Work on this issue began at a meeting in Sarasota, Florida, in April 2009. Changes in sentence structure, organization of content, and method of illustration are not an indication of technical changes. Text and figure edits were made to improve readability and clarify content. Deletion of the symbols does not leave industry without a means to control coaxial or symmetrical features, but it does eliminate the confusion that surrounds these symbols and their misapplication. Both have been eliminated because other characteristics provide more direct control of features and establish requirements that have a well-defined meaning. However, two past practices, use of concentricity and use of symmetry symbols, are no longer supported. With a focus on making the transition from the previous edition to this edition simple, no reversals of tolerancing concepts have been made.

This 2018 revision emphasizes the use of profile for location tolerances applied to surfaces the use of plus and minus tolerances has been moved to an Appendix that is likely to be removed in the next revision. The Foreword of ASME Y14.5-2009 pointed out the increasing importance for design to more precisely state functional requirements through the use of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and not to rely on the less definitive method of directly applied limit dimensions for form, orientation, location, and profile of part features. The methods of application in model views are currently defined in ASME Y14.41, but the meanings of the tolerances are defined in this Standard. This is in part to ensure that this Standard is applicable to the use of dimensions and tolerances in models and model-based drawings. Based on guidance from the Y14 Committee, the material formerly in Section 1 has been reorganized into Sections 1 through 4, and the subsequent Sections have been renumbered.īecause of the widespread use of computer-aided design (CAD) and the industry transition toward reduced use of orthographic views for product definition, model views were added in many figures throughout the Standard. The objectives for this revision are to correct any inconsistencies in the previous edition, to determine actions based on deferred comments from the review of the previous edition’s draft, to include model-based applications in many of the example figures, and to address proposals submitted by the public or members of the Subcommittee. This issue is a revision of ASME Y14.5-2009, Dimensioning and Tolerancing.
