COURSE DESCRIPTION: "Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing" (GD&T) provides the basis for defining and communicating engineering design specifications. This course focuses on methods to improve communication among engineers, designers, manufacturing and inspection. The 16-hour course is a complete and thorough introduction to the ASME Y14.5M Standard and includes practical application exercises. This course is geared to those individuals with little to moderate experience with GD&T.
OBJECTIVES: - Introduce the concepts, rules and language of the ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard - Enable participants to understand and apply the GD&T symbology - Provide participants with knowledge for proper Datum selection and specification - Understand the definitions and effects of Material Condition Modifiers - Calculate functional tolerances for fasteners - Introduction to inspection techniques and functional gage design
WHY ATTEND? Your drawings have GD&T on them (or maybe they are supposed to)! If you have been attempting to work with GD&T but lack the confidence to set up specifications or have trouble interpreting a specification, this course is for you. Using GD&T improperly can be worse than not using it at all! This course is designed for drafters, designers, engineers, machinists, inspectors and quality assurance (QA) personnel.
INSTRUCTOR: The instructor, Tony Cimabue, is a Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Professional certified by ASME in accordance with the qualification ASME Y14.5.2. Tony has over 30 years of professional experience applying geometric dimensioning and tolerancing to complex design problems at Los Alamos National Laboratory and in private industry.
PREREQUISITES: Working understanding of engineering drawings or blueprint reading
COURSE CREDIT: 1.5 CEU (15 PDH)
WORKBOOK: Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing by Al Neumann with references to the ASME Y14.5 Standard will be provided.
RECOMMENDED REFERENCE BOOK: ASME Y14.5M Standard - 1994 Dimensioning and Tolerancing may be purchased when enrolling in class.
REFUND POLICY: ASME-NNM Section will provide a complete refund minus Acteva fees if cancellation occurs up to 15 business days prior to the start of the course. Cancellations made less than 15 business days prior to the start of a course are subject to a $200 administrative fee plus Acteva fees.
