Syllabus
• Need of Geometric Tolerance
• The standard used was ASME Y14.5 -1994 and now, AMSE Y14.5-2009
is used.
• Increased use of worldwide standards, such as ISO 9000, which
require universally understood and accepted methods of
documentation.
• Reduce Defects
• Increase Understanding
Geometric characteristics of symbols
• It depends on the types of geometrical tolerances
1. Form tolerance
2. Orientation tolerance
3. Location tolerance
4. Profile tolerance
5. Runout tolerance
1. Form tolerance
• Control the shape of features and used as refinement of size.
• The actual centre of the hole may lie within a tolerance zone
indicated by a small circle of diameter 0.1 mm.
Profile of a line
• Tolerance zone for a profile of a line controls the contour of a curved
profile.
• Figure shows the variation in actual top surface.
• The variation lies between the two curves which envelop the actual
curve.
Profile of a surface
• Tolerance zone for a profile of a surface is the space between two
surfaces of a same profile which envelop the highest point and lowest
point of surface keeping the same profile.
Circular Runout
• Circular run out is the deviation from an ideal shape when part is
rotated by 360°.
• It could be radial or axial or both.
Total Runout
• Total run out is not a circular run out at one particular position but
found when dial indicator is moved axially over the entire surface
parallel to the axis of datum while the part is being turned.
