ISO datum scheme

ISO datum scheme

ISO datum scheme

(OP)
I have a part with ISO standard, please see the attached for details.

There are a lot problems on this drawing, let's concentrate on the datum setup scheme. Have you ever seen this G-H reference datum before? G and H is two holes feature located at the corner diagonally, I believe it would be two hole pattern as a datum in ASME standard, how do you think.

Thanks for your inputs

RE: ISO datum scheme

(OP)
Thanks for your comments, CH.

I can find out lot of examples with multiple datum features in 1994 or 2009 standard, I know what is the
meaning of datum feature reference letters separated by a dash, sorry for I didn’t clearly specify
my question.

How will you setup the DRF on the position callout |pos|0.04|G-H|, is this legal in ISO standard?

Great, this is what I need to know. Thanks pmarc.

RE: ISO datum scheme

Season,
I am afraid that this issue is just a tip of the iceberg.
I am looking at datum feature C and I don't envy you.

The concept of a common datum establishing from two parallel cylinders is just looks like a two hole pattern as datum feature in ASME, am I right?

Season

RE: ISO datum scheme

I would say so.

RE: ISO datum scheme

pmarc,

In the ISO 5459 excerpt, the two associated cylinders have variable diameters. Would you say that the two diameters are individually variable, or that they must vary together?

RE: ISO datum scheme

pmarc,

Yes, that's it.

Do you think that the two cylinders can be fitted (i.e. minimized) in a unique way? It always seemed to me that there is more than one solution.

RE: ISO datum scheme

I can imagine that if physical datum feature simulators were used to simulate common datum axis for this part, the configuration shown on fig. C.26.b could look different, because this figure seems not take into account any physical interaction between datum features and their simulators.

RE: ISO datum scheme

pmarc,

It does seem that different common axes could be generated. One simulator could be loosened and the other simulator tightened, resulting in a different relationship between the part and the datum axis.
