Coordinating and integrating these techniques into and via computer graphics and other electronic data systems for design, manufacture, Verification, and similar processes is also a prime objective. Incorporating this Standard as a vehicle to assist the United States’ active participation and competitiveness in the world marketplace is a major goal. The emergence of priorities ‘on total quality management, world-class engineering, and emphasis on compatibility with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9000 series of quality standards has had a significant influence in the work of the Y14.5 Subcommittee. ‘This revision was initiated immediately after the official release of ANSI Y14.5M- 1982 in December 1982 in response to deferred comments from that revision, new conceptual developments, new symbology, and intemational standards expansion. ‘Twenty-three Subcommitice meetings and numerous working group meetings of the ASME Y14.5 Subcommittee were convened during the developmental period. The meet- ings were held in various cities around the United States. The Subcommittee’s work was coordinated as much as possible with other related ASME committees and other standard developing bodies that share a common purpose on dimensioning and tolerancing or related standards, Particularly close alliance and liaison were sought with the ASME B89 Committee on “Dimensional Metrology.” and new committees ASME Y14.5.1 on “Mathematical Definition of Y14.5,” and ASME Y14.5.2 on “Certification of GD&T OF high priority was the continuing United States participation in the development of 1SO standards through its U.S. member body, the American National Standards Institute (ANSD. Some members of the Y14.5 Subcommittee have attended and participated in ‘numerous international meetings and activities during and since the last revision of this Standard. Meetings were attended in Paris, France (1981), West Berlin, Germany (1982), New York City, New York (1984), West Berlin, Germany (1987), Zurich, Switzerland (1989), Orlando, Florida (1991), and Carmel, California (1992). United States delegates, hhave served as members and conveners of Working Groups, chaired some TC1O/SCS ili international meetings and have participated in all ISO standards projects on the subject of dimensioning and tolerancing during this period. In addition to past participation in developing and maintaining all of such ISO stan- dards as ISO 5458, ISO 5459, ISO 2692, ISO 3040, ISO TR 5460, ISO 1660, ISO 406, 1SO 129, ISO 8015, and ISO 7083, U.S. delegates have also participated in all new ISO standards development projects. U.S. delegates have provided convenership (chairman- ship) to the development of IS0/2692: 1988 DAM] on “Least Material Condition,” ISO 10578 on “Projected Tolerance Zone,” and ISO 10579 on “Nonrigid Parts.” Current projects related to the revision of ISO 1101, “Technical Drawings. Geometrical Toleranc- ing” and ISO 5458, “Positional Tolerancing” also have participation and input by U.S. delegates. Current new work on a revision to ISO 2692 includes consideration of the “principle of reciprocity” (symbol @®) that was originally put forth by the U.S. and Japan in the early 1970's as a proposed standard. It was considered by some countries to be premature for inclusion then and zero positional tolerancing was adopted as a near substitute, As a recent significant development, the United States, through its member body, ANSI, has received the ISO/TCIO/SCS Secretariat. Thus, the U.S. inherits the world leadership for standards development on “Technical drawings, product definition and related documentation, geometrical dimensioning and tolerancing.” Work will continue ‘on maintenance of existing standards and the development of new standards related to geometrical tolerancing ‘The conflict in principle regarding limits of size between the “envelope principle” (Taylor Principle, Rule #1) and the “independency principle” continues, although some- ‘what abated. Issuance of ISO 8015:1985, “Technical Drawings-Fundamental Tolerancing Principle,” features the independency principle but allows the option of the envelope principle by either reference to a national standard (for example, ASME Y14.5M-1994) on the drawing, or by invoking the symbol ©. The Y14.5 Standard continues to advocate and use the envelope principle (boundary of perfect form at MMC of the individual feature) that has been traditionally used in the U.S. and widely accepted elsewhere. ‘The least material condition © concept is expanded. More complete coverage on this subject is to be considered in future revisions as the state of the art progresses. Significant steps are taken in this revision to resolve some long-standing differences between the Y14.5 and ISO practices. As U.S. delegates also play a significant role in the development and maintenance at the level of international standards, these differences are eventually tempered and resolved by a merging of these dual objectives. In addition, some long-range planning by the Y14.5 activity has also now materialized in the transi- tion to eliminating these differences. Two significant changes found in this revision are adoption and extension of the universal datum feature symbol and discontinuance of the ‘use of the RFS symbol @). Other changes, additions, extensions of principles, and resol tion of differences are listed in Appendix A, “Principal Changes and Improvements.” ‘The technical expertise and experience of the Y14.5 Subcommittee are provided by ‘the dedicated interests and resources of its personnel. Its members represent a broad cross section of U.S. industry, the Department of Defense (DOD), educational institu- tions, national laboratories, professional societies, and members of the private sector. ‘The Subcommittee encourages participation by all and works diligently to achieve a consensus on all matters. It seeks a balance between past practices, state of the art, ‘national and international standards, new technology, computer and electronic integration, ‘and most importantly, the understandability of the technical data contained in the Stan- dard itself. Since members are also users of the Standard, a “jury of peers” is constantly present to ensure, as well as possible, that all voices are heard and satisfactory compro- imises are made in the interests of all users. Through the due process of final approval procedures via ASME, ANSI, DOD, and public review, the Standard achieves its final ‘make-up as the result of the voluntary consensus standard system. ‘The expansion and extension of principles of the composite positional tolerancing concept occupied a sizable segment of the Subcommittee’s time and resources during this revision. This valuable concept, originally born out of need for a convenient method to state two requirements together for a pattem of features, one the “pattern-locating tolerance” (larger tolerance) and the other the “feature-relating tolerance” (smaller toler- ance), gave Tise to the need for further clarification and coverage in this revision. As these principles are extended from the original examples, first introduced in ANSI Y14.5- 1973, varying interpretations are possible where a secondary datum feature is added to the feature-elating tolerance zone frame. Since the original coverage in ANSI Y14.5- 1973 made no attempt to indicate clearly an interpretation representing this extension of principle, varied applications and interpretations have occurred during the interim, each supposedly having some support from the original Standard example and text. ANSI Y¥14.5M-1982 repeated the same examples, added two figures (Figs. 142 and 143), and ‘made a slight change of words in the text. The changes and additions in this revision ‘eventually highlighted the areas of question and the Subcommittee debated this issue ‘with many prolonged and in-depth discussions. As a result, the composite tolerancing text and figures have now been expanded to enhance and clarify applicability. To effect this clarification and expansion, and to “set the standard,” an explicit meaning has been assigned to the feature relating tolerance frame for composite positional tolerancing con- trol. The feature-relating tolerance can no longer be interpreted as including location of the pattern. Section 5 clarifies the application of composite tolerancing and contrasts it ‘with the use of two single-segment feature control frames. Since profile composite tolerancing is now also introduced into the Standard, its fea- ture-relating tolerance frame likewise controls the orientation of the profile to the datums without regard to the basic dimensions that locate the profile. Section 6 further explains the details of composite profile tolerancing. ‘Although the continuity and stability of the technical content of the Standard are paramount, numerous changes, additions, and clarifications have taken place in this revision. To meet the objectives and purposes of the Standard as before referenced, it ‘must remain dynamic and is, thus, subject to modification as deemed necessary. For help in using this Standard and to isolate those areas and subjects involving any changes or additions of consequence, refer to Appendix A. A detailed compendium of changes and additions is provided. ‘Suggestions for improvement of this Standard will be welcomed. They should be sent to The American Society of Mechanical Engineers; Attention: Secretary, Y14 Main Committee; 345 East 47th Street; New York, NY 10017.

This Section estab- lishes definitions, fundamental rules, and practices for general dimensioning that apply to coordinate as ‘well as geometric dimensioning methods. For toler- ancing practices, see Sections 2 through 6. 41.1.2 Units. The International System of Units (SI) is featured in this Standard because SI units are expected to supersede United States (U.S.) custom- ary units specified on engineering drawings. Custom- ary units could equally well have been used without prejudice to the principles established. 1.1.3 Reference to this Standard. Where draw- ings are based on this Standard, this fact shall be noted on the drawings or in a document referenced fon the drawings. References to this Standard shall state ASME Y14.5M-1994. 1.1.4 Figures, The figures in this Standard are intended only as illustrations to aid the user in under- standing the principles and methods of dimensioning ‘and tolerancing described in the text. The absence of 4 figure illustrating the desired application is neither reason to assume inapplicability, nor basis for draw- ing rejection. In some instances, figures show added detail for emphasis. In other instances, figures arc incomplete by intent. Numerical values of dimen- sions and tolerances are illustrative only.

See Figs. 2-9 through 2-12. I 1.3.3 Datum. A theoretically exact point, axis, or plane derived from the true geometric counterpart of a specified datum feature, A datum is the origin from which the location or geometric characteristics of features of a part are established. 1.3.4 Datum Feature. An actual feature of a part that is used to establish # datum. 1.3.5 Datum Feature Simulator. A surface of adequately precise form (such as a surface plate, a gage surface, or a mandrel) contacting the datum. feature(s) and used to establish the simulated datum(s). NOTE: Simulated datum features are used asthe practical em bodiment ofthe dams during manufacre and inspection 1.3.6 Datum, Simulated, A point, axis, or plane established by processing or inspection equipment, such as the following simulators: a surface plate, a gage surface, or a mandrel. See paras. 4.4.1. and I 442. 1.3.7 Datum Target. A specified point, line, or area on a part used to establish a datum, I 1.3.8 Dimension. A numerical value expressed in appropriate units of measure and used to define the size, location, geometric characteristic, or surface texture of a part of part feature 1.3.9 Dimension, Basic. A numerical value used to describe the theoretically exact size, profile orien- tation, or location of a feature or datum target. See Fig. 3-7. Itis the basis from which permissible varia- tions are established by tolerances on other dimen- sions, in notes, or in feature control frames. See Figs. 2-14, 2-15, and 3-25, 1.3.10 Dimension, Reference. A dimension, usually without tolerance, used for information pur- poses only. A reference dimension is a repeat of a dimension or is derived from other values shown on. the drawing or on related drawings. It is considered auxiliary information and does not govern production or inspection operations. See Figs. 1-17 and 1-18. 1.3.11 Envelope, Actual Mating. This term is defined according to the type of feature, as follows: (a) For an External Feature. & similar perfect feature counterpart of smallest size that can be cir- ‘cumscribed about the feature so that it just contacts the surface at the highest points. For example, a smallest cylinder of perfect form or two parallel DIMENSIONING AND TOLERANCING planes of perfect form at minimum separation that just contact(s) the highest points of the surface(s). For features controlled by orientation or positional tolerances, the actual mating envelope is oriented rel- ative to the appropriate datum(s), for example, per- pendicular to a primary datum plane. (b) For an Internal Feature. A similar perfect fea- ture counterpart of largest size that can be inscribed within the feature so that it just contacts the surface at the highest points. For example, a largest cylinder of perfect form or two parallel planes of perfect form at maximum separation that just contact(s) the high- est points of the surface(s). For features controlled by orientation or positional tolerances, the actual mating envelope is oriented rel- ative to the appropriate datums). 1.3.12 Feature. The general term applied to a physical portion of a part, such as a surface, pin, tab, hole, or slot. 1.3.13 Feature, Axis Of.

The cross section center points are determined as per ANSI B89.3.1 1.3.17 Feature of Size. One cylindrical or spher- ical surface, or a set of two opposed elements or ‘opposed parallel surfaces, associated with a size dimension. 1.3.18 Full Indicator Movement (FIM). The to- tal movement of an indicator where appropriately applied to a surface to measure its variations. 1.3.19 Least Material Condition (LMC). The condition in which a feature of size contains the least amount of material within the stated limits of size — for example, maximum hole diameter, minimum shaft diameter. ASME Y14.5M-1904 1.3.20 Maximum Material Condition (MMC). The condition in which a feature of size contains the maximum amount of material within the stated limits of size — for example, minimum hole diameter, maximum shaft diameter. 1.3.21 Plane, Tangent. A theoretically exact plane derived from the true geometric counterpart of the specified feature surface. 1.3.22 Regardless of Feature Size (RFS). The term used to indicate that a geometric tolerance or datum reference applies at any increment of size of the feature within its size tolerance. 1.3.23 Resultant Condition. The variable boundary generated by the collective effects of a size feature’s specified MMC or LMC material condition, the geometric tolerance for that material condition, the size tolerance, and the additional geometric toler- ance derived from the feature’s departure from its specified material condition. See Figs. 2-9 through 212, 1.3.24 Size, Actual. The general term forthe size of a produced feature. This term includes the actual mating size and the actual local sizes. 1.3.25 Size, Actual Local. The value of any indi- vidual distance at any cross section of a feature. 1.3.26 Size, Actual Mating. The dimensional value of the actual mating envelope. 1.3.27 Size, Limits Of.

The general term applied to the category of tolerances used to control form, profile, orientation, location, and runout, 1.3.34 Tolerance, Unilateral. A tolerance in ‘ASME Y14.5M-1994 which variation is permitted in one direction from the specified dimension. 1.3.35 True Geometric Counterpart. The theo- retically perfect boundary (virtual condition or actual mating envelope) or best-fit (tangent) plane of a specified datum feature. See Figs. 4-11 and 4-10.

A constant boundary ‘generated by the collective effects of a size feature’s specified MMC or LMC material condition and the ‘geometric tolerance for that material condition. See Figs. 2-9 through 2-12. 1.4 FUNDAMENTAL RULES Dimensioning and tolerancing shall clearly define engineering intent and shall conform to the following, (a) Each dimension shall have a tolerance, except for those dimensions specifically identified as refer- fence, maximum, minimum, or stock (commercial stock size). The tolerance may be applied directly to the dimension (or indirectly in the case of basic dimensions), indicated by a general note, or located in a supplementary block of the drawing format, See ANSI Y14.1 (b) Dimensioning and tolerancing shall be com- plete so there is full understanding of the characteris- tics of each feature. Neither scaling (measuring the size of a feature directly from an engineering draw- ing) nor assumption of a distance or size is permitted, except as follows: Undimensioned drawings, such as, loft, printed wiring, templates, and master layouts prepared on stable material, are excluded provided the necessary control dimensions are specified. (c) Each necessary dimension of an end product shall be shown. No more dimensions than those nec- essary for complete definition shall be given. The use of reference dimensions on a drawing should be minimized, (d) Dimensions shall be selected and arranged to suit the function and mating relationship of a part and shall not be subject to more than one interpretation. (e) The drawing should define a part without specifying manufacturing methods. Thus, only the diameter of a hole is given without indicating ‘whether itis to be drilled, reamed, punched, or made by any other operation. However, in those instances DIMENSIONING AND TOLERANCING | where manufacturing, processing, quality assurance, or environmental information is essential to the defi nition of engineering requirements, it shall be speci fied on the drawing or in a document referenced on the drawing. (P It is permissible to identify as nonmandatory certain processing dimensions that provide for finish allowance, shrink allowance, and other requirements, provided the final dimensions are given on the draw. ing. Nonmandatory processing dimensions shall be identified by an appropriate note, sch as NON- MANDATORY (MFG DATA). (g) Dimensions should be arranged to provide re quired information for optimum readability. Dimen- sions should be shown in true profile views and refer to visible outlines. (h) Wires, cables, sheets, rods, and other materials. ‘manufactured to gage or code numbers shall be spec ified by linear dimensions indicating the diameter or thickness. Gage or code numbers may be shown in parentheses following the dimension. (i) A 90° angle applies where center lines and lines depicting features are shown on a drawing at right angles and no angle is specified. See para. 24.12. G) A 90° basic angle applies where center lines of features in a pattem or surfaces shown at right angles on the drawing are located or defined by basic dimensions and no angle is specified. (k) Unless otherwise specified, all dimensions are applicable at 20°C (68°F). Compensation may be ‘made for measurements made at other temperatures. (¥) All dimensions and tolerances apply in a free state condition. This principle does not apply to non- rigid parts as defined in paras. 2.7.1.3(b) and 6.8. (m) Unless otherwise specified, all geometric tol- cerances apply for full depth, length, and width of the feature. (n) Dimensions and tolerances apply only at the drawing level where they are specified. A dimension specified for a given feature on one level of drawing, (for example, a detail drawing) is not mandatory for that feature at any other level (for example, an as- sembly drawing). 1.5 UNITS OF MEASUREMENT For uniformity, all dimensions in this Standard are ‘given in SI units. However, the unit of measurement selected should be in accordance with the policy of the user. 1.5.1 SI (Metric) Linear Units. The commonly 1 DIMENSIONING AND TOLERANCING used SI linear unit used on engineering drawings is the millimeter. 1.5.2 U.S. Customary Linear Units. The com- monly used U.S. customary linear unit used on engi- neering drawings is the decimal inch. 1.5.3 Identification of Linear Units. On draw- ings where all dimensions are either in millimeters or inches, individual identification of linear units is not required. However, the drawing shall contain a note stating UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, ‘ALL DIMENSIONS ARE IN MILLIMETERS (or IN INCHES, as applicable) 1.5.3.1 Combination SI (Metric) and U. Customary Linear Units. Where some inch di- mensions are shown on a millimeter-dimensioned drawing, the abbreviation IN. shall follow the inch values. Where some millimeter dimensions are shown on an inch-dimensioned drawing, the symbol ‘mm shall follow the millimeter values 1.5.4 Angular Units. Angular dimensions are ex- pressed in either degrees and decimal parts of a de- gree or in degrees, minutes, and seconds. These latter ‘dimensions are expressed by symbols: for degrees °, for minutes *, and for seconds ". Where degrees are indicated alone, the numerical value shall be fol- owed by the symbol. Where only minutes or seconds are specified, the number of minutes or seconds shall be preceded by 0° or 0°0', as applicable. See Fig 1. 1.6 TYPES OF DIMENSIONING Decimal dimensioning shall be used on drawings except where certain commercial commodities are identified by standardized nominal designations, such as pipe and lumber sizes. 1.6.1 Millimeter Dimensioning. The following shall be observed where specifying millimeter di- ‘mensions on drawings: (a) Where the dimension is less than one millime- ter, a zero precedes the decimal point. See Fig. 1-2. (b) Where the dimension is a whole number, nei ther the decimal point nor a zero is shown. See Fig, 12. (c) Where the dimension exceeds a whole number by a decimal fraction of one millimeter, the last digit to the right of the decimal point is not followed by a zero. See Fig. 1-2. NOTE: This practice differs for tolerances expressed bilaterally (oF as limits.

For information on conversion and rounding of U.S. customary linear units, see ANSVIEEE 268. 1.7 APPLICATION OF DIMENSIONS i Dimensions are applied by means of dimension lines, extension lines, chain lines, or a leader from a dimension, note, or specification directed to the appropriate feature. See Fig. 1-4. General notes are used to convey additional information. For further information on dimension lines, extension lines, chain lines, and leaders, see ASME Y14.2M. 1.7.1 Dimension Lines. A dimension line, with its arrowheads, shows the direction and extent of a dimension, Numerals indicate the number of units of a measurement. Preferably, dimension lines should be broken for insertion of numerals as shown in Fig. 1-4, Where horizontal dimension lines are not bro- ken, numerals are placed above and parallel to the dimension lines. NOTE: The following shall not be used as a dimension line: 8 centerline, an extension line, a phantom line, line that is part Sf the cuine of the object, ora continuation of aay of these lines. dimension line is 91 sed asap extension line excep. where a simplified method of coordinate dimensioning is used {0 define curved outlines. See Fig. 1-33. 1.7.1.1 Alignment. Dimension lines shall be aligned if practicable and grouped for uniform ap- pearance. See Fig. 1-5. 1.7.1.2 Spacing. Dimension lines are drawn parallel to the direction of measurement.

Where there are several parallel dimension lines, the numerals should be staggered for easier reading. See Fig. 1-7. 1.7.1.3 Angle Dimensions. The dimension line of an angle is an arc drawn with its center at the apex of the angle. The arrowheads terminate at the extensions of the two sides. See Figs. 1-1 and 1-4. (3) FIG. 1-8 OBLIQUE EXTENSION LINES 1.7.1.4 Crossing Dimension Lines. Crossing dimension lines should be avoided. Where unavoid- able, the dimension lines are unbroken. 1.7.2 Extension (Projection) Lines. Extension lines are used to indicate the extension of a surface ‘or point to a location preferably outside the part out- line. See para 1.7.8. Extension lines start with a short visible gap from the outline of the part and extend beyond the outermost related dimension line. See Fig. 1-6. Extension lines are drawn perpendicular to dimension lines. Where space is limited, extension lines may be drawn at an oblique angle to clearly illustrate where they apply. Where oblique lines are used, the dimension lines are shown in the direction in which they apply. See Fig. 1-8. 1.7.2.1 Crossing Extension Lines. Wherever practicable, extension lines should neither cross one ‘another nor cross dimension lines. To minimize such crossings, the shortest dimension line is shown near- est the outline of the object. See Fig. 1-7. Where extension lines must cross other extension lines, di- mension lines, or lines depicting features, they are not broken, Where extension lines cross arrowheads or dimension lines close to arrowheads, a break in the extension line is permissible. See Fig. 1-9. 1.7.2.2 Locating Points. Where a point is lo- ccated by extension lines only, the extension lines from surfaces should pass through the point. See Fig 1-10. 1.7.3 Limited Length or Area Indication. Where it is desired to indicate that a limited length ASME Y14.5M-1004 DIMENSIONING AND Tovenanoncl [iz] FIG, 1.9 BREAKS IN EXTENSION LINES aa FIG. 1-10 POINT LOCATIONS (or area ofa surface is to receive additional treatment or consideration within limits specified on the draw- ing, the extent of these limits may be indicated by use of a chain line. See Fig. 1-11. 4.7.3.1 Chain Lines. In an appropriate view or section, a chain line is drawn parallel to the surface profile ‘at a short distance from it. Dimensions are added for length and location. If applied to a surface of revolution, the indication may be shown on one side only. See Fig. 1-11(2), 1.7.3.2 Omitting Chain Line Dimensions. If the chain line clearly indicates the location and extent of the surface area, dimensions may be omitted. See Fig. 1-100). 1.7.33 Area Indication Identification. ‘Where the desired area is shown on a direct view of the surface, the area is section lined within the chain line boundary and appropriately dimensioned. See Fig. 1-110). 1.7.4 Leaders (Loader Lines). A leader is used to direct a dimension, note, or symbol to the intended eK FIG. 1-11 LIMITED LENGTH OR AREA INDICATION place on the drawing. Normally, a leader terminates in an arrowhead. However, where itis intended f a leader to refer to a surface by ending within outline of that surface, the leader should terminate in a dot. A leader should be an inclined straight li except for a short horizontal portion extending to rid-height of the first or last leter or digit of note or dimension. Two ot more leaders to adjacent areas on the drawing should be drawn parallel ‘each other. See Fig. 1-12. 1.7.4.1 Leader Directed Dimensions. Leader directed dimensions are specified individu- ally to avoid complicated leaders. See Fig. 1-13. too many leaders would impair the legibility of the drawing, letters or symbols should be used to identify features. See Fig. 1-14. 1.7.4.2 Cirele and Arc. Where a leader is di- rected to a circle or an arc, its direction should radial. See Fig, 1-15. 1.7.5 Reading Direction.

Notes should be placed to read from the bottom of the drawing with regard to the orientation of the drawing format. 1.7.5.2 Dimensions. Dimensions shown with dimension lines and arrowheads should be placed to read from the bottom of the drawing. See Fig. 1-16. 1.7.5.3 Baseline Dimensioning. Baseline di- mensions are shown aligned to their extension lines and read from the bottom or right side of the draw- ing, See Fig, 1-49. 1.7.6 Reference Dimensions. The method for identifying a reference dimension (or reference data) ‘on drawings is to enclose the dimension (or data) within parentheses. See Figs. 1-17 and 1-18. 1.7.7 Overall Dimensions. Where an overall di- mension is specified, one intermediate dimension is omitted or identified as a reference dimension. See [ASME Y14.5M-1094 DIMENSIONNG AND ToLERANING J poe a7 n78, 3:0 FIG, 1-17 INTERMEDIATE REFERENCE DIMENSION a7, 78 3.10 FIG. 1-18 OVERALL REFERENCE DIMENSION Fig. 1-17, Where the intermediate dimensions are ‘more important than the overall dimension, the over- all dimension, if used, is identified as a reference dimension. See Fig. 1-18. 1.7.8 Dimensioning Within the Outline of a View. Dimensions are usually placed outside the outline of a view. Where directness of application ‘makes it desirable, or where extension lines or leader lines would be excessively long, dimensions may be placed within the outline of a view. 1.7.9 Dimensions Not to Scale. Agreement should exist between the pictorial presentation of a feature and its defining dimension, Where a change to a feature is made, the following, as applicable, must be observed. (a) Where the sole authority for the product defi- nition is a hard copy original drawing prepared either 10 FIG. 1-19 DIAMETERS, ‘manually or on an interactive computer graphics sys- tem, and it is mot feasible to update the pictorial view of the feature, the defining dimension is to be underlined with a straight thick line, (b) Where the sole authority for the product defi- nition is a dataset prepared on a computer graphics system, agreement shall be maintained between the defining dimension and the graphics presentation of the feature, in all views. The defining dimension and the true size, location, and direction of the feature shall always be in complete agreement. 1.8 DIMENSIONING FEATURES Various characteristics and features of parts re- quire unique methods of dimensioning. 1.8.1.Diameters. The diameter symbol precedes all diametrai values. See Fig. 1-19 and para. 3.3.7 ‘Where the diameter of a spherical feature is speci- fied, the diametral value is preceded by the spherical diameter symbol. See Fig. 3-8 and para. 3.3.7. Where the diameters of a number of concentric cylindrical features are specified, such diameters should be di- mensioned in a longitudinal view if practicable. 1.8.2 Radii. Each radius value is preceded by the appropriate radius symbol. See Figs. 1-20 and 3-8 and para. 3.3.7. A radius dimension line uses one arrowhead, at the arc end. An arowhead is never used at the radius center. Where location of the cen- ter is important and space permits, a dimension line is drawn from the radius center with the arrowhead touching the arc, and the dimension is placed be- tween the arrowhead and the center. Where space is limited, the dimension line is extended through the radius center. Where it is inconvenient to place the I DIMENSIONING AND TOLERANCING ‘ASME Y14.5M-1994 F190 me + a FIG. 1.20 RADI Rio. [rez] FIG. 1-22 RADII WITH UNLOCATED CENTERS |.

Where the center of a radius is not dimensionally located, the center shall not be indicated. See Fig. 1-20. .2.1 Center of Radius. Where a dimension is given to the center of a radius, a small cross is, drawn at the center. Extension lines and dimension lines are used to locate the center. See Fig. 1-21.

Where the radius dimension line is foreshortened and the center is located by coordinate dimensions, the dimension line locating the center is also foreshortened. 1.8.2.3 True Radius. Where a radius is dimen- sioned in a view that does not show the true shape of the radius, TRUE R is added before the radius dimension. See Fig. 1-24. 1.8.2.4 Multiple Radii. Where a part has a number of radii of the same dimension, a note may be used instead of dimensioning each radius separately. .8.2.5 Spherical Redii, Where a spherical surface is dimensioned by a radius, the radius dimen- sion is preceded by the symbol SR. See Fig. 1-25. 1.8.3 Chords, Ares, and Angles. The dimen- sioning of chords, arcs, and angles shall be as shown in Fig. 1-26. 1.8.4 Rounded Ends. Overall dimensions are ‘used for features having rounded ends. For fully rounded ends, the radii are indicated but not dimen- 12 FIG. 1-27 FULLY ROUNDED ENDS sone fo 121, ene is pay rounded ends, the radii are dimensioned. See Fig. 1.8.5 Rounded Comers. Where comers are rounded, dimensions define the edges, and the arcs are tangent. See Fig. 1-29. 1.8.6 Outlines Consisting of Arcs. A curved ‘outline composed of two or more arcs is dimensioned by giving the radii of all arcs and locating the neces- sary centers with coordinate dimensions. Other radii are located on the basis of their points of tangency. See Fig. 1-30. 1.8.7 Irregular Outlines. Inegular outlines may be dimensioned as shown in Figs. 1-31 and 1-32. Circular or noncircular outlines may be dimensioned by the rectangular coordinate or offset method.

Coordinates are dimensioned from base lines. Where many coordinates are required to define an outline, the vertical and horizontal coordinate di- mensions may be tabulated, as in Fig. 1-32. 1.8.7.1 Grid System. Curved pieces that rep- resent pattems may be defined by a grid system with ‘numbered grid lines. B FIG. 1.31 COORDINATE OR OFFSET OUTLINE x [2lefslales ¥_[4a[ea| ss |walzaa] _fia7] FIG. 1-32 TABULATED OUTLINE 1.8.8 Symmetrical Outlines. Symmetrical out- lines may be dimensioned on one side of the center line of symmetry. Such is the case where, due to the size of the part or space limitations, only part of the outline can be conveniently shown. See Fig. 1-33. One-half the outline of the symmetrical shape is shown and symmetry is indicated by applying sym- bols for part symmetry to the center line. See ASME, Y142M. ASME Y14.5M-1994 73 3 6 a] 7a FIG, 1-32 SYMMETRICAL OUTLINES 9 Round Holes. Round holes are dimen- ed as shown in Fig. 1-34. Where itis not clear that a hole goes through, the abbreviation THRU follows a dimension. The depth dimension ofa blind hole is the depth of the full diameter from the outer surface of the part. Where the depth dimension is not clear, as from a curved surface, the depth should be dimensioned. For methods of specifying blind holes, see Fig. 1-34 1.8.10 Slotted Holes. Slotted holes are dimen- sioned as shown in Fig. 1-35. The end radii are indi- ccated but not dimensioned. 1.8.11 Counterbored Holes. Counterbored holes may be specified as shown in Fig. 1-36. Where the thickness of the remaining material has signifi- ccance, this thickness (rather than the depth) is dimen- sioned. For holes having more than one counterbore, see Fig. 1-37, 1.8.12 Countersunk and Counterdrilled Holes. For countersunk holes, the diameter and in- cluded angle of the countersink are specified. For counterdrilled holes, the diameter and depth of the counterdrill are specified. Specifying the included angle of the counterdrill is optional. See Fig. 1-38 The depth dimension isthe depth of the full diameter of the counterdril from the outer surface ofthe part. 18.121 Chamfered and Countersunk Holes on Curved Surfaces, Where a hole is cham- fered or countersunk on a curved surface, the diame- ter specified on the drawing applies at the minor diameter of the chamfer or countersink. See Fig. 1- 39. 4 DIMENSIONING AND new 1.8.13 Spotfaces. The diameter of the spotface area is specified. Either the depth or the ret thickness of material may be specified. See Fig. 1 40. A spotface may be specified by note only an need not be delineated on the drawing. If no depth or remaining thickness of material is specified, spotface is the minimum depth necessary to clean u the surface to the specified diameter. 1.8.14 Machining Centers. Where machinis centers are to remain on the finished part, they indicated by a note or dimensioned on the drawing ‘See ANSI B94.11M. 1.8.15 Chamfors. Chamfers are dimensioned a linear dimension and an angle, or by two linear dimensions. See Figs. 1-41 through 1-44. Where angle and a linear dimension are specified, the line dimension is the distance from the indicated surfac Of the part to the start of the chamfer. See Fig. 1-41 1.8.15.1 Chamfers Specified by Note. note may be used to specify 45° chamfers, as in Fig, 1-42. This method is used only with 45° chamfers, as the linear value applies in either direction. 15.2 Round Holes. Where the edge of a round hole is chamfered, the practice of para 1.8.15.1is followed, except where the chamfer diam] ter requires dimensional control. See Fig. 1-43. Thi type of control may also be applied to the chamfer diameter on a shaft, 1.8.15.3 intersecting Surfaces. ve cunll fers are required for surfaces intersecting at other than right angles, the methods shown in Fig. 1 are used. 1.8.16 Keyseats. Keyseats are dimensioned by ‘width, depth, location, and if required, length. The depth is dimensioned from the opposite side of shaft or hole. See Fig. 1-45. 1.8.17 Knurling. Knurling is specified in i | of type, pitch, and diameter before and after knurlin Where control is not required, the diameter after knurling is omitted. Where only a portion of af requires knurling, axial dimensioning is provi See Fig. 1-46, 1.8.17.1 Knurling for Press Fit. Where quired to provide a press fit between parts, knurlin is specified by a note that includes the type of knur] required, its pitch, the toleranced diameter of the fea ture before knurling, and the minimum acceptabl diameter after knurling.

See Figs. 1-49 and 1-50. 1.9.3 Tabular Dimensioning. Tabular dimen- sioning is a type of rectangular coordinate dimen- sioning in which dimensions from mutually perpen- dicular planes are listed in a table on the drawing, tather than on the pictorial delineation. See Fig. 1- 50. This method is used on drawings that require the location of a large number of similarly shaped features.

DIMENSIONING AND TOLERANCING ASME Y14.5M-1904 2 General Tolerancing and Related Principles 2.1 GENERAL This Section establishes practices for expressing tolerances on linear and angular dimensions, applica- bility of material condition modifiers, and interpreta- tions governing limits and tolerances. ‘CAUTION: If CAD/CAM database models are used and they do ‘ot include tolerances, then tolerances must be expressed ouside ofthe database to reflect desig requirements 2.1.1 Application, Tolerances may be expressed as follows: (a) as direct limits or as tolerance values applied directly to a dimension (see para. 2.2); (b) as a geometric tolerance, as described in Sec- tions 5 and 6; (c) in a note referring to specific dimensions; (d) as specified in other documents referenced on the drawing for specific features or processes; (e) in a general tolerance block referring to all dimensions on a drawing for which tolerances are not otherwise specified; see ANSI Y14.1 2.1.1.1 Positional Tolerancing Method. Preferably, tolerances on dimensions that locate fea- tures of size are specified by the positional toleranc- ing method described in Section 5. In certain cases, such as locating irregular-shaped features, the profile tolerancing method described in Section 6 may be used. 2.1.1.2 Implied 90° Angle. By convention, where center lines and surfaces of features of a part are depicted on engineering drawings intersecting at right angles, 2 90° angle is not specified. Implied 90° angles are understood to apply.

Typical examples of notes are the following: (a) DIMENSIONAL LIMITS APPLY AFTER PLATING. (6) DIMENSIONAL LIMITS APPLY BEFORE PLATING. (or processes other than plating, substitute the appropriate term.) 2.8 SINGLE LIMITS MIN or MAX jis placed after a dimension where other elements of the design definitely determine the ‘other unspecified limit. Features, such as depths of holes, lengths of threads, comer radii, chamfers,etc., may be limited in this way. Single limits are used where the intent will be clear, and the unspecified imit can be zero or approach infinity and will not result in a condition detrimental to the design. 2.6 TOLERANCE ACCUMULATION Figure 2-4 compares the tolerance values resulting from three methods of dimensioning. (a) Chain Dimensioning. The maximum variation between two features is equal tothe sum of the toler- ances on the intermediate distances; this results in the greatest tolerance accumulation. In Fig. 2-4(a), the tolerance accumulation between surfaces X and Y is 40.15. (b) Base Line Dimensioning. The maximum vari- ation between two features is equal to the sum of the tolerances on the two dimensions from their origin to the features; this results in a reduction of the toler- ance accumulation. In Fig. 2-4(b), the tolerance accu- ‘mulation between surfaces X and Y is 20.1 (c) Direct Dimensioning. The maximum variation between two features is controlled by the tolerance on the dimension between the features; this results in the least tolerance. In Fig. 2-4(c), the tolerance between surfaces X and ¥ is 20.05. ‘ASME Y14.5M-1904 DIMENSIONING AND Tousranconl j= 1020.05--4620, vee 102005 (4) Chain dimensioning ~ ‘sccumolation between X and Y. -}-—_—_ 8: .0s x {() Base tne dimensioning -esser tolerance {tccumulation between X ane ¥. f+ 282006. b— 1620.05 —a} eer y x 262008.

In certain cases, it is necessary to indicate that ‘a dimension between two features shall originate from one of these features and not the other. The hhigh points of the surface indicated as the origin define a plane for measurement. The dimensions re- lated to the origin are taken from the plane or axis and define a zone within which the other features must lie. This concept does not establish a datum reference frame as described in Section 4. Such a case is illustrated in Fig. 2-5, where a part having 6 THIS ON THE DRAWING ret04 a WEANS THIS sare] er vee ———— ea i ne Indicated origin plane NOT THIS Longer surtace ‘ed as the origin te: 28 mame oweson ure 0a onl oe pant ss of meat mg oll mounted on the shorter surface. In this example, the dimension origin symbol described in para. 3.3.1 signifies thatthe dimension originates from the pl established by the shorter surface and dimensional limits apply to the other surface. Without such indi cation, the longer surface could have been selected the origin, thus permitting a greater angular variation 2.7 LIMITS OF SIZE between surfaces, I Unless otherwise specified, the limits of size of feature prescribe the extent within which variation of geometric form, as well as size, are allowed. This control applies solely to individual features of si as defined in para. 1.3.17. 2.7.1 Individual Feature of Size (Rule #1). Where nly oerance of sie specified, he ie of size of an individual feature prescribe the ext to which variations in its geometric form, as well as size, are allowed.

The actual local size of an individual feature at each cross section shall be within the specified tolerance of size. 2.7.1.2 Variations of Form (Envelope Prin- ciple). The form of an individual feature is con- trolled by its limits of size to the extent prescribed in the following paragraphs and illustrated in Fig. 26. (a) The surface or surfaces of a feature shall not extend beyond a boundary (envelope) of perfect form. at MMC. This boundary is the true geometric form represented by the drawing. No variation in form is permitted if the feature is produced at its MMC limit, of size except as specified in para. 6.4.1.1.2. (b) Where the actual local size of a feature has departed from MMC toward LMC, a variation in form is allowed equal to the amount of such departure. (c). There is no requirement for a boundary of per- fect form at LMC. Thus, a feature produced at its LMC limit of size is permitted to vary from true form to the maximum variation allowed by the boundary of perfect form at MMC. 2.7.1.3 Form Control Does Not Apply (Ex- ceptions to Rule #1). The control of geometric form prescribed by limits of size does not apply to the following: (a) stock, such as bars, sheets, tubing, structural shapes, and other items produced to established in- 7 dustry or government standards that prescribe limits for straightness, flatness, and other geometric charac- teristics. Unless geometric tolerances are specified fon the drawing of a part made from these items, standards for these items govern the surfaces that remain in the as-furnished condition on the finished part. (®) parts subject to free state variation in the unre- strained condition. See para. 6.8. 2.7.2 Perfect Form at MMC Not Required. Where itis desired to permit a surface or surfaces of a feature to exceed the boundary of perfect form at MMC, a note such as PERFECT FORM AT MMC. NOT REQD is specified, exempting the pertinent size dimension from the provision of para. 2.7.1.2(a). 2.7.3 Relationship Between Individual Fea- tures. The limits of size do not control the orienta- tion or location relationship between individual fea- tures, Features shown perpendicular, coaxial, or symmetrical to each other must be controlled for lo- cation of orientation to avoid incomplete drawing requirements. These controls may be specified by ‘one of the methods given in Sections 5 and 6. If it is necessary to establish a boundary of perfect form ‘at MMC to control the relationship between features, the following methods are used. (a) Specify a zero tolerance of orientation at MMC, including a datum reference (at MMC if ap- ASME Y14.6M-1994 plicable), to control angularity, perpendicularity, or parallelism of the feature. See para. 6.6.1.2 (b) Specify a zero positional tolerance at MMC, including a datum reference (at MMC if applicable) to control coaxial or symmetrical features. See paras. S.11.13 and 5.13.2. () Indicate this control for the features involved by a note such as PERFECT ORIENTATION (or COAXIALITY or LOCATION OF SYMMETRICAL FEATURES) AT MMC REQUIRED FOR RE- LATED FEATURES. (d) Relate dimensions to a datum reference frame by a local or general note indicating datum prece- dence. See para. 4.4, The noted dimensions define only the maximum material condition envelope re- lated to the datum reference frame defined by the datums. For LMC, see para. 2.7.1.2(¢) 2.8 APPLICABILITY OF RFS, MMC, AND LMC Applicability of RES, MMC, and LMC is limited to features subject to variations in size. They may be datum features or other features whose axes or center planes are controlled by geometric tolerances. In the case of straightness covered in paras. 6.4.1.1.2 and 64.1.1.3 it is the derived median line and the de- rived median plane, rather than the axis and center plane that are controlled. In all cases, the fol practices apply for indicating RFS, MMC, and LMC: (a) All Applicable Geometric Tolerances (Rule #2), RFS applies, with respect to the individual toler~ ance, datum reference, or both, where no modifying symbol is specified. MMC or LMC must be specified on the drawing where it is required. NOTE: Circular runout, ota runout, concentrcity and symmetry ‘are applicable only on an RES basis and cannot be modified (0 MME or LMC. (b) Alternative Practice. For a tolerance of posi- tion (Rule #2a), RFS may be specified on the draw- ‘ng with respect to the individual tolerance, datum reference, or both, as applicable, See Appendix D ig, D-1). 2.8.1 Effect of RFS. Where a geometric tolerance is applied on an RFS basis, the specified tolerance is independent of the actual size of the considered feature. The tolerance is limited to the specified value regardless of the actual size of the feature. Likewise, referencing a datum feature on an RFS basis means that a centering about its axis or center plane is nec- essary, regardless of the actual size of the feature. 2.8.2 Effect of MMC. Where a geometric toler- 8 ance is applied on an MMC basis, the allowed toler ance is dependent on the actual mating size of considered feature. The tolerance is limited to specified value if the feature is produced at its MM limit of size. Where the actual mating size of the feature has departed from MMC, an increase in 4 tolerance is allowed equal to the amount of suc departure. The total permissible variation in the spe- cific geometric characteristic is maximum oy DIMENSIONING AND TOLERANCI feature is at LMC. Likewise, referencing a feature on an MMC basis means the datum is axis or center plane of the feature at the MMC limit Where the actual mating size of the datum fea has departed from MMC, a deviation is allowed tween its axis or center plane and the axis or center plane of the datum. 2.8.3 Effect of Zero Tolerance at MMC, Wher a tolerance of position or orientation is applied on a zero tolerance at MMC basis, the tolerance is totally dependent on the actual mating size of the consi feature. No tolerance of position or orientation is allowed if the feature is produced at its MMC limi of size; and in this case, it must be located at position or be perfect in orientation, as applicable. ‘Where the actual mating size of the considered fea ture has departed from MMC, a tolerance is allowe equal to the amount of such departure. The total per missible variation in position or orientation is maxi- mum when the feature is at LMC, unless a maximu is specified. See Figs. 6-41 and 6-42. 2.8.4 Effect of LMC. Where a positional tol ance is applied on an LMC basis, the allowed tole ance is dependent on the actual mating size of considered feature. The tolerance is limited to the specified value if the feature is produced at its LM limit of size. Where the actual mating size of feature has departed from LMC, an increase in the tolerance is allowed equal to the amount of = departure. The total permissible variation in positi is maximum when the feature is at MMC. Likewise, referencing a datum feature on an LMC basis means the datum is the axis or center plane of the fe at the LMC limit. Where the actual mating size of ddatum feature has departed from LMC, a deviation is, allowed between its axis or center plane and the axi or center plane of the datum, Effect of Zero Tolerance at LMC. Where a tolerance of position or orientation is applied on zero tolerance at LMC basis, the tolerance is totally ‘dependent on the size of the considered feature. No tolerance of position or orientation is allowed if, "| DIMENSIONING AND TOLERANCING feature is produced at its LMC limit of size: and in this case, it must be located at true position or be perfect in orientation, as applicable. Where the actual ‘mating size of the considered feature has departed from LMC, a tolerance is allowed equal to the amount of such departure. The total permissible vari- ation in position or orientation is maximum when the feature is at MMC unless a maximum is specified. See Figs. 5-13, 5-14, and 6-42. 2.9 SCREW THREADS Each tolerance of orientation of position and da- tum reference specified for a screw thread applies to the axis of the thread derived from the pitch cylinder. ‘Where an exception to this practice is necessary, the specific feature of the screw thread (such as MAJOR DIA or MINOR DIA) shall be stated beneath the feature control frame, or beneath or adjacent to the ) Neate On RELAT PROFILE OF A SURFACE B_| ese ANGULARITY Z_ [ese I ontenranion | PERPENOIOWLANITY aaa PARALLELISM 7/_| 808 1 ron POSITION o [s Relsreo Features | Locarion | GONCENTRICITY © | sus SeMMeTaY 2 CIRCULAR RUNOUT Ao | ersas Il unout ; TOTAL RUNUT | era ABROWHEADS MAY BE FILLED OR NOT FILLED ca «= sD 2.8.6 Projected Tolerance Zone Symbol.

A geometric tol- crance for an individual feature is specified by means of a feature control frame divided into compartments containing the geometric characteristic symbol fol- owed by the tolerance. See Fig. 3-19. Where appli- ccable, the tolerance is preceded by the diameter sym- bol and followed by a material condition symbol. 3.4.2 Feature Control Frame Incorporating One Datum Reference, Where a geometric toler- ance is related to a datum, this relationship is indi- cated by entering the datum reference letter in a com- partment following the tolerance. Where applicable, the datum reference letter is followed by a material condition symbol. See Fig. 3-20. Where a datum is established by two datum features — for example, a REFERENCE an axis established by two datum diameters — both ‘datum reference letters, separated by a dash, are en- tered in a single compartment. Where applicable, each datum reference letter is followed by a material condition symbol. See Figs. 3-2I(a) and 4-19 and para. 4.5.7, 3.4.3 Feature Control Frame Incorporating ‘Two or Three Datum References. Where more than one datum is required, the datum reference let- ters (each followed by a material condition symbol, ‘where applicable) are entered in separate compart- ‘ments in the desired order of precedence, from left to right.

The ‘composite feature control frame contains a single en- try of the geometric characteristic symbol followed by each tolerance and datum requirement, one above the other. See Figs. 3-22(a) and paras. 5.4.1 and 659. 3.4.5 Two Single-Segment Feature Control Frames. The symbolic means of representing two single-segment feature control frames is shown in Fig. 3-22(b). Application of this control is described in para, 5.4.1.3. 3.4.6 Combined Feature Control Frame and Datum Feature Symbol. Where a feature or pat- tem of features controlled by a geometric tolerance also serves as a datum feature, the feature control frame and datum feature symbol are combined. See Fig, 3-23. Wherever a feature control frame and da- ‘tum feature symbol are combined, datums referenced in the feature control frame are not considered part of, the datum feature symbol. In the positional tolerance example, Fig. 3-23, a feature is controlled for posi- tion in relation to datums A and B, and identified as datum feature C. Whenever datum C is referenced elsewhere on the drawing, the reference applies 10 datum C, not to datums A’ and B. 3.4.7 Feature Control Frame With a Pro- jected Tolerance Zone.

Figure 5-24 shows an example of a radial hole pattern where the plane of the PLTZF is located from a datum face by a basic dimension. Where datum references are not specified in the lower segment of a composite feature control frame, the FRTZF is free to be located and oriented (shift and/or tilt) as governed by the toler- ance zones of the PLTZF. The same explanation given in para. 5.4.1 also applies to Fig. 5-24. With datum plane A referenced in the lower segment of the composite feature control frame, the tolerance zones of the FRTZF (as a group) are parallel to da- tum plane A and may be displaced as governed by the tolerance zones of the PLTZF. Figure 5-26 shows two single-segment feature control frames. These are used where itis desired to specify a need for a coaxi- ality relationship between the FRTZF and the PLTZF. A secondary datum reference is shown in the lower feature control frame, Figure 5-26(c) shows that the tolerance zones of the FRTZF are parallel to datum plane A and concentric about datum axis B. While remaining parallel and concentric, the FRIZF may be displaced rotationally, as govemed by the tolerance cylinders of the PLTZF. The axes of the features in the actual feature pattern may be displaced, individually or in concert, within the boundaries of the smaller tolerance cylinders. Por- tions of the smaller tolerance zones located outside the larger tolerance zones are not usable, since the actual feature axes must reside within the boundaries ‘of both zones. Where two single-segment feature control frames are used and it is desired to avoid a reorientation of the workpiece in mid-operation, the same datums in the same order of precedence are specified to apply in the upper and lower feature control frames. 5.4.1.7 Where Radial Location is Impor- ‘tant. The control shown in Figs. 5-25 and 5-27 may be specified where radial orientation is important, yet the design permits a feature-relating tolerance zone to be displaced within the bounds govemed by a ppattern-locating tolerance zone, while held parallel and perpendicular to the three mutually perpendicu- Jar planes of the datum reference frame. Difference Between Composite Po- sitional Tolerance and Two Single-Segment Feature Control Frames. Figure 5-29 explains the relationships of the FRTZF to the PLTZF established by a two-segment feature control frame having a sin- ale positional tolerance symbol (composite positional tolerance). Two different part configurations are shown for comparison. In contrast, Fig. 5-30 shows ASME Y14.5M-1994 $1 g025@|A[B@ [ears] us FIG. 6:23 POSITIONAL TOLERANCING WITH MULTIPLE SINGLE-SEGMENT FEATURE CONTROL FRAMES the relationships established by two single-segment feature control frames. 5.5 PROJECTED TOLERANCE ZONE ‘The application of this concept is recommended ‘where the Variation in perpendicularity of threaded or press-fit holes could cause fasteners, such as screws, studs, or pins, o interfere with mating parts. See Fig. 5-31. An interference can occur where a tolerance is specified for the location of a threaded or press-fit hole, and the hole is inclined within the positional limits. Unlike the floating fastener application in- volving clearance holes only, the attitude of a fixed fastener is governed by the inclination of the pro- duced hole into which it assembles. Figure 5-32 illus- trates how the projected tolerance zone concept real- istically treats the condition shown in Fig. 5-31. Note that itis the variation in perpendicularity of the por- tion of the fastener passing through the mating part that is significant. The location and perpendicularity of the threaded hole are only of importance insofar as they affect the extended portion of the engaging fastener. Where design considerations require a closer control in the perpendicularty of a threaded hole than that allowed by the positional tolerance, a perpendicularity tolerance applied as a projected tolerance zone may be specified. See Fig. 6-38. 5.5.1 Clearance Holes in Mating Parts. Speci- fying projected tolerance zone will ensure that fixed fasteners do not interfere with mating parts having clearance hole sizes determined by the formu- las recommended in Appendix B.

Figures 5-33 and 5-34 illus- trate the application of a positional tolerance using @ projected tolerance zone. The specified value for the Projected tolerance zone is a minimum and repre~ sents the maximum permissible mating part thick- ness, of the maximum installed length or height of the components, such as screws, studs, or dowel pins. See para. 5.5.3. The direction and height of the pro- jected tolerance zone are indicated as illustrated. The ‘minimum extent and direction of the projected toler- ance zone are shown in a drawing view as a dimen- sioned value with a heavy chain line drawn closely adjacent to an extension of the center line ofthe hole. 5.5.3 Stud and Pin Application. Where studs or press-fit pins are located on an assembly drawing, the specified positional tolerance applies only to the height of the projecting portion of the stud or pin after installation, and the specification of a projected tolerance zone is unnecessary. However, a projected tolerance zone is applicable where threaded or plain holes for studs or pins are located on a detail part drawing. In these cases, the specified projected height should equal the maximum permissible height of the stud or pin after installation, not the mating part thickness. See Fig. 5-35, 5.6 NONPARALLEL HOLES Positional tolerancing lends itself to patterns of holes where axes are not parallel to each other and where axes are not normal to the surface. See Fig. 5-36. 5.7 COUNTERBORED HOLES ‘Where positional tolerances are used to locate co- axial features, such as counterbored holes, the fol- lowing practices apply (a) Where the same positional tolerance is used to locate both holes and counterbores, a single feature control frame is placed under the callouts specifying hhole and counterbore requirements. See Fig. 5-37. Identical diameter tolerance zones for hole and coun- terbore are coaxially located at true position relative to the specified datums. (b) Where different positional tolerances are used to locate holes and counterbores (relative to common. datum features), two feature control frames are used. 13s ASME Y14.5M-1094 Minimum tolerance zone height Ie equal to. ‘maximum pin height FIG, $35 PROJECTED TOLERANCE ZONE APPLIED FOR ‘STUDS OR DOWEL PINS. One feature control frame is placed under the callout specifying hole requirements and the other under the callout specifying counterbore requirements. See Fig. 5-38. Different diameter tolerance zones for hole and Counterbore are coaxially located at true position rel- ative to the specified datums. (c) Where positional tolerances are used to locate holes and to control individual counterbore-to-hole relationships (relative to different datum features), two feature control frames are used as in (b) above. In addition, a note is placed under the datum feature symbol for the hole and under the feature control frame for the counterbore, indicating the number of places each applies on an individual basis. See Fig. 5-39. 5.8 CLOSER CONTROL AT ONE END OF A FEATURE Where design permits, different positional toler- ances may be specified for the extremities of long holes; this establishes a conical rather than a cylindri- cal tolerance zone. See Fig. 5-40. 5.9 BIDIRECTIONAL POSITIONAL ‘TOLERANCING OF FEATURES. Where it is desired to specify a greater tolerance {in one direction than another, bidirectional positional tolerancing may be applied. Bidirectional positional tolerancing results in a noncylindrical tolerance zone for locating round holes; therefore, the diameter sym- bol is omitted from the feature control frame in these applications.

Bidirectional positional tolerancing is also applied to holes, such ‘as gear-mounting centers located by polar coordinate dimensions relative to specified datums, where a smaller tolerance is desired in the direction of the Tine-of-centers rather than at right angles to the line- of-centers. See Fig. 5-42. In this application, one di- mension line is applied in a radial direction and the other at right angles to the line-of-centers. A further requirement of perpendicularity within the positional 139 tolerance zone has been specified.

Where «positional tolerance of a noncircular feature applies at MMC, the following apply. (a) In Terms of the Surfaces of a Feature. While maintaining the specified width limits of the feature, no element of its side surfaces shall be inside a theo- retical boundary defined by two parallel planes ‘equally disposed about true position and separated by a distance equal to that shown for W in Fig. 5-45. (b) In Terms of the Center Plane of a Feature. While maintaining the specified width limits of the feature, its center plane must be within a tolerance zone defined by two parallel planes equally disposed about true position, having a width equal to the posi- tional tolerance. See Fig. 5-46. This tolerance zone also defines the limits within which variations in atti- © B04 1 FIG. 645 BOUNDARY FOR SURFACES OF SLOT AT MMC. tude of the center plane of the feature must be confined. (c) In Terms of the Boundary for an Elongated Feature. While maintaining the specified size limits Of the elongated feature, no element of its surface shall be inside a theoretical boundary of identical shape located at true position. The size of the bound- ary is equal to the MMC size of the elongated feature minus its positional tolerance. To invoke this con- cept, the term BOUNDARY is placed beneath the feature control frames. See Fig. 5-47. In this exam- ple, a greater positional tolerance is allowed for its length than for its width.

[NOTE: This boundary concept can also be applied to other ireg- tlaly shaped’ feamures — such as a D-shaped hole (with a fl {ened side) — where the center is not conveniently ieatfiabe. See para. 655.1 5.11 COAXIALITY CONTROLS Coaxiality is that condition where the axes of two or more surfaces of revolution are coincident. The 142 DIMENSIONING AND Toterancncy amount of permissible variation from coaxiality may bbe expressed by a positional tolerance or a runou} tolerance. Selection of the proper control oral oon the nature of the functional requirements of design. 5.11.1 Positional Tolerance Control. Whe the surfaces of revolution are cylindrical and the con™ ‘tol of the axes can be applied on a material condition, basis, positional tolerancing is recommended. 5.11.1.1 Coaxial Relationships. A coaxial re lationship may be controlled by specifying a posi tional tolerance at MMC. See Fig. 5-48. A coaxial relationship may also be controlled by specifying positional tolerance at RFS. See Fig. 5-55. The da- ‘tum feature may be specified on either an MMC of an RFS basis, depending upon the design require ments. In Fig. 5-48, the datum feature is specified con an MMC basis. In such cases, any departure of 3 t datum feature from MMC may result in an additior displacement between its axis and the axis of considered feature. See the condition shown in Fig, 5-49(c). Where two or more features are coaxial related to such a datum — for example, a shaft hav! ing several diameters — the considered features are displaced as a group relative to the datum feature, explained in para. 5.3.2.2 for a patter of features. 5.11.1.2 Verification. The positional tolerance control shown in Fig. 5-48 usually permits, but does not dictate the use of a simple receiver gage for in spection. The application of such a gage is illustrat in Fig. 5-49, that shows: (a) both the considered feature and the datum fea ture at MMC; (b) the considered feature at LMC and the datum feature at MMC; (c) both the considered feature and the datum fea ture at LMC, displaced in opposite extremes. 5.11.13 Coaxial Features Control Within Limits of Size. Where it is necessary control coaxiality of related features within their lim- its of size, a ze70 positional tolerance at MMC i specified. The datum feature is normally speci ‘on an MMC basis, See Fig. 5-50. Boundaries of pers fect form are thereby established that are truly coax, ial, where both features are at MMC. Variations ‘coaxiality are permitted only where the features de: part from their MMC size toward LMC. 6.1.1.4 Alignment of Coaxial Holes. 4 composite positional tolerance may be used to con trol the alignment of two or more coaxial holes.

Locating Tolerance. Controls, such as are shown in Fig. 5-51, may be specified where it is desired t produce wo or moe cout fears wibin «rll tively larger pattern-locating tolerance zone. The central axis of the PLTZF cylinders is parallel t datums A and B. Since the lower easing segment of the feature control frame does not invokt orientation datums, the central axis of the FRTZF cylinders may be skewed relative to the central axi of the PLTZF cylinders. Depending upon the actu ally-produced size of each coaxial feature, each indi- vidual feature axis may be inclined within its respec tive tolerance zone cylinder. 5,11.1.5.1 Orientation of Feature-Relat- ing Tolerances. Where it is desired to refine orientation of the FRTZF cylinders as governed the boundary established by the PLTZF cylinders, datum references specified in the upper segment the frame are repeated, as applicable, and in call ‘order of precedence, in the lower segment of feature control frame. See Fig. 5-52. Since the lower (feature-relating) segment of the feature contro frame invokes datums A and B, the common axis of the FRTZF cylinders must be parallel to the common axis of the PLTZF cylinders. 5.11.1.6 Holes of Different Sizes. well holes are of different specified sizes and the same requirements apply to all holes, a single feature con trol symbol, supplemented by a notation such TWO COAXIAL HOLES is used. See Fig. 5-53. The same tolerance zone relationships apply as for Fig, 5-51. 5.11.2 Runout Tolerance Control, Where @ combination of surfaces of revolution is cylindric or conical relative to a common datum axis, or spher ical relative to a common datum point, a runout toler: ‘ance is recommended.

A concenl tricity tolerance is a cylindrical (or spherical) toler- ance zone whose axis (or center point) coincides wit the axis (or center point) of the datum feature(s). median points of all correspondingly-located ele ‘ments of the feature(s) being controled, regardles of feature size, must lie within the cylindrical ll spherical) tolerance zones. The specified toleranc and the datum reference can only apply on an RFS basis. See Fig. 5-54. Unlike the control covered para, 5.11.1, where measurements taken along a sur} face of revolution are made to determine the location (eccentricity) ofthe axis or center point of the actu ‘mating envelope, a concentricity tolerance require the establishment and verification of the feature’ median points. NOTE: lmegulates inthe form of an actual feature to be specied may make i difficult establish the locaton of {anue's median pois. For example, a nominally cylindrical surface of revoludon may be Bowed of out of round in adi {o being displaced from its datum axis In such instances, find {he median points ofthe feature may entail a tine-consumt nals of surface vaiauons. Therefore, unless there isa define ‘eed forthe contol ofthe featre's median points, i is recom ‘ended that a contol be specified in terms of rune tolera ‘oF positional tolerance 5.12.2 Difference Between Coaxiality Con- trols and Concentricity.

In Fig. 5™ '56, the axis of the controlled feature’s actual eel envelope has been displaced 0.2 to the left, relat to the axis of datum feature A, and 0.5 material ‘been removed from the right side of the feature’s surface.

Since the actual mating size of the controlled features in Figs. 5-56 and 5-57 is 25. diameter, the controlled features remain within acl ceptable limits of size. For coaxial positional toler- ance, the location of the axis of the feature's ‘mating envelope is controlled relative to the axis, the datum feature.

MMC, LMC, or RFS ‘modifiers may be specified to apply to both the toler- ance and the datum feature. 5.13.1 Positional Tolerancing at MMC for As- semblability. A symmetrical relationship may be controlled by specifying a positional tolerance at ‘MMC as in Fig. 5-59. The explanations given in paras. 5.10.1(a) and (b) apply to the considered fea- ture. The datum feature may be specified either on ‘an MMC, LMC, or RFS basis, depending upon the design requirements. 5.13.2 Zero Positional Tolerancing at MMC for Symmetrical Relationships. Where it is nec- essary to control the symmetrical relationship of re- lated features within their limits of size, a zeto posi- tional tolerance at MMC is specified. The datum feature is normally specified on an MMC basis Boundaries of perfect form are thereby established that are truly symmetrical where both features are at MMC. Variations in position are permitted only where the features depart from their MMC size to- ward LMC. This application is the same as that shown in Fig. 5-50 except that it applies a tolerance to a center plane location. 5.13.3 Positional Tolerancing RFS for As- semblability. Some designs may require a control of the symmetrical relationship between features re- gardless of their actual sizes. In such cases, both the specified positional tolerance and the datum refer- ‘ence apply on an RFS basis. See Fig. 5-60, 9 ASME Y14.5M-1004 > 28 [emir FIG. 553 POSITIONAL TOLERANCING FOR COAXIAL HOLES OF DIFFERENT SIZE 5.14 SYMMETRY TOLERANCING TO CONTROL THE MEDIAN POINTS OF OPPOSED OR CORRESPONDINGLY- LOCATED ELEMENTS OF FEATURES Symmetry is that condition where the median points ofall opposed or correspondingly-located ele- ments of two or more feature surfaces are congruent with the axis or center plane of a datum feature. ‘Where design requirements dictate a need for the use of a symmetry tolerance and symbol, the method shown in Fig. 5-61 may be followed. The explanation given in para, 5.12 applies to the considered fea- ture(s), since symmetry and concentricity controls are the same concept, except as applied to different part configurations. Symmetry tolerance and the da- tum reference can only apply on an RFS basis. 5.15 SPHERICAL FEATURES A positional tolerance may be used to control the location of a spherical feature relative to other fea- tures ofa part. See Fig. 5-62. The symbol for spheri- cal diameter precedes the size dimension of the fea- ture and the positional tolerance value, to indicate a spherical tolerance zone. Where it is intended for the tolerance zone shape to be otherwise, a special indication is shown, similar to the example shown for a bidirectional tolerance zone of a cylindrical hole. See Fig. 5-41.

Orientation tolerances con- ‘rol angularity, parallelism, and perpendicularity. A. profile tolerance may control form, orientation, size, and location depending on how it is applied. Since, to a certain degree, the limits of size control form and parallelism, and tolerances of location control orientation, the extent of these controls should be considered before specifying form and orientation tolerances. See para. 2.7 and Figs. 2-6 and $-6. 6.3 SPECIFYING FORM AND ORIENTATION TOLERANCES Form and orientation tolerances critical to function and interchangeability are specified where the toler- ances of size and location do not provide sufficient control. A tolerance of form or orientation may be specified where no tolerance of size is given, for ‘example, in the control of flatness after assembly of the parts. 6.3.1 Form and Orientation Tolerance Zones. ‘A form or orientation tolerance specifies a zone within which the considered feature, its line cle- ‘ments, its axis, or its center plane must be contained. 6.3.1.1 Cylindrical Tolerance Zone. Where the tolerance value represents the diameter of a cylin- drical zone, it is preceded by the diameter symbol. In all other cases, the tolerance value represents a total linear distance between two geometric bound- aries and no symbol is required 6.3.1.2 Limited Area and Length. Certain designs require control over a limited area or length 157 of the surface, rather than control of the total surface. In these instances, the area or length, and its location are indicated by a heavy chain line drawn adjacent to the surface with appropriate dimensioning. Where so indicated, the specified tolerance applies within these limits instead of to the total surface. See para, 45.10 and Fig. 4-23, 6.3.1.3 Identifying Datum References. It is necessary to identify features on a part to establish datums from which dimensions control orientation, runout, and when necessary, profile. For example, in Fig. 6-22, if datum references had been omitted, it would not be clear whether the larger diameter or the smaller diameter was the intended datum feature for the dimensions controlling profile. The intended datum features are identified with datum feature symbols and the applicable datum references are in- cluded in the feature control frame. For information on specifying datums in an order of precedence, see para. 4.4. 6.4 FORM TOLERANCES Form tolerances are applicable to single (individ- ual) features or elements of single features; therefore, form tolerances are not related to datums. The fol- lowing subparagraphs cover the particulars of the form tolerances — straightness, flatness, circularity, and cylindricity 6.4.1 Straightness. Straighmess is a condition where an element of a surface, or an axis, is a straight line, 6.4.1.1 Straightness Tolerance. A. straightness tolerance specifies a tolerance zone within which the considered element or derived me- dian line must lie. A straightness tolerance is applied in the view where the elements to be controlled are represented by a straight line. 6.4.1.1.1 Cylindrical Features.

When applied on an MMC basis, as in Fig. 6-3, the maximum straightness tolerance is the specified tolerance plus the amount the actual local size of the feature departs from its MMC size. The derived median line of an actual feature at MMC must lie within a cylindrical toler- ance zone as specified. As each actual local size de- parts from MMC, an increase in the local diameter of the tolerance zone is allowed that is equal to the amount of such departure. Each circular element of the surface (that is, actual local size) must be within the specified limits of size. 6.4.1.1.3 Application of RFS or MMC to Noneylindrical Features, As an extension of the principles of para. 6.4.1.1.2, straightness may be ap- plied on an RFS or MMC basis to noncylindrical features of size. In this instance, the derived median plane must lie in a tolerance zone between two paral- Jel planes separated by the amount of the tolerance. Feature control frame placement and arrangement as described in para, 6.4.1.1.2 apply, except the diame- 160 ter symbol is not used since the tolerance zone i noncylindrical. 64.1.1.4 Applied on Unit Basis. Straightess may be applied on a unit basis as means of preventing an abrupt surface variatic within a relatively short length of the feature, See Fig. 6-4. Caution should be exercised when usit ‘unit control without specifying a maximum limit be- cause of the relatively large theoretical variations may result if left unrestricted. If the unit v appears as a “bow” in the toleranced feature, and “bow” is allowed to continue at the same rate fe several units, the overall tolerance variation may re- sult in an unsatisfactory part. Figure 6-5 illustrates the possible condition where straightness per unit length given in Fig. 6-4 is used alone, that is, if straightness for the total length is not specified. 6.4.1.1.5 Straightness of Line Elements.

Where function requires the line elements to be related to a datum feature(s), profile of a line should be specified related to datums. See Fig. 6-18, 6.4.2 Flatness. Flamess is the condition of a sur- face having all elements in one plane. 6.4.2.1 Flatness Tolerance. A flatness toler- ance specifies a tolerance zone defined by two paral- Jel planes within which the surface must lie. When a flatness tolerance is specified, the feature control frame is attached to a leader directed to the surface or to an extension line of the surface. It is placed in a view where the surface elements to be controlled are represented by a line. See Fig. 6-7. Where the ‘considered surface is associated with a size dimen- sion, the flatness tolerance must be less than the size tolerance. 6.4.2.1.1 Applied on Unit Basis. Flatness may be applied on a unit basis as a means of pre- venting an abrupt surface variation within a relatively small area of the feature. The unit variation is used either in combination with a specified total variation, or alone, Caution should be exercised when using ‘unit control alone for the reasons given in para. 64.1.1.4.

Circularity is a condition of a surface where: (a) for a feature other than a sphere, all points of the surface intersected by any plane perpendicular to an axis are equidistant from that axis; (b) for a sphere, all points of the surface inter- sected by any plane passing through a common cen- ter are equidistant from that center. 6.4.3.1 Circularity Tolerance. A circularity tolerance specifies a tolerance zone bounded by two concentric circles within which each circular element of the surface must lie, and applies independently at any plane described in (a) and (b) above. See Figs. 162 6-8 and 6-9. The circularity tolerance must be less than the size tolerance, except for those parts subject to free state variation. See para. 6.8. NOTE: See ANSI B89.3.1 for futher information on this subject 6.4.4 Cylindricity. Cylindricity is a condition of | a surface of revolution in which all points of the surface are equidistant from a common axis. 6.4.4.1 Cylindricity Tolerance. A cylincricity tolerance specifies a tolerance zone bounded by two concentric cylinders within which the surface must lie. Inthe case of eylindricity, unlike that of circular- ity, the tolerance applies simultaneously to both cir- cular and longitudinal elements of the surface (the ‘entire surface). See Fig. 6-10. The leader from the feature control frame may be directed to either view. ‘The cylindricity tolerance must be less than the size tolerance.

Profiles are formed by projecting a three-dimensional figure onto a plane or by taking cross sections through the figure, The elements of a profile are straight lines, arcs, and other curved lines. If the drawing specifies individual tol- erances for the elements or points of a profile, these elements or points must be individually verified. Such a procedure may be impracticable in certain ‘cases, particularly where accuracy of the entire pro- file, rather than elements of a profile, is a design requirement. With profile tolerancing, the true profile may be defined by basic radii, basic angular dimen- sions, basic coordinate dimensions, basic size dimen- sions, undimensioned drawings, ot formulas 65.1 Profile Tolerancing. The profile tolerance specifies a uniform boundary along the true profile Within which the elements of the surface must lie. It is used to control form or combinations of size, form, orientation, and location. Where used as a refinement of size, the profile tolerance must be contained within the size limits, Profile tolerances are specified as follows (@) An appropriate view or section is drawn show- ing the desired basic profile. (b) Depending on design requirements, the toler- ance may be divided bilaterally to both sides of the ‘tue profile or applied unilaterally to either side of the true profile. Where an equally disposed bilateral tolerance is intended, it is necessary to show only the feature control frame with a leader directed to the surface. For an unequally disposed or a unilateral tolerance, phantom lines are drawn parallel to the tue profile to indicate the tolerance zone boundary. ‘One end of a dimension line is extended to the fea- ture control frame. The phantom line should extend only a sufficient distance to make its application clear. See Fig. 6-11 (c) Where a profile tolerance applies all around the profile of a part, the symbol used to designate “all around” is placed on the leader from the feature control frame. See Fig. 6-12. Where segments of a profile have different tolerances, the extent of each profile tolerance may be indicated by the use of refer- ‘ence letters to identify the extremities o limits of each requirement. See Fig. 6-13. Similarly, if some segments of the profile are controlled by a profile tolerance and other segments by individually toler- anced dimensions, the extent of the profile tolerance must be indicated. See Fig. 6-14. 6.5.2 Tolerance Zone.

FIG. 6-18 SPECIFYING PROFILE OF A SURFACE FOR SHARP CORNERS files taken at various cross sections through the part. ‘These two cases are provided for as follows (a) Profile of a Surface. The tolerance zone estab- lished by the profile of a surface tolerance is three- dimensional, extending along the length and width (or circumference) of the considered feature or fea- tures, This may be applied to parts having a constant cross section asin Fig. 6-12, to parts having a surface of revolution, or to parts (such as castings) defined by profile tolerances applying “ALL OVER" as indi- ‘cated below the feature control frame. (b) Profile of a Line. The tolerance zone estab- lished by the profile of a line tolerance is two-dimen- sional, extending along the length of the considered feature. This applies to the profiles of parts having a varying cross section, such as the tapered wing of ‘an aircraft, or to random cross sections of parts as in Fig. 6-18, where itis not desired to control the entire surface of the feature as a single entity. 6.5.3 Explanation of Profile Tolerance. The tolerance value represents the distance between two boundaries equally or unequally disposed about the true profile or entirely disposed on one side of the true profile. Profile tolerances apply normal (perpen- dicular) to the true profile at all points along the profile. The boundaries of the tolerance zone follow the geometric shape of the true profile. The actual surface or line element must be within the specified tolerance zone, and all variations from the true pro- file must blend. Where a profile tolerance encom- passes a sharp comer, the tolerance zone extends to the intersection of the boundary lines. See Fig. 6- 15. Since the intersecting surfaces may lie anywhere within the converging zone, the actual part contour could conceivably be rounded. If this is undesirable, the drawing must indicate the design requirements, such as by specifying the maximum radius. See Fig. 6-12.

In most cases, profile of a surface tolerance requires reference to datums in order to provide proper orientation, loca- tion, or both, of the profile. With profile of a line tolerance, datums may be used under some circum- stances but would not be used when the only require- ‘ment is the profile shape taken cross section by cross section. An example is the shape of a continuous extrusion. 6.5.5 Combined Controls. Profile tolerancing may be combined with other types of geometric tol- crancing. Figure 6-16 illustrates a surface that has a profile tolerance refined by a parallelism tolerance. ‘The surface must not only be within the profile toler- ‘ance, but each straight line element of the surface ‘must also be parallel to the datum within the toler- ance specified. Figure 6-17 illustrates a surface that has a profile tolerance refined by a runout tolerance. ‘The entire surface must be within the profile toler- specified runout tolerance. Figure 6-18 illustrates, part with a profile of @ line tolerance where size is controlled by a separate tolerance. Line elements of the surface along the profile must lie within the pro- file tolerance zone and within a size limiting zone, In certain instances, a portion of the profile tolerance zone may fall beyond the boundary of the size lim- iting zone. However, this portion of the profile toler-| ance zone is not usable because the line elements of the surface must not violate the size limiting zone. 6.5.5.1 Boundary Control for @ Nonevin- drical Feature. Profile tolerancing may be com- bined with positional tolerancing where it is neces- sary to control the boundary of a noncylindrical feature. See Fig 6-19. In this example, the basic di- mensions and the profile tolerance establish a toler- ance zone to control the shape and size of the feature, ‘Additionally, the positional tolerance establishes al 168 ance and the circular elements must be within “4 DIMENSIONING AND TOLERANCING ASME Y14.5M-1994 THIS ON THE DRAWING Es | MEANS THIS: 0.25 Profile zone ar 0.15 Runout zone atc ° Un // Soc anton oat w jaf MA Primary a [ ph, ‘datum plano M ‘The aurface between points A and B must lie botween two profile boundaries 0.26 apart, equally disposed about the true profiie Positioned with respect to primary datum plane M and secondary. datum axis N.

For an internal feature, the boundary equals. the MMC size of the profile minus the positional tolerance, and the entire feature surface must le out- side the boundary. For an extemal feature, the bound- ary equals the MMC size of the profile plus the posi- tional tolerance, and the entire feature surface must lie within the boundary. To invoke this concept, the term BOUNDARY is placed beneath the positional tolerance feature control frame. 6.5.6 Coplanarity. Coplanarity is the condition of two or more surfaces having all elements in one plane. 6.5.6.1 Profile Tolerance For Coplanar Sur- faces. A profile of a surface tolerance may be used where it is desired to treat two or more surfaces as m 4 single interrupted or noncontinuous surface. In this, ‘case, a control is provided similar to that achieved by a flatness tolerance applied to a single plane sur- face. As shown in Fig. 6-20, the profile of a surface tolerance establishes a tolerance zone defined by two parallel planes within which the considered surfaces ‘must lie. No datum reference is stated in Fig. 6-20, as in the case of flatness, since the orientation of the tolerance zone is established from contact of the part against a reference standard; the plane is established by the considered surfaces themselves. Where two cor more surfaces are involved, it may be desirable to identify which specific surface(s) are to be used as the datum feature(s). Datum feature symbols are ap- lied to these surfaces with the appropriate tolerance for their relationship to each other. The datum refer- ence letters are added to the feature control frame ASME Y14.5M-1994 THIS ON THE ORAWING {So.08} ‘2SURFACES: [ei] WEANE THIS) _—— bo within the spectied limits of size.

See Fig. 6-21 65.7 Profile Tolerance for Plane Surfaces. Profile tolerancing may be used to control form and orientation of plane surfaces. In Fig. 6-22, profile of a surface is used to control a plane surface inclined to a datum feature. 6.5.8 Profile Tolerance for a Conical Feature. A profile tolerance may be specified to contro! the conicity of a surface in either of two ways: as an independent control of form, or as a combined con- trol of form and orientation. Figure 6-23 depicts a ‘conical feature controlled by a profile of a surface tolerance where conicity of the surface is a refine ment of size. In Fig. 6-24, the same control is applied but is oriented to a datum axis. In each case, the feature must be within size limits 6.5.9 Composite Profile. Where design require- ‘ments permit a feature locating tolerance zone to be larger than the tolerance zone that controls the fea- ture size, a composite profile tolerance may be used. m DIMENSIONING AND Touenancnl 6.5.9.1 Composite Profile Tolerancing. This provides a composite application of profile toleranc Ine for locaton of a profiled feature as wel as hh requirement of form, orientation, and in some stances, the sizeof the feature, within the larger pro, file locating tolerance zone.

The profile symbol is entered once and 4 applicable to both horizontal segments.

Note that angularity, 17% ‘The surtace must lie between two coaxial boundaries 0,02 apart having an included angle ot 15". The surlace must be within the specified limits of size, FIG. 6.23 SPECIFYING PROFILE OF A CONICAL FEATURE perpendicularity, and parallelism, when applied to plane surfaces, control flatness if a flatness tolerance; is not specified. 6.6.1.1 Tolerance Zones. Tolerance zones are total in value requiring an axis, or all elements of thé considered surface, to fall within this zone, Where it is a requirement to control only individual line ele- ments of a surface, a qualifying notation, such as, EACH ELEMENT or EACH RADIAL ELEMENT, is added to the drawing. See Figs. 6-44 and 6-45. This permits control of individual elements of the surface independently in relation to the datum and| does not limit the total surface to an encompassing! zone. 1.2 Application of Zero Tolerance at, MMC. Where no variations of orientation, such as perpendicularity, are permitted at the MMC size limit of a feature, the feature control frame contains a zero for the tolerance, modified by the symbol for MMC. If the feature is finished at its MMC limit of size, it must be perfect in orientation with respect to the datum. A tolerance can exist only as the feature de- parts from MMC. The allowable orientation toler- DIMENSIONING AND TOLERANCING THIS ON THE DRAWING FIG. 624 PROFILE TOLERANCING OF A CONICAL FEATURE, DATUM RELATED ance is equal to the amount of such departure. See Figs. 6-41 and 6-42 6.6.1.3 Tangent Plane. Where itis desired to control a feature surface established by the con- tacting points of that surface, the tangent plane sym- bol is added in the feature control frame afier the stated tolerance. See Fig. 6-43. 6.6.2 Angularity. Angularity is the condition of a surface, center plane, or axis at a specified angle (other than 90°) from a datum plane or axis. 6.6.2.1 Angularity Tolerance, An angularity tolerance specifies one of the following (a) atolerance zone defined by two parallel planes, at the specified basic angle from one or more datum planes or a datum axis, within which the surface or center plane of the considered feature must lie. See Fig. 6.27. (b) atolerance zone defined by two parallel planes at the specified basic angle from one or more datum, 15 ASME Y14.6M-1094 planes or a datum axis, within which the axis of the considered feature must lie. See Fig. 6-28. (c) a cylindrical tolerance zone at the specified basic angle from one or more datum planes or a datum axis, within which the axis of the considered feature must lie. See Fig. 6-29. (d) a tolerance zone defined by two parallel lines. at the specified basic angle from a datum plane or axis, within which the line element of the surface must lie a surface or center plane, equidistant at all points from a datum plane; or an axis, equidistant along its length from one or more datum planes or a datum axis. 3.1 Parallelism Tolerance. A parallelism tolerance specifies one of the following: (a) atolerance zone defined by two parallel planes parallel to a datum plane or axis, within which the surface or center plane of the considered feature must lie, See Fig. 6-30. (b) tolerance zone defined by two parallel planes parallel to a datum plane or axis, within which the axis of the considered feature must lie. See Fig. 6-31. (c) a cylindrical tolerance zone parallel to one or ‘more datum planes or a datum axis, within which the axis of the feature must lie. See Figs. 6-32 and 6233, (d) a tolerance zone defined by two parallel lines. parallel to a datum plane or axis, within which the line element of the surface must lic, See Fig. 6-45. 6.6.4 Perpendicularity. Perpendicularity is the condition of a surface, center plane, or axis at a right angle to a datum plane or axis. 6.6.4.1 Perpendicularity Tolerance. A per- pendicularity tolerance specifies one of the following: (a) atolerance zone defined by two parallel planes perpendicular to a datum plane or axis, within the surface or center plane of the considered feature rust lie. See Figs. 6-34 through 6-36. (b) a tolerance zone defined by two parallel planes perpendicular to a datum axis, within which the axis of the considered feature must lie. See Fig. 6-37. (c) a.cylindrical tolerance zone perpendicular to a datum plane, within which the axis of the considered feature must lie. See Figs. 6-38 through 6-42. (d) a tolerance zone defined by two parallel lines perpendicular to a datum plane or axis, within which the line element of the surface must lie. See Fig. 6-44.
