Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing for Mechanical Design
Gene R. Cogorno
Preface
This book is written primarily for the learner who is new to the subject of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). The primary purpose of this book is to teach the graphic language of GD&T in a way that the learner can understand and use it in practical applications. It is intended as a textbook to be used in colleges and universities and as a training manual for corporate training programs that teach engineering, design, drafting, manufacturing, and quality professionals. This book is also appropriate for a self-study course.
The material in this book is written in accordance with the latest revision of the geometric dimensioning and tolerancing standard, ASME Y14.5M-1994. GD&T is a graphic language. To facilitate understanding, there is at least one drawing for each concept discussed. Drawings in this text are for illustration purposes only. In order to avoid confusion, only the concepts being discussed are completely toleranced. All of the drawings in this book are dimensioned and toleranced with the inch system of measurement because most drawings produced in the United States are dimensioned with this system. You should be skilled at reading engineering drawings.
