Understanding Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerances

Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerances (GD&T) is a system that uses symbols, rules and definitions to define the geometry of mechanical parts in order to reduce costs and delivery times. GD&T is a quality improvement tool that specifies 14 different symbols to define form, profile, location, orientation, and runout of parts using feature control frames that specify the geometric control, tolerance zone, modifiers, and datum references for each part feature.

Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerances

• GD&T is a system of symbols, rules and definitions used to define the geometry of
mechanical parts.
• GD&T is a quality improvement tool.
• GD&T reduce cost and delivery time of component
• Total 14 GD&T symbols
Form ( Straightness, Flatness, Circularity, Cylindricity) – Datum not reqd
Profile ( Profile of a line, profile of surface) - Datum may or may not reqd
Location (Position, Concentricity, Symmetricity) – Datum reqd
Orientation (Perpendicularity, Parallelism, Angularity) – Datum Reqd
Runout (Circular runout & Total runout) – Datum reqd
• Feature Control Frame:I n GD&T, a feature control frame is required to describe
the conditions and tolerances of a geometric control on a part's feature.
The feature control frame consists of four pieces of information:
GD&T symbol or control symbol.
Tolerance zone type and dimensions
Tolerance zone modifiers: features of size, projections…
Datum references (if required by the GD&T symbol)
