Standard-compliant tolerancing, form and location tolerancing

Possibilities of the new GPS standards

The ebook looks at the different aspects of dimensioning and tolerancing workpieces to ensure functionality, production stability and, most importantly, compliance with standards. An overview of the international GPS standards (incl. the differences to ASME standardization) is also provided. 14 rules on test-compliant tolerancing are then derived and explained.
