Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)
Litts Quality Technologies, Inc. will be conducting a 2-day Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) class at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The ASME Y14.5-2009 Dimensioning and Tolerancing and ASME Y14.5-M 1994 Dimensioning and Tolerancing Standards are the basis of this training. This training will be conducted at The Navy Yard office building of Litts Quality Technologies, Inc.
This training course is suited for employees who have some knowledge of GD&T or are interested in gaining their initial experience in this subject. The major objective of this course is to teach the basic concepts of GD&T and review the new requirements of the 2009 updated version of the standard.
Please advise us by registration on-line, e-mail to rick@littsquality.com or phone 1-877-LQT-6001 {1-877-578-6001} by Monday October 4, 2010 of the number and names of the attendees that will be taking the course.
If you have any questions regarding this information please feel free to contact us.

TOPICS
GD&T OUTCOMES
At the conclusion of the GD&T training program participants will be able to:
- Define GD&T and explain how it is different from the conventional coordinate system of dimensioning and tolerancing.
- Explain the benefits of GD&T.
- Explain & Interpret each of the 14 Geometric Characteristics
- Explain the purpose of datums and how to identify them.
- Explain the difference between clearance, interference and transition fits.
- Explain the format of a feature control frame.
- Determine if a bonus tolerance is applicable and calculate the resulting geometric tolerance.
- Determine how each geometric tolerance is verified.
- Apply the skills learned
- Read and interpret drawings and blueprints that specify GD&T. The blueprint reading and interpretation will be conducted using a combination of student drawings and actual manufactured parts as well as customer drawings to explain the concepts
- Use the ASME Y14.5-M 1994 Dimensioning and Tolerancing and ASME Y14.5-2009 Dimensioning and Tolerancing Standards as references.

MORE INFORMATION
This course provides participants with an understanding of the concepts used in Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T). The participants will learn to recognize the fourteen Geometric Characteristics, the meaning of each one and the shape of the applicable tolerance zone. It is appropriate for all levels within an organization.
At the end of this training session, participants will be able to:
- Define GD&T and explain how it is different from the conventional coordinate system of dimensioning and tolerancing.
- Explain the benefits of GD&T.
- Explain the purpose of datums and how to identify them.
- Explain the difference between clearance, interference and transition fits.
- Explain the format of a feature control frame.
- Determine if a bonus tolerance is applicable and calculate the resulting geometric tolerance.
- Determine how each geometric tolerance is verified.
- Read and interpret drawings and blueprints that specify GD&T. The blueprint reading and interpretation will be conducted using a combination of client drawings and actual manufactured parts as well as their customer drawings to explain the concepts
- Use the ASME Y14.5-M 1994 standard as a reference.
- Compare ISO nomenclature Vs ASME Y14.5-M 1994
