Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing: Principles and Practices, 11th Edition

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing provides thorough coverage of GD&T practices as established by the ASME Y14.5-2018 standard, ideal for engineering and manufacturing programs. From understanding symbols on existing drawings to calculating the tolerances for proper size and location of features, topics are introduced in a methodical manner to establish an understanding of basic concepts before building to more advanced applications. The use of second color in this heavily illustrated text enhances learning by highlighting callouts and labels separately from the symbols and text of each drawing. Chapter figures and drafting problems with model views have been updated to show correct application of datum feature symbols. The updates conform to the latest standard practices for 3D model documentation. Real-world prints featured in the book include 3D model views for clarity and enhanced visualization, making it easier to understand and discuss part features and answer questions related to the prints. Drafting problems provide opportunities to apply drawing skills and convey information using GD&T symbiology. The prints at the end of the book have been greatly enhanced with new model views for improved visualization. Digital users will benefit from the new 3D PDF files that are provided for the drafting problems and prints in the book, serving as an excellent visualization tool for students.

• The textbook introduces GD&T concepts methodically to help ensure that students have a full understanding of every basic concept as they build knowledge toward more advanced applications.
• The authors describe and illustrate concepts in an easy-to-read format, approaching GD&T as an easy-to-understand subject rather than something complex and difficult.
• The sequence of chapters in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is similar to the organization of topics in ASME Y14.5-2018.
