Advanced Concepts of GD&T ASME Y14.5 2009 - Foundational Level ET3016
Topics: Quality, Safety & Maintenance
This two-day foundational-level course teaches Advanced Concepts of GD&T as prescribed in the ASME Y14.5-2009 Standard. It offers an explanation of complex GD&T topics, such as the expanded use of composite position and profile tolerances, customized datum reference frames, the translation modifier, and applying GD&T to non-rigid parts.
You’ll learn about functional dimensioning, form controls, the datum system, additional and complex datum feature types, expanded datum target concepts and usage on restrained parts, simultaneous, and separate requirements.
Each attendee receives a robust collection of learning resources including:- Advanced Concepts of GD&T Coursebook (ASME Y14.5-2009)
- 2009 Ultimate GD&T Pocket Guide
Learning is reinforced through performing numerous exercises at the end of each lesson.
