These guys got a Pipe Thread Installation Torque and Hoop Stress calculator https://www.engineersedge.com/hardware/pipe_thread_installation_13424.htm

State of maintenance will matter years from now..

I elevate my laser head high and run the program with laser power off and observe the travel. This is a good idea on the first setup and cut for anything you CNC program.

By default tolerances of location applied to threaded feature apply the axis as derived from the pitch circle (diameter). Since the variation of pitch diameter of a 8-32 unc thread is about 0.0015 (verify) the "Bonus" tolerance at LMC is minimal Assuming that there is actual logic in this...

Yes, on second look you're right there still needs to be a orientation control on Datum A.

"IF" datum A was a datum target line, with a specified location it would work. Or, if an additional datum (B?) was specified in the FCF which would orient Datum A - that would work. As is - the orientation relative to Datum A is unspecified.

I suppose one could do that however when a dimension is not to scale it should be underlined..

Those are Datum lines, targets and areas. The balls indicate the type of simulators for gaging and location

"Can someone explain to me why you would ever desire to basic a print at the MMC with one sided tolerance?" Old school.. Before CNC's we manufactured stuff with manually operated machines and the strategy for the machine operator (machinist) was to remove just enough material to achieve MMC...

This is correct but only for selected form tolerances applied to the size dimension or FOS. Same applies for straightness specified to the FOS but not the surface exclusively. Excludes cylindricity... When a flatness is specified to a surface it is a refinement of the surface, thus the limits...

"vendor agreed on true position of .020" likely somebody other than the tech build it folks.. "composite parts" This material moves around and rarely holds form in an unrestrained condition. Tolerances are measured with a component in a free state condition unless otherwise specified. "I find...

Concentricity, as defined in previous ASME and ANSI standards is not what you think... not interpretated per the word definition "Concentricity". I would strongly recommend that you review the applicable standards for the interpretation of Concentricity not the dictionary. Position tolerances...

The datum C and B are derived from the center of the two center planes derived from the features. The Datum B center planes are derived from the horizontal surfaces and the Datum B center planes are derived from the vertical surfaces features. Both are legitimate.

Ensure the FBD is correct in a reputable statics load modeler..

You've been posting using the html code editing option by clicking the </>? The WYSIWYG editor seems to work well to achieve a non-breaking spaces by just typing the space bar on your keyboard.. I suspect that for security and potential hacking reasons the forum folks disabled selected html code.
