Dimensioning and Tolerancing: ASME Y14.5M-1994 (Engineering Drawing and Related Documentation Practices)

The sellers and the product were in fine condition for my purchase. The problem here is that I was looking for the 1982 version of the standard, and what I got from 2 separate sellers was the 1994 version. This was of no use to me in my work dealing with old engineering prints.If you are looking to buy this standard, have the seller verify that they are selling you the 1982 version, becauase Amazon has coordinated the ISBN or barcode for 1994 as the 1982 version.

This one is a bible for engineer who is doing drawing and tolerance everyday

A usefull guide to support this theme

Good value

This is THE standard for GD&T. This is an invaluable tool when working in design engineering, especially in the aerospace industry.

"..... THIS REVISION WAS INITIATED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE OFFICIAL RELEASE OF ANSI Y14.5M-1982 in December 1982 in response to deferred comments from that revision, new conceptual developments, new symbology, and international standards expansion.Twenty-three Subcommittee meetings and numerous working group meetings of the ASME Y14.5 Subcommittee were convened during the developmental period.The meetings were held in various cities around the United States.The Subcommittee's work was coordinated as much as possible with other related ASME committees and other standard developing bodies that share a common purpose on dimensioning and tolerancing or related standards.Particularly close alliance and liaison were sought with the ASME B89 Committee on "Dimensional Metrology," and new committees ASME Y14.5.1 on "Mathematical Definition of Y14.5", and ASME Y14.5.2 on "Certification of GD&T Professionals.".....""...... Suggestions for improvement of this Standard will be welcomed.They should be sent to The American Society of Mechanical Engineers;Attention:Secretary,Y14 Main Committee;345 East 47th Street;New York, NY 10017.This revision was approved as an ASME National Standard on March 14, 1994."[from the book of the foreword (this foreword is not a part of ASME Y14.5M-1994) by the commettee]

This is the absolute bible of the subject. No mechanical engineer worth his or her salt would be without a copy. It's trenchant coverage of the methods that should be employed in mechanical design is in evidence practically on every page.

Very good book for understanding dimensioning and tolerancing. Lots of illustrations makes this book one of the best I have seen.

This is a cutdown version of the ISO standard with virtual datum features disallowed. Clearly written and easy to understand if you give it time.
