We are going to explore controls that apply tothe orientation of a part.
These controls are for the perpendicularity,
angularity and parallelism of the part.
Orientation controls are used when otherdrawing limits are inadequate to control the
assembly or fit for function of a part.

the size dimensions of the surfaces controls the
parallelism between the surfaces. Poor inspection due to lack of datums and
parallelism has same dimensions as size.

datum plane.
Tolerance zone is located within the limits of the sizedimension. Tolerance value of the parallelism control defines the
distance between tolerance zone planes. All elements of the surface lie within the tolerance

A TOP control, specified at RFS, defines atolerance zone that the center, axis, orcenterplane of the AME of a FOS must be
within. If specified on an MMC or LMC basis, TOP

If TOP controls are used, you must specify underwhich material condition the control is to apply.(MMC, LMC or RFS).
The function of the FOS being toleranced is theprimary dictate for the material condition.
Cost of production is a secondary considerationbut still important.
Do not forget inspection cost. Note that the MMC modifier is most common

T is position tolerance diameter
H is MMC of the clearance hole F is MMC of the fastener

Floating fasteners seem to be simple. Drill holes,keep tolerances adequate and check the formula.But there are other items to consider:
Clearance of the threaded portion where the nut
goes. Is the clearance for the threaded end?
Can you get the wrench or socket on the flat end? Isthere vertical and horizontal clearance?
When the assembly is put into the system, will therebe room for service or is this a blind assembly?

Concentricity Notes
7/21/2019 GDT Spring 2010[a]
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gdt-spring-2010a 151/256
All of the coaxiality controls are intended to controlconcentric features. For that reason, many designers andengineers choose concentricity. Unfortunately, concentricityignores the size, roundness and cylindricity of the feature. Itrequires that the inspector derive a median line. In asituation where you don't care about the size, roundness or
cylindricity of the feature, concentricity may be specified. Ido know of a design where this is truly the case. Theclosest application, perhaps, is when dynamic balance isneeded. In such a case, measuring a part statically does notassure dynamic balance if the material is not homogeneous.
If dynamic balance is required, a dynamic balancing note isprobably in order rather than concentricity. For that reason,When in Doubt, Use Runout."

But first some notes: Diameter must meet the size and rule 1 requirements.
Concentricity control tolerance zone is a cylinder thatis coaxial with a datum axis.
Tolerance value defines the diameter of the tolerancezone.
All median points of the toleranced diameter must bewithin the tolerance zone.
The maximum distance between median points is halfthe concentricity tolerance value.

Total runout is thedifference betweenthe highest andlowest readingsfound over theentire feature. Thehighest reading was+0.02 and thelowest reading was-0.09. Therefore,the total runoutfor the feature is0.11, the differencebetween +0.02 and-0.09.

Datum references are required.
The concentricity symbol must be in the toleranceportion of the FCF.

Symmetry
7/21/2019 GDT Spring 2010[a]
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gdt-spring-2010a 165/256
Symmetry is the condition where the medianpoints of all opposed elements of two ormore feature surfaces are congruent with theaxis or centerplane of a datum feature.
What this means is that opposed points mustbe equally spaced or apart and meet theconditions of the control.
165
Symmetry Control
7/21/2019 GDT Spring 2010[a]
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gdt-spring-2010a 166/256
This is a geometric tolerance that limits thesymmetry error of a part feature.
This control only works when applied to part featuresshown symmetrical to the datum centerplane.
The tolerance zone is centered about the datumcenterplane and the width is equal to the tolerancevalue.
All median points must lie within the parallel planetolerance zone regardless of feature size.
Symmetry controls are always applied at RFS.

Symmetry Application
7/21/2019 GDT Spring 2010[a]
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gdt-spring-2010a 169/256
A symmetry control is a special applicationthat requires work on the part of the designeror inspector to determine. Remember thatone must determine the datum plane and thenthe tolerance zone locations in order tomeasure symmetry.
169
Symmetry Application
7/21/2019 GDT Spring 2010[a]
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gdt-spring-2010a 170/256
Often designers need to create symmetricallyshaped parts. Symmetrical parts are usually easierto assemble, look better and help maintainbalance in a design. Features shown symmetricalmust be controlled to avoid incomplete drawing
requirements (2.7.3 of ASME Y14.5M-1994).Symmetry is an option in these situations but it isdifficult to measure since it requires deriving thefeatures' median points to determine if they are
contained within the specified tolerance zonewhich is centered on the datum axis or datumcenter plane.
170
Symmetry Application
7/21/2019 GDT Spring 2010[a]
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gdt-spring-2010a 171/256
Position may also be used to assure asymmetrical relationship. The advantages of usingPosition include the ability to modify thetolerance and datum reference at RFS (implied in
1994 Standard), MMC or LMC. In addition,verification is usually easier for Position than thatrequired for Symmetry since it is the center planeof the Actual Mating Envelope (simulated by the
inspection equipment) that must be within thetolerance zone.

When a symmetrical control is specified, thepart in question usually needs to have aspecific attribute of a part controlled. Specificareas may include wall thickness, functionalappearance and other factors that includebalance and fit.
If a symmetry control is applied, the following
applies:
173
Symmetry Application

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gdt-spring-2010a 174/256
Controlled feature must meet size and ruleone requirements.
Tolerance zone is two parallel planes centered
about the datum centerplane. Tolerance value of the symmetry control
dictates distance between parallel planes.
All median points of the toleranced featuremust be within the tolerance zone.

Runout
7/21/2019 GDT Spring 2010[a]
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gdt-spring-2010a 183/256
Runout is a composite control. That is the form,location and orientation of a part feature iscontrolled simultaneously.
Runout controls may also control coaxiality ofdiameters.
Runout must always be applied with a datumreference.
Runout may be applied to any feature thatsurrounds or intersects a datum axis.
Runout is measured as the max indicator readingon the feature when rotated 360 degrees.
183
Circular runout
7/21/2019 GDT Spring 2010[a]
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gdt-spring-2010a 184/256
First we must establish a datum axis.We do so by:
Using a single diameter
Two coaxial diameters sufficiently apart A surface and a diameter at right angles
Figure 11-2 illustrates these concepts.

Circular Runout
7/21/2019 GDT Spring 2010[a]
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gdt-spring-2010a 186/256
Circular runout is a composite control, that isa control for form, orientation and location ofcircular elements of a part feature.
A circular runout control is a geometrictolerance that limits the amount of circularrunout of a part surface.
Circular runout may control location or ifapplied to a diameter, the form and location ofa datum axis.

Circular Runout
7/21/2019 GDT Spring 2010[a]
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gdt-spring-2010a 187/256
The tolerance zone for circular runout is twocoaxial circles whose centers are located onthe datum axis.
The outer tolerance zone circle is establishedby the feature element farthest from thedatum axis. The inner circle is offset by thetolerance amount.
All surface elements must reside within thetolerance zone circles.
Figure 11-3 illustrates this187

Each error is measured by a single reading.

A composite control that affects form,orientation and location of all surfaceelements, either a diameter or a surface,relative to a datum axis.
If applied to a diameter, the tolerance zone istwo coaxial cylinders with centers located onthe datum axis.

zone is two dimensional for a line whereas itis three dimensional for a surface.
Profile of a line control is a geometric
tolerance that limits the amount of error forline elements relative to their true profile.
Profile of a line controls in one direction. May
be used with multiple single-segment controlsor with profile of surface control.
