Open: Geometrical Boundaries II, Interpretation and Application of G&T per. ISO 1101-2012

Written and Illustrated by Kelly L. Bramble

Geometrical Tolerancing is an engineering drawing language used to communicate the physical limit Requirements of a product object in two or three dimensional space. The G&T standard defines a collection of symbols and specific rules for defining specific characteristics, relationships, and feature controls.

The latest international standard on the subject of G&T defined and in practice is the International Standards Organization ISO 1101:2012, Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS).

Geometrical product specifications (GPS) — Geometrical tolerancing — Tolerances of form, orientation, location and run-out.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 1101 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 213, Dimensional and geometrical product specifications and verification.

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 1101:2004) and ISO 10578:1992. Representations of specifications in the form of a 3D model have been added.
