feature size alone.
If the part meets the functional gauge requirements, we know the part
is functional.
Therefore it must have been manufactured to a tighter specification
than that stated on the data.
To make the part acceptable we would need to change the data
specification.

then the considered feature is
