Completing the feature control frame after you enter the required information in the geometric tolerance dialog box, pick the ok button and pick a point to place the tolerance in. The projected tolerance zone applies only to these lengths, not to the length of the axis within the workpiece. To distribute geometric tolerances between mating datum features, clearance holes and threaded holes that use projected tolerance zones. It should not be globally applied to all tolerances as this can cause tolerances to fail that in reality will pass and assemble correctly. A feature control frame can specify the size of the tolerance zone at mmc, lmc or rfs regardless of feature size. Projected tolerance zone is very important when significant shaft length must be compensated for. Projected tolerance zone dimensioning and tolerancing.

The projected tolerance modifier is used for the long bolts or studs, which secure two mating plates. An american national standard engineering drawing and related documentation practices mathematical definition of dimensioning and tolerancing principles.
Projected tolerance zone symbol in the case of a tolerance of orientation angularity and position, the tolerance can also apply to the external projection of it and not to the tolerance itself, hence this is a projected tolerance zone. The questions to ask to select the optimal datum features for an assembly. If this is not present then the control is illegal. If a pin is near the edge of the geometric tolerance zone, it can be reduced in size to relieve the tolerance limits. Form tolerance and location tolerance profile tolerance. Where the feature is a screw joining two parts, the minimum specified length is the max imum permissible thickness of the mating parts. Iso licensed material reproduced with the permission of the international organization for standardization, iso. Projected tolerance zone symbol used in a feature control frame in geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, a projected tolerance zone is defined to predict the final dimensions and locations of features on a component or assembly subject to tolerance stackup. To tolerance a fixed fastener assembly with appropriate geometric characteristic symbols. In order to promote public education and public safety, equal justice for all, a better informed citizenry, the rule of law, world trade and world peace, this legal document is hereby made available on a noncommercial basis, as it is the right of all humans to know and speak the laws that govern them.
Defines the method of tolerancing by indication of a projected tolerance zone and specifies the method of indication. Hopefuly kev will correct me andor elaborate if necessary. The size of the tolerance zone is dependent on the size of the hole. This calculator will calculate the required field compensating for the effects of the fastener projection. This section explains the profile characteristics for form and location tolerances. Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing for mechanical design. Smallest holes largest lengths notice how nice and round the hole is on the real part. The application of a projected tolerance zone depend on the features that are required to be inspected. Along with a p modifier there should be a distance that the tolerance is projected above the surface. In order to get our fence post to do what we want it to do, we will use the projected tolerance zone modifier. No part of this iso standard may be reproduced or utilized in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopying and microfilm, without permission in writing from the international organization for standardization, iso, case postale 56, 1211 geneva 20. Annex a gives examples of indication on drawings, interpretation and functional length. So a projected tolerance zone is not the same as merely tightening the tolerance number.

Apr 09, 2016 purpose of this video is to discuss the projected tolerance zone with case study. When mating parts are to be assembled over tight fitting pins or studs or with parts threaded into a tapped hole, it is possible for interference to result due to lack of perpendicularity of holes, even though the holes are located within their positional tolerances. If a hole is near the edge of the geometric tolerance zone, the hole size can be increased to relieve the tolerance limits. Projected tolerance zone in accordance with asme y14. Limits the worst case scenario in terms of being able to assemble parts this scenario is called the virtual condition on the flip side, it provides a bonus tolerance for the machinist.
