Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing
What is GD & T? It is System of Symbols,Rules and Definitions used to define the
geometry of Mechanical Parts with respect to actual function or
relationshio of part features
Used only when there is physical relationship of any part with other
part in assembly, If part itself is end product then no GD & T used, as
its only for interchangeability
When GD & T is used?
No Assembly No GD & T
Used in Every company in the world and every industry
Where its used? , where assemblies of components are done
Making two parts independent of each other &
1 GD & T Assures Interchangeability expecting them to assemble and perform
some action
2 It Saves Money
Provides Maximum Production Tolerances &
3
Bonus Tolerances
Advantages
Geometrical Dimensioning & 4 Help to achieve Design Intent
Tolerancing INTRODUCTION
Provides uniformity of specification and interpretation –
