Industrial Press Interpretation of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing 3rd Edition

Authors: Daniel E. Puncochar & Ken Evans

• Completely updated for ASME Y14.5-2009!
• Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) has become accepted around the world as the international symbolic language that allows engineers and machinists to use engineering drawings to communicate from the design stage through manufacturing and inspection.
• Deductively organized, this book is a complete on-the-job reference that provides a thorough understanding to the complex ASME Y14.5-2009 “Dimensioning and the Tolerancing” standard.

Features:

• Uses a “building-block” approach with examples (some dimensioned and toleranced in inches and some in millimeters) to illustrate each concept.
• Reinforces the explanations with end-of-chapter self evaluation exercises (the answers to all questions and problems are contained in the back of the book).
• Includes over one hundred drawings that illustrate concepts under discussion.
• Provides the information needed to become conversant in the techniques of GD&T and how to smoothly integrate this knowledge into engineering design and modern inspection systems.
