GD&T stands for Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing • DIMENSION is a geometric characteristic the size of which is specified such as length,angle,location,or center distance • TOLERANCE on a dimension is the total permissible variation in its size, which is equal to the difference between the limits of size.

Deviations • The difference between the basic size and the maximum and minimum sizes are called the UPPER & LOWER deviations. • The BASIC DIMENSION represents the theoretical exact size or location of a feature.

Datum • A DATUM is a theoretical exact feature from which dimensions may be taken. • A DATUM is generally chosen as an edge or feature which has the greatest influence in a specific measurement.

Geometric Tolerance • A geometric tolerance is the maximum permissible variation of form, profile, orientation, location, and runout from that indicated or specified on a drawing. • Feature control frame for an individual feature is divided into compartments containing, at the least, the geometric tolerance symbol and the geometric tolerance value
Feature control frame (fig.16-16) • Geometric characteristic symbol • Geometric tolerance • Datums (if used) • Modifiers as required (*MMC for example)

Form Tolerances • FORM TOLERANCES control the straightness, flatness, circularity and cylindricity • Form tolerances apply to individual features and as such do not require locating dimensions. • ORIENTATION TOLERANCES control angularity, parallelism, and perpendicularity
More on FORM TOLERANCES • Straightness-a condition in which the element of a surface or a median line is a straight line • Flatness of a surface is a condition in which all surface elements are in one plane

MMC, RFS, LMC applies to features subject to variations in size • MMC (Maximum Material Condition) is when a feature or part is at the limit of size, which results in its containing the maximum amount of material. • LMC (Least Material Conditon) refers to the size of a feature that results in the part containing the minimum amount of material. Thus it is the minimum limit of size for an external feature. • RFS (Regardless of feature size) indicates that a geometric tolerance applies to any size of a feature that lies within its size tolerance.
Datums and the 3-plane concept (16-5) • Datum is a theoretical point, line, plane, or other geometric surface fromwhich dimensions are measured when so specified or to which geometric tolerances are referenced • Datum feature is a feature of a part, such as a surface, that forms the basis for a datum or is used to establish its location
3-plane system • The three planes constitue a datum system from which measurements can be taken. They will appear on the drawing. • Datum feature symbol is used on the drawing to identify these surfaces

Orientation tolerancing (16-6) • Angularity, parallelism and perpendicularity are orientation tolerances applicable to related features • Angularity is the condition of a surface or axis at a specified angle (other than 90⁰or 0⁰) from a datum plane or axis • Perpendicularity is the condition of a surface at 90⁰ to a datum plane or axis. *A perpendicularity tolerance for a flat surface specifies a tolerance zone defined by two parallel planes perpendicular to a datum plane or axis • Parallelism is the condition of a surface equidistant at all points from a datum plane. Parallelism for a flat surface specifies a tolerance zone defined by two planes or lines parallel to a datum plane or axis.
Datum Targets (16-11) • Datum target symbols are used to locate specific reference positions to be used on large datum surfaces* • the surface of a feature may be so large that a gage designed to make contact with the full surface may be too expensive or cumbersome to use • Functional requirements of the part may necessitate the use of only a portion of a surface as a datum feature
