Geometric Dimensioning &
1olerancing ,GD&1,
GD&T is a means of dimensioning &
tolerancing a drawing which considers
the function of the part and how this part
functions with related parts.
A drawing made with GD&T can be
interpreted in only one way.
GD&T focuses on functional assembly. t
also defines through the datums the way
in which the component needs to be
manufactured and assembled. This
ensures a uniform method of
manufacture and an assured functional
fit.
GD&T is a system that uses standard
symbols to indicate tolerances that are
based on the feature's geometry.

For example, if large number of
parts are being made GD&T can
reduce or eliminate inspection of
some features.
Provides "bonus tolerance so that
the tolerances are not tightened
beyond what required for proper
functioning and assembly.
Ensures design, dimension, and
tolerance requirements as they relate
to the actual function
Ensures interchangeability of mating
parts at the assembly
Provides uniformity

hen functional gaging is desirable
hen datum references are desirable
to insure consistency between design
hen standard interpretation or
tolerance is not already implied

atum Feature SimuIator:
Datum Feature $imulator is the surface of a

Datum Feature and is used to establish simulated
datums.
Datums Definition of Terms
To establish the datum in practice the Datum Feature is
located by a sleeve of perfect form. This sleeve is the
Datum Feature $imulator.

t is important to state the assumptions about the
order in which the datums are to be located.
Change in the order of location can change the

Angularit
Angularity can also be expressed on surfaces as
well as on features of size.
On surfaces it is defined as all the surface
elements on the plane bounded by two parallel
planes at a linear separation of the value of the
tolerance and the bounding surfaces being
inclined at the specified basic angle with the
datums.
On features of size it is specified in terms of
cylindrical bounding zones which are at the
specified basic angle to the datum.
The former practice of expressing tolerances on
angles in terms of degrees and minutes is not
used any more as it leads to non uniform tolerance
zones.

Parallelism
Parallelism is expressed on surfaces as well as on
features of size.
On surfaces parallelism is defined as the surface
under measurement being contained by two parallel
planes at a linear separation of the specified value of
the tolerance and the bounding planes being parallel
to the datum.
On feature of size parallelism is defined as the axis
of the feature being contained within a cylindrical
tolerance zone of the specified value of the tolerance
and the cylindrical tolerance zone being parallel to
the datums specified.
The distance between the parallel lines, or surfaces,
is specified by the geometric tolerance.

Opposite surface generators are

around feature axis.
The difference between the
readings of the two dials should
not exceed the value of
symmetry tolerance.
