Level 2:  Differences and Similarities between ISO and ASME Dimensioning and Tolerancing Standards

Who Should Attend? 

This is the course that all practitioners of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing who work in internationally-owned companies have been looking for.  This course is designed for professionals whose work requires them to know, apply or interpret both international geometrical tolerances created per ISO standards and geometric tolerances created per ASME Y14.5M-1994

 

If you have to deal with both national and international product drawings or 3D models and their accompanying geometric tolerances, this course is for you. 

 

If your company is comparing ISO and ASME tolerancing systems, their symbols, rules and practices and trying to decide which to go with as company policy, this course is for you. 

 

Whether you are involved in design, manufacturing, inspection, quality, product engineering or process engineering or are a manager of technical people in these areas and have to work with both national and international dimensioning and tolerancing practices, this is the course you need.

 

Course Description:         

This course teaches the most important concepts of ISO and ASME dimensioning and tolerancing practices concentrating on the similarities and differences between the standards.  Included in this course is a comparison of symbols, terms, definitions and practices (both current and past) of ISO and ASME geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.  This course, and its accompanying books and handouts, draw material from 17 of the most current ISO and ASME standards, technical papers and textbooks that relate to dimensioning and tolerancing.
