The course uses some examples of drawings or components from the client, where available, to help to illustrate the course material and as the basis of some worked examples and exercises. The course covers the fundamental concepts of GD&T, its application and interpretation.
The course is suitable for anyone who is familiar with the conventions of engineering drawing and limit (or ±) tolerances on dimensions, and is relevant to anyone who has to produce or interpret mechanical engineering specifications. The course is based on the American ASME Y14.5 standard, and is applicable to users of the 1994, 2009 and 2018 revisions (a version is also available based on the British BS 8888 standard and the ISO standards which it references).
Delegates are provided with comprehensive course notes, and a workbook with questions and exercises to accompany the training material.
Learning objectives: Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing to ASME Y14.5 – Level 1 is a three-day course which can be delivered either in a classroom environment or online. The course uses some examples of drawings or components from the client, where available, to help to illustrate the course material and as the basis of some worked examples and exercises.
Course outline:
- Module 1 - Standards in context
- Module 2 - Features and Features-of-Size
- Module 3 - Six degrees of freedom
- Module 4 - Basic dimensions
- Module 5 - The GD&T roadmap – how to choose which tolerance to use
- Module 6 - Applying tolerances at Maximum Material Condition
- Module 7 - Application of tolerances in special cases
Course duration: 4 virtual classroom days or 3 face to face days
Assessment & certification: 21 Hours Engineers Ireland Approved CPD. National Physical Laboratory training framework if required.
Who should attend - Mechanical, production and design engineers, drawing office and inspection personnel. Some familiarity with engineering drawing practice and conventional dimensioning and tolerancing is required.
To maximize the effectiveness of the training, an upper limit to the class size of 10 delegates is recommended for the geometrical tolerancing courses.
