Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing: Applications and Inspection (2nd Edition)

This book assists readers in understanding geometric tolerancing symbols, interpretation, drawings and inspection methods. An accessible writing style covers GTD with step-by-step instructions, and is accompanied by clear and complete photos of setups, drawings, sketches, and detailed examples. Clear and concise chapter topics include datums, inspecting size tolerances, flatness, straightness, circularity, cylindricity, parallelism, perpendicularity, angularity, circular runout, total runout, profile of a line, profile of a surface, concentricity, position tolerances, symmetry, and an introduction to functional gage design. For product engineers, design engineers, manufacturing engineers, quality engineers, and mechanical inspectors.

Clear descriptions and nearly 400 illustrations make Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing an essential reference for operators, machinists, inspectors, quality technicians and engineers, and other people in manufacturing companies who need to know about inspection methods and techniques.

Coverage of specific methods and techniques used to ensure functional inspection of the geometric tolerances included in this text has immediate value for anyone involved in the quality control process.

Formerly titled Measuring and Gaging Geometric Tolerances, the second edition has been updated and revised to reflect the latest ASME standards (ASME Y14.5M). The following changes and additions ensure that this new edition meets the needs of today's quality professionals:

• "Symmetry" moved to a new Chapter 17
• A new Chapter 18 added, entitled "Introduction to Functional Gage Design"
• New applications of the 1994 ASME standard covered
