Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing: Applications and Techniques for Use in Design: Manufacturing, and Inspection

By James D. Meadows

Explaining the symbology of dimensioning and tolerancing and introducing a step-by-step system for geometric definition, this book provides examples for the application of geometric controls. The author breaks down the language of geometric product definition into a series of steps that consist of significant questions to be asked at any point in the product definition. He addresses functional requirements and manufacturing techniques, measurement, inspection, and gaging procedures. The book illustrates how symbology is best utilized, in what order it should be applied, and how each geometric control anticipates, integrates, and complements all other geometric controls on a part and in an assembly.

Customer Reviews

Good book for a complicated subject.

This is a good book for a subject that is not easy to learn. It is a learning tool to help guide you, not show you exactly what you need to do. In GD & T there is no exact answer. What one would do another would not. This book shows you how to apply the concepts, but you need to understand your part/assembly in order to apply the concept to your situation. Every time I have need something about GD & T, I have used this book. I usually have to re-read the section explaining the principal in question, sometimes twice, but all the basic reasoning is there for you. For those of you who think you can pick up this, or any other, GD & T book and be a master at it you are mistaken. I have taken classes and read a few GD & T books and I still do not know everything. All in all I found this book to be beneficial to my understanding of GD & T and would (an have) recommend it.

Good Beginning

I am in the automotive field and needed a source reference. This book is excellent not too technical and not too simple. I would recommend it for anyone who needs an understanding of GD & T.
