GD & T Datum: A reference feature used to establish a coordinate system for measurement and tolerance. Feature Control Frame (FCF): A GD&T symbol that conveys information about the tolerances and geometric characteristics of a feature. True Position: The exact location of a feature relative to a specified datum, defined by a positional tolerance. Flatness: Describes the allowable variation in the flatness of a surface. Circularity: Specifies the allowable roundness deviation of a circular feature. Cylindricity: Defines the allowable variation in the form of a cylindrical feature. Profile of a Line: Governs the form, size, and orientation of a line element on a part. Profile of a Surface: Controls the shape and orientation of a surface within a specified tolerance zone. Concentricity: Ensures that two features share a common axis. Symmetry: Requires that a feature is symmetrically disposed about a datum plane or axis. Parallelism: Specifies the allowable deviation in parallel alignment between two surfaces or features. Perpendicularity: Ensures that a surface or feature is at a right angle to a datum. Positional Tolerance: Establishes the allowable variation in the location of a feature relative to a datum. Runout: Defines the allowable movement of a feature along its axis of rotation. Form Tolerance: Governs the shape of a feature, including straightness, roundness, and flatness. Datum Feature Simulator: A theoretical representation used for inspection and measurement. Basic Dimension: A theoretically exact dimension used for reference in GD&T. Material Condition Modifier (MMC): Adjusts the tolerance of a feature based on its actual size in the part's worst-case condition. Maximum Material Condition (MMC): The condition of a feature where it contains the maximum amount of material within the stated limits. Least Material Condition (LMC): The condition of a feature where it contains the least amount of material within the stated limits. Virtual Condition: The theoretically exact location of a feature's axis or center plane. Tangent Plane: A plane that touches a curved surface at a single point. Zero Position: A special case of true position where the feature must be in the exact location specified. Projected Tolerance Zone: The portion of a tolerance zone that is projected onto a specified plane. Bonus Tolerance: Additional tolerance allowed in certain situations, such as when applying MMC. Angularity: Controls the orientation of a feature relative to a datum plane or axis. Tolerance Zone: The total allowable variation in size, form, or location. MMC Modifiers (Regardless of Feature Size - RFS): Tolerance modifiers that ignore the material condition of the feature. Feature of Size: Any feature that is subject to size control, such as holes or shafts. Datum Target: A specified point, line, or area on a feature used as a datum for positioning. Projected Tolerance Zone (Straightness): The tolerance zone projected onto a specified axis. Datum Reference Frame: A set of datums that define the coordinate system for inspection. Datum Feature Simulator: A feature used to represent a datum feature when establishing a datum reference frame. True Profile: The boundary within which the entire surface must lie. Perpendicularity Tolerance Zone: The space within which the perpendicularity tolerance is applied. Cylindrical Zone: The three-dimensional space within which cylindrical tolerances apply. Datum Feature Hierarchy: The order in which datum features are established in a datum reference frame. Simultaneous Requirement: The condition where multiple geometric tolerances apply simultaneously. Projected Tolerance Zone (Parallelism): The space within which the parallelism tolerance is applied. Composite Tolerance: A single tolerance that combines multiple geometric controls. Circular Runout: Controls the circular movement of a feature relative to a datum axis. Flatness Tolerance Zone: The area within which a flat surface must lie to meet the specified tolerance. Unequally Disposed Profile Tolerance: Specifies varying profile tolerances for different portions of a feature. Datum Shift: A shift in the coordinate system to accommodate specific manufacturing or inspection needs. Multiple Single Segment Profile: Profile tolerance applied to multiple non-connected segments on a feature. Inclined Plane: A plane at an angle to the datum reference frame, controlled by angularity tolerance. Over All Length (OAL): The total length of a feature, including any projections or extensions. Datum Feature Simulator (Projected Tolerance Zone): Theoretical representation projecting a tolerance zone onto a plane. Circular Datum: A datum feature defined by a circular shape, often used in conjunction with cylindrical features. Profile of a Line (Free State): The profile tolerance applies when the feature is in its free or unrestrained state. Learn Mech Tools Online!
