    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...

    Determining Virtual Condition using ISO Composite Callout

    Does the Parallelism or the Straightness get subtracted from the minimum diameter to establish the virtual condition of the illustrated cylinder? The envelope principle is not specified / invoked in this case. Attachment should be the same as inline image, for those who can view the inline...

    Tangent Plane Modifier

    The intent is to control the extrusion of a spherically tipped rod back to two mounting holes. This is the proposed solution. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=612d8b19-693f-46bd-acae-9119960915df&file=Tangency.png

    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...

    Are Parting Lines Included, or Excluded.

    In the notes of a print: MAXIMUM PARTING LINE PERMISSIBLE: THICKNESS: 0.18 EXTENSION: 0.10 DIMENSIONING AND TOLERANCING IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASME Y14.5M-1994 On the field of the drawing is Ø40.4 ±0.1 If the part is produced to Ø40.5, how much flash extension is permissible? or what...

    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...
