Great *visual* GD&T tips (eg Concentricity + Circularity ~= Runout... sort of)

.
I'm not promoting - I'm just sharing a great resource I found for *visual* G&T tips and explanations: http://www.tec-ease.com/gdt-tips.htm
I am more visual than I am wordy in order to understand things. This is a goodie:
Does Run out Equal Concentricity?—Sort Of.

  • I’m not a material guy, I’m a very compassionate person. Do you think that he’ll let me trade the gold star for a hug and a kiss? Or how about you E-mail it to him, you get to keep the gold star and I get a hug and a kiss from you?



    Don is a nice guy. I know him personally. Email him your concern and you'll get a reply. You can prolly get the hug from him if you come to Dayton in April but not the kiss. I'll give you that if you show.
  • There is also a Yahoo Y-14.5 user group. Like this forum, if you register, you can post questions and get timely answers about your specific "challenge". Most of the folks who frequent that site know their stuff. Many of them are certified Senior GD&T professional and/or members of the Y14.5 standards committee.


    HTH



    This is a very helpful forum with a lot of informative guys.

    BTW, the GD&T Senior cert is over rated anyways.

    I guess that means you failed the test? Innocent

    I suppose that depends on who is doing the rating. As it is the only test out there that I am aware of to indicate whether or not the person talking really understands GD&T or not, I think it means something.

    I have not sat the test. Yet. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
  • GD&T Senior cert.....does a reduced breakfast price come with that?

    May be I’ll do that if I can find his E-mail address…not now though, I’m pretty busy.

    Nope, this was again a failed attempt of me trying to be funny. I added my number to my sig. I will quit with the humor now.

    I took the test and passed on my 1st try and didn't even get a gold star. On top of my 6 years experience with print review, I intensely studied for a couple of hours a day for a month. It took me 3 1/2 hours to take it and cost $350. I would suggest taking a prep class if you want to take it. ASME has a testing service give the test. It's all multiple choice so the answer is either correct or not. Was it worth it? We'll have to wait and see.
  • Bought a few Tec-Ease products. Namely The GD&T Hierarchy Y14.5-2009 Textbook and
    The GD&T Hierarchy pocket guide (don't laff, it much more fashionable than a pocket protector) and the pocket guide hurls quite well at obnoxious engineers. Hits the target more often than not.
    Anyway, customer service/shipping was superb, so much so I would even buy a used car from these folks.
    Now, if they just included heavy-duty paperboard to print out that pyramid on.
    And YES, I failed the fold test using cheap ink-jet paper.....

    please show the capability studies to back your claim...................we require a Cpk of at least 1.3 Rolling eyes

  • Dave? I've e-mailed Don asking about the availability of an intercontinental version of the pocket guide. (if i already possessed that strong of an arm? i wouldn't be CMM programming) But the 'upgrade' is definitely necessary, since our engineers in need of a direct hit to the cranium are now in Asia...spreading their incompetence to a new continent. Thank goodness it's one of our legacy designs.
    Current local engineers are handled via smart bomb 'pocket guides' placement at no cost to them.
    Remains to be seen if it sinks in.
    But back to topic? A darn good product by Tec-Ease.
    Oh, and those capability studies? I tried, but HR has them locked up tighter than
    Fort Knox, but I have heard thru grapevine that our company medical costs via head wounds suffered by design engineers are up 61%.
    sounds promising to me.

  • I disagree with the video:

    - Circularity and circular run out are applied to each circular element individually.
    - Cylindricity and total run out are applied to the entire feature surface area.
    - Concentricity is applied to the median point of two opposing points on each circular element individually or each cross section.

    Concentricity + Circularity is less than or equal to Circular Runout not Total Runout


    Email this to him. You may get a gold star.



    I E-mailed Don last Thursday as you suggested, I also included “A part that passed Concentricity, Circularity and Circular Runout would failed Cylindricity and Total Runout due to taper”.
    So far no response from him…..will see.
