PPT 122 - Geometric Dimensioning/Tolerancing/Precision Fit



5.0 Credits
This course introduces apprentice plastic process technicians to principles of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) governed by the ASME Y14.5 standard. Apprentices will learn to identify and interpret each of the GD&T controls for form, profile, orientation, location, and runout. Apprentices will learn to interpret symbols, datums, basic dimensions, material condition modifiers, and other GD&T concepts that are essential for the plastic process technician. Hands-on activities will emphasize interpreting GD&T found on engineering drawings, as well as the setup, measuring, and inspection of a part or features with geometric tolerancing. Note: This class is part of an AJAC apprenticeship program.
Prerequisite PPT 102.
Course-level Learning Objectives (CLOs)
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Define and explain the purpose of geometric tolerancing.
  2. Interpret geometric tolerances and symbols on drawings, including form, orientation, location, profile, and runout tolerances.
  3. Describe and interpret the ASME Y14.5 — 2009 standard used for dimensioning and tolerancing.
  4. Demonstrate use of reference guides, standards books, and other resources to research information about geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.
  5. Interpret standard limits and fits between mating parts.
  6. Interpret datum feature and datum target symbols.
  7. Interpret material condition, material boundary, and other modifying symbols.
  8. Interpret surface geometric controls and axis geometric controls.
  9. Determine geometric tolerances for produced sizes at RFS, MMC, and LMC, as well as bonus tolerancing.
  10. Apply geometric dimensioning and tolerancing information to determine proper setup, manufacturing methods, and inspection of a part.
