    Orientation of a center plane of a tapered feature

    I do not see in Y14.5 2009 where the AME concept is used for any geometric control other than position tolerance and form controls. Could anyone direct me to the standard references of AME for a profile control ?

    Shall we consider a profile tolerance with datum referenced at mmc as additional tol in stackup anal

    Dont know what Y14.5 version is used for this example however, if the intended DOF contraints for Datum "B" was to constrain "y" rotation, then the use of 2009 custom DRF could be used to identify that intent. In that were the case, a single Datum Target point (for Datum "C") might be used to...

    Greenimi Geometrically a circle has a center, however in the context of Y14.5 Positional Tolerancing the control applies to a 3D Feature Of Size. (geometric circles have center points, cylindrical feature's have an axis) For a cylindrical feature (round hole for "shop talk") would still be...

    Shall we consider a profile tolerance with datum referenced at mmc as additional tol in stackup anal

    Looking at the 2nd TecEase example from the front view for x, y, z orientation; Datum A constrains; y translation and x & z rotation Datum B constrains; z translation (restricted to allowable datum shift) Datum C constrains; x translation and y rotation A DRF defined by 3 mutually...

    Stinkin' diameter symbol.. At first it appeared that somebody needs a checker, however further down this omission seems to be intentional [bigglasses]

    The "purpose" for definition of FOS and AME (ASME Y14.5 2009) Conical /Tapered features

    3DDave Nice... Gee...guess I forgot to mention the cone was an internal conical feature that was being viewed down on in my picture. So I suppose people have a lot of trouble eating ice cream from a cone in your world.. pretty messy with the cone apex pointing up

    The "purpose" for definition of FOS and AME (ASME Y14.5 2009) Conical /Tapered features

    3DDave 1) I believe you will find 2.13 CONICAL TAPERS excludes most if not all of your examples as complying with the accepted definition for conical features in Y14.5 2009. 2) You are saying Fig 8-24's internal feature does not have "directly toleranced dimensions" because the dimensions are...

    The "purpose" for definition of FOS and AME (ASME Y14.5 2009) Conical /Tapered features

    None of "solid geometry’s” defined shapes have any particular size until values are assigned to its generic geometric definition nor is it’s location and orientation in 3D space defined until dimensions are used to position and orient. To argue that a conical feature doesn’t have size when...

    The "purpose" for definition of FOS and AME (ASME Y14.5 2009) Conical /Tapered features

    3DDave A cone with a specific base diameter (maximum size by tolerance) is overlaid by and positioned to another cone with a specific base diameter (minimum size by tolerance), both have the same perfect surface angle (perfect as defined by Y14.5 via gage tolerances), and both have the same...

    The "purpose" for definition of FOS and AME (ASME Y14.5 2009) Conical /Tapered features

    If written text cannot be discussed relying on the premise that the words of the text are based on accepted definitions (dictionaries) for a particular language (in the case of ASME Y14.5 – English) then it is futile to attempt any meaningful discussion. As in another referenced thread where...

    The "purpose" for definition of FOS and AME (ASME Y14.5 2009) Conical /Tapered features

    pylfrm, Threads go can back and forth so much and then off at times to tangent discussions which are raised; it is helpful to be clear regarding subject. Personally, I am a huge advocate regarding being clear about the "context" because of its great importance and relevance to questions or...

    The "purpose" for definition of FOS and AME (ASME Y14.5 2009) Conical /Tapered features

    plyfrm How does a constant within your posted equation for cone definition within a Cartesian coordinate system, compare with defining a conical feature per solid geometry definition of a cone which includes base, height, angle and axis? Applying specific values to base, height and angle to...

    Shall we consider a profile tolerance with datum referenced at mmc as additional tol in stackup anal

    Babu I would like to retract one of my 1st post’s statements. I cannot. So, I will clarify that I was considering a considered feature’s AME and not the modified datum's AME when I posted: Based on the premise that a minimum number of DRFs should be defined in part definition and that the...

    Shall we consider a profile tolerance with datum referenced at mmc as additional tol in stackup anal

    Shall we consider a profile tolerance with datum referenced at mmc as additional tol in stackup anal

    Babu Because your post uses MMC and not MMB I would believe that you are referencing Y14.5 1994 or earlier, which actually does not affect an answer to your question. (Just an observation) My 1st thought is "no”. Should not be considered for a tolerance stack. The reason is that Datum Shift /...
