GD&T: Application and Interpretation, based on the ASME Y14.5-2018 Dimensioning and Tolerancing standard, is targeted to programs that require a study of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing as related to design, manufacturing, or inspection. This highly illustrated text contains topics ranging from the fundamentals of dimensioning to the extended principles of tolerance application and interpretation. Tolerance application and interpretation explanations are included for all of the categories of tolerances in the ASME Y14.5 standard. GD&T: Application and Interpretation covers interpretation of topics in the Y14.5 standard, as well as practical applications of GD&T and the benefits of using GD&T in product documentation.
