Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing in 2007

Unlike any book on GD&T before it, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing in 2007 covers the basics, advanced applications, tolerance stack-up analysis, statistical tolerancing, variables data collection, and functional gaging and fixturing. It is the most comprehensive GD&T book ever written by a single author. Although based on the rules found in the ASME Y14.5 standard, it also covers topics from other recently published standards by ASME not found in older texts. It includes step-by-step procedures for dimensioning and tolerancing parts and assemblies. It shows how to analyze the tolerances applied using both worst case and statistical analysis. This book demonstrates the connection between the application of functional geometric tolerances and its effect on manufacturability and inspection, stressing optimal ways to achieve a high-quality product at the lowest possible cost to the customer.
