Written to comply with ASME Y14.5-2018, this GD&T answer book by James D. Meadows provides the opportunity for companies to grade the proficiency of current or potential employees for anyone who has to apply, interpret or analyze Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing. Studying these exam answers is also an excellent way to prepare to take the ASME Y14.5.2-2018 Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Professional (GDTP) Certification Exam.

This study guide has been written to supplement the GD&T: Application and Interpretation textbook. The review questions and application problems contained in this study guide can be completed on the basis of the information provided by the textbook.

GD&T: Application and Interpretation, based on the ASME Y14.5-2018 standard, is targeted to entry-level and advanced programs that require a study of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing as related to design, manufacturing, or inspection. The sequence of chapters is closely tied to the organization of topics in the ASME Y14.5 standard, with topics ranging from the fundamentals of dimensioning to the extended principles of tolerance application and interpretation. Illustrations are used extensively to clarify explanations in the text and show applications in three-dimensional (3D) models and orthographic views. The author is certified by ASME as a Senior Level Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Professional and has participated in the development of national and international standards for more than 25 years. Provides in-depth explanations of the practices presented in the ASME Y14.5 standard, ensuring learners are mastering the latest industry standard. The text includes hundreds of figures to illustrate ASME Y14.5 practices, and color is used in figures to separate explanation data from the main portion of the figure.. Boxed features, including Pro Tips, Standards Advisory, Notes, Past Practice, and History Brief, highlight critical, difficult-to-understand, and historical topics.

This sourcebook provides a thorough explanation of ASME Y 14.5, the geometric dimensioning and tolerancing standard which is used primarily to communicate engineering configurations from the designer to the manufacturer. Heavily illustrated with engineering configurations, this book includes practical examples to assess individual knowledge as well as exercises based on the Frequency Asked Questions gathered over the authors' 26 years as an educator.
