drawings and CAD representations of product definitions that use the concepts that have changed from the ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard to the ASME Y14.5-2009 Standard.He explains each rule and symbol change and shows how to apply and interpret the new Y14.5 practices that will allow dimensioning and tolerancing professionals to express their design requirements more clearly.

He tells how the changes came to be and shows where they may be applied for the best results to products. Mr. Meadows relates instances from a variety of industries where these new concepts might be helpful. He tells of situations where these “NEW RULES” could have prevented problems. This two-day training session shows how using the ASME Y14.5-2009 standard can make product representations more specific in conveying tolerancing needs, how products can be more easily manufactured, and how appropriate inspection techniques can be applied.

This ‘NEW RULES’ in GD&T [per ASME Y14.5-2009] training program and its accompanying text/workbook were created to highlight and explain in detail the revised concepts covered in ASME Y14.5-2009 as well as to explain some of the more difficult and advanced concepts allowed by, but perhaps not thoroughly explained, in the previous Y14.5 standard. The “NEW RULES” training program and the 165-page text/workbook are not meant to replace the a full-length GD&T course using the 574 page textbook by James D. Meadows entitled Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing - Applications, Analysis & Measurement [per ASME Y14.5-2009] but, instead, to showcase only the topics and symbology that have changed from Y14.5M-1994 toY14.5-2009.

GD&T topics other than those specifically shown in the list below can be addressed on a “refresher” basis, if specifically requested by course participants.
