Geometrical Tolerancing to BS 8888 and ISO standards – Level 2

What is it?

An intensive two-day course in geometrical Tolerancing, which follows on from, and builds upon, the Level 1 course.

• Learn how to define more advanced datum structures.
• Find out how to use the Least Material Condition modifier.
• Discover how to use the Maximum Material Condition modifier with datum references (datum shift).

The course covers some of the more advanced concepts of geometrical tolerancing and its application and interpretation. It is suitable for anyone who has completed the Level 1 course.

Duration

2 days for classroom delivery; 3 days for on-line delivery.

Who is it for?

Mechanical, design and production engineers.

Delegates are required to have completed the Level 1 course.
