    Straightness Tolerance Box

    Hello, Today I saw a tolerance box for straightness which had a tolerance of .005/1 RFS. I guess it means the part must be straight within .005 per inch. Does anyone know where in the ASME Y14.5 it allows this? I was unable to find it.

    Question about DOD-MIL-STD-100

    Hello, Would anyone know if DOD-MIL-STD-100 drawing interpretation contains a reference to ASME Y14.5 or any other tolerancing and dimensioning standard?

    Radius as a datum

    Hello, Can a radius be a datum?

    Composite Layup

    Hello, Does anyone know of a good reference text, standard, or instruction on how to draft and tolerance composite structures (eg. fiberglass panels, carbon fiber & resin etc...).

    Dimension to Intersecting Corner

    Hello, Question about ASME Y14.5. When a drawing is dimensioned to a sharp point of two intersecting surfaces or planes and there is a note on the drawing requiring break edges, how does the inspector know (from the ASME Y14.5) to inspect to the broken corner or the point in space where the...

    Wrench and Socket Clearances

    Hello, Does anyone know a good specification (SAE, ANSI, ASME....) for specifying wrench/tool/socket clearances required to maintain proper access?

    Orientation question

    When I specify a Parallelism and/or Angularity is it necessary to specify a distance(parallelism) or an angle(angularity)? In my case I am locating two parts to each other which will be welded in place. In the case of the parallelism there are two surfaces which require to be parallel, but...

    Profile -Chained Dimensions- Stack up

    Thank you for your input. Yes the feature should have located from a common datum and not the previous feature. Thank you for your assistance with this.

    Profile -Chained Dimensions- Stack up

    The part is similar to an electrical box, with several slots. Each slot was dimensioned with a basic dimension from the previous slot. Each surface was toleranced only with a profile tolerance. When the part was finished the last slot was considerably off. The person making the part measured...

    Profile -Chained Dimensions- Stack up

    If I have several chained dimensions, each defined with a basic dimension and a profile tolerance. Is the last dimension cumulative (sum of the basic dimensions + the worst case profiles) or can I just add all the basic dimensions in the chain and apply the profile once to the last edge? Robert

    Included angle

    Thank you for your help. There was a half angle on a drawing and it had the note INCLUDED below it. It was intended to imply the full angle. May of us were not familiar with this term. Thank you for you help.

    Included angle

    Does anyone use the expression "included angle" or "included" on drawings when describing angles?

    Help with lining up hole with groove

    Hello, On a thick walled pipe there is a radial groove on the inside of the pipe. The groove is dimensioned by a radius and the depth is defined by a dimension outward from the inner diameter of the pipe to the top of the groove. The radius is larger than the dimension from the inner wall so the...

    RPS points designation acc. to ASME or ISO

    Hello michal77, Could you tell me more about RPS points? I'm not sure what this acronym stands for. Robert

    Min dimension in View

    Thank you for your help with this. I used the fundamental rule 1.4(m) to clarify the requirement. In the future I will be using a positional geometric FCF as I believe this will allow no misinterpretation. Thanks for all the input. Robert

    Min dimension in View

    Thank you for your reply. I would have thought it straight forward as well. The diameters have diameter symbols. The view is not a wall thickness. It is two stepped internal diameters (similar to a counterbored hole). The min is shown in a section between the two steps. I was using the min to...

    Min dimension in View

    Hello, Question about Min dimension in view. On the drawing there are two concentric diameters shown in a cross section view. There is a Min dimension between the two diameters. The Min does not state ALL Around. How would I know if the MIN is specified at that particular location or if it is...
