Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD & T) (Basic Practical Training Session)

Course outline

2 days

Duration

2 days

Overview

A Workshop that on methods to calculate the mechanical design of parts and acceptable tolerances for better products. It is not an Inspection and Design course. The workshop helps the participants to perform the proper procedures on interpretation of Dimensioning, Tolerances and Engineering Drawings. References on ANSI Y 14.5-1973, ANSI Y 14.5M – 1982 and ASME Y 14.5 M-2009 will be discussed in detail for practical application.

Target Audiences

All Personnel who involve in Design and Interpretation of Mechanical Drawings.

Objectives

This session enable the participants to:
