Geometrical Tolerancing to BS 8888 and ISO standards – Level 1

• Discover how the system of geometrical tolerancing works.
• Find out how to annotate drawings correctly
• Learn how different types of tolerance control different characteristics, and how to choose the right tolerance for your application.

The course covers the fundamental concepts of geometrical tolerancing and its application and interpretation. It is suitable for anyone who is familiar with the conventions of engineering drawing and limit (or ±) tolerances on dimensions, and is relevant to anyone who has to produce or interpret mechanical engineering specifications.

Where possible, the course uses examples of drawings or components provided by the client to help illustrate the course material and as the basis of some worked examples and exercises.

The course is based on BS 8888 and ISO standards (a version is also available based on the American ASME Y14.5 standard). Delegates are provided with comprehensive course notes, and a workbook with questions and exercises to accompany the training material.

The course is also available through the National Physical Laboratory training framework as an NPL-certified course.

To maximize the effectiveness of the training, an upper limit to the class size of 10 delegates is recommended.

3 days (available for classroom or on-line delivery).

Mechanical, production and design engineers, drawing office and inspection personnel.

Some familiarity with engineering drawing practice and conventional dimensioning and tolerancing is required.
