    Questionable true position callout - 2

    Will this control the width of a rib or an groove along a basic path identified from end A to end B while ensuring the center of the rib or groove is within the prescribed tolerance zone? An extension of principle derived from illustration shown in ASME Y14.5-2009 Fig. 7-29. The datums, while...

    Projected Tolerance Zone / Maximum Material Boundary

    I'm hoping these are fairly straightforward. ***** Image 1 ***** ***** Image 2 ***** ***** Image 3 ***** ***** Image 4 ***** Is there an approach to calculating the Maximum Material Bound when the Projected Tolerance Zone is only used on the positional geometric control or just the...

    Composite Profile on Revolved Surface

    I've pondered two approaches to what is being attempted to be described. The intent is to keep the orientation of the profile to the centerline, much like keeping a nameplate horizontal on the door while not being as concerned with it's location...

    Treating Position Individually as well as in a Pattern

    Referencing the ASME Y14.5M - 1994, Fig. 5-39 illustrates how to reference the center pin back to the lobes shown in Detail C[2]. In the Front View[2], it is desired to hold features back to these 5 pins independently which is accomplished by identifying each as its own datum. In Detail B[2]...

    Die Mismatch

    According to ASME Y14.8, 3.13, Mismatch, where applicable, shall be specified as a maximum value. Mismatch may exceed perfect form boundary at MMC, unless otherwise noted. If the mismatch is not listed in the notation of the casting drawing, does this bind the castor to meeting the dimensional...

    ISO-ASME Cylindricity vs Positional

    I have a Dia 10 -0.005 -0.011 bar with several grooves interupting the diameter. The ISO callout suppliments this with Cylindricity 0.004 and Circularity 0.004. There is also a g5 after the dimension. The confusion comes in trying to determine the virtual condition envelope. ASME Rule...
