QUESTIONNAIRE ON GEOMETRIC DIMENSIONS AND TOLERANCES

1. Using GD&T:

 a) Tighter tolerances can be achieved in manufacturing.

 b) Creates a means for expressing the true design requirements for a part.

 c) More tolerance is made available to manufacturing than is possible with only
plus/minus tolerancing

 d) Both b) and c)

2. How can properly implemented GD&T save money in the manufacturing process?

 a) Better definition of the design requirements, increased availability of tolerances, better
communication between design, manufacturing and inspection, fewer engineering changes.

 b) It can't. GD&T is just a way to illustrate how to inspect parts.

 c) By creating extra tolerance that did not physically exist without using GD&T.

 d) By defining the datum references that must be used by manufacturing for fixturing.

3. What is a Basic Dimension?

 a) An exact dimension with no tolerance associated with it.

 b) A dimension in a box that must be strictly adhered to by manufacturing.

 c) The nominal size of a feature.

 d) A numerical value that describes a theoretically exact size, profile, orientation or
location of a feature or a datum target. It is the basis from which permissible variations
(tolerances) are established.

4. What is a Feature Control Frame?

 a) A symbolic means of expressing the type of control on a feature, and defining a
tolerance zone for that control.

 b) A box on the drawing that tells the manufacturer how to make the part.
 c) A box on the drawing that tells the inspector what measurements have to be made for
every part.

 d) A symbol that dictates the tolerance of position for a datum target.

5. What is a "Material Condition Modifier?"

 a) The maximum dimension possible according to the tolerance specified.

 b) The minimum dimension possible according to the tolerance specified.

 c) A symbol placed on a feature of size that states how much tolerance is available for
that feature.

 d) A symbol (or lack thereof) placed in a feature control frame that indicates how much,
or if, any extra geometric tolerance is available for the feature as the actual mating size of the
feature changes.

6. A positional tolerance defines:

 a) A zone within which the center, axis, or center plane of a feature of size is permitted
to vary from a true position.

 b) A boundary located at the true position that may not be violated by the surface or
surfaces of the considered feature, if the position specification is on an MMC or LMC basis.

 c) Both a and b.

 d) Neither a nor b.

7. Which is the correct definition of regardless of feature size?

 a) Regardless of where a feature of size lies within its form tolerance, the tolerance of
size must be met.

 b) Control placed on a feature of size stating that the tolerance of form or position must
be met regardless of where the feature lies within its form tolerance.

 c) Regardless of where a feature of size lies within its size tolerance, the tolerance of size
must be met.

 d) Control placed on a feature of size stating that the geometric tolerance must be met
regardless of where the feature lies within its size tolerance.
8. What is "Rule 1" (i.e. the "Envelope Rule" or the "Perfect form at MMC Rule"), and
what effect does it have, if any, on
flatness? ...straightness? ...perpendicularity? ...position?

 a) Unless otherwise specified, the limits of size of an individual feature of size control
the form of the feature as well as the size. The rule can control flatness and straightness, but
not perpendicularity or position.

 b) Size tolerance controls form tolerance. This rule has no effect on flatness,
straightness, or position.

 c) If specified by using an MMC symbol next to the tolerances in a feature control
frame, then size tolerance controls form. It affects flatness, straightness, perpendicularity and
position.

d) Rule 1 states that the form of a feature must always be perfect, but it has no effect on
perpendicularity.

9. What is the difference between a Datum and a Datum Feature?

 a) A Datum and Datum Feature are synonymous.

 b) A Datum is theoretical, a Datum Feature is real.

 c) A Datum is a feature of size, and a Datum Feature is a surface feature.

 d) A Datum Feature is theoretical, and a Datum is real.

10. What is a Datum Reference Frame?

 a) Any arbitrary coordinate system.

 b) A set of target points from which measurements are made.

 c) A symbol on the drawing that specifies the tolerance associated with a particular
feature.

 d) A set of three mutually perpendicular planes derived from the specified Datum
Features in the order of precedence listed in a feature control frame.

11. What is MMC Virtual Condition?

 a) The collective effect of the MMC limit of size of a feature of size, and any applicable
geometric tolerance.

 b) The largest external feature (e.g. pin), or the smallest internal feature (e.g. hole).

 c) The perfectly formed envelope that just fits around (or inside of) a feature of size.
 d) Rule 1 states that the form of a feature must always be perfect, but it has no effect on
perpendicularity.
