    Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is a symbolic language and engineering drawing standard used to communicate nominal geometry and allowable variation between designers. It simplifies communication to enable mass production and explicitly describes nominal geometry and its acceptable tolerances. GD&T has been in use since the early 20th century and was important for high volume production during World War 2 before being standardized in ANSI and ASME standards.

    Geometric dimensioning and
    tolerancing

     symbolic language
     engineering drawing standard

     known as GD&T

     simplifies communication between

    designers
     enables mass production

     explicitly describes nominal geometry and its

    allowable variation

    History of GD&T

     in use since beginning of 20. century



    important in 2.W.W. (high volume
    production of weapons)

    spread into automotive and computer
    industry

    ANSI Y14.5M-1982

    ASME Y14.5M-1994
    25.3.2007 Daniel Milde, 2007 4
    GD&T rules

     All dimensions must have a tolerance


     Dimensioning and tolerancing shall completely

    define the nominal geometry and allowable variation


     Measurement and scalling of the drawing is not

    allowed
     Engineering drawings define the requirements of

    finished (complete) parts


     No descriptions of manufacturing methods
