ASME Y14.5 GD&T Standard Overview

The Y14.5 standard provides uniform guidelines for geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) on engineering drawings. GD&T communicates design intent for part form, fit, function and interchangeability. A committee revised Y14.5 to address new applications in the 21st century, changing concepts like features of size and composite position tolerances. ASME Y14.5-2009 replaced the 1994 version and aims to improve manufacturing quality, lower costs and shorten deliveries for industries like aerospace, automotive and medical devices.

The Y14.

5 standard is considered the authoritative guideline for the design language of


geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T.) It establishes uniform practices for stating
and interpreting GD&T and related requirements for use on engineering drawings and in
related documents.

GD&T is an essential tool for communicating design intent that parts from technical
drawings have the desired form, fit, function and interchangeability. By providing uniformity
in drawing specifications and interpretation, GD&T reduces guesswork throughout the
manufacturing process improving quality, lowering costs, and shortening deliveries.

Now, a consensus committee of experts has revised Y14.5 for 21st-century applications.
Important changes address: concept of feature of size; datum references and degrees of
freedom; composite position tolerances; surface boundaries and axis methods of
interpretation; profile tolerances; and symbology and modifiers tools. Additionally, the
subject matter has been restructured for better readability, with profile, orientation, and form
now in separate sections, and material within sections reorganized.

ASME Y14.5-2009 is a replacement of ASME Y14.5M-1994.
