Description

Learner Profile:

For Designers, Engineers, Inspectors, Technicians and Engineering Management

Learner prerequisites:

Completion of the Geometrical Tolerancing to BS 8888 and ISO Standards Level 1 course (AMC21036A). Learners should have the ability to read technical drawings.

Learning outcomes:

Participants will learn about:  

  • Tolerance zone definitions (fixed, variable, limited, etc.)  
  • Tolerance feature definitions (filters, associations, etc.)  
  • Plane and feature indicators (intersection plane indicators, etc.)  
  • Adjacent indications (UF, ‘between’, ‘all around’ etc.)  
  • Grouping features (nX, ‘all over’, etc.)  
  • Grouping tolerance zones (CZ, SZ, CZR, and SIM)  
  • Multiple tolerances applied to groups of features (e.g., hole patterns)  
  • Datums and ‘situation features’  
  • Common datums based on aligned and non-aligned features.  
  • Datums based on groups of features.  
  • Datums based on complex surfaces.  
  • How location and orientation tolerances control form  
  • Maximum Material Requirement and Virtual Condition  
  • Datums based on Virtual Condition Boundaries  
  • Least Material Requirement  
  • Tolerances applied to non-rigid parts (ISO 10579 and Free state condition) 


Course Content:


  • Review of Level 1 material


  • Geometrical specifications (additional indications and modifiers)


  • Grouping features together (CZ, SZand SIM)
  • Advanced datum systems


  • Maximum Material Requirement applied to datum features.


  • Least Material Requirement

  • Multiple tolerances applied to groups of features
  • Tolerance zone definitions (fixed, variable, limited, etc.) 
  • Tolerance feature definitions (filters, associations, etc.) 
  • Plane and feature indicators (intersection plane indicators, etc.) 






Duration:

2 days

Exam/Continuous Assessment details

No formal assessment. 


Tasks/activities undertaken by learners during the course are assessed informally by the trainer to ensure understanding of the course content. 

Certification / Awarding Body/Credits

Certificate: Vendor Certificate of Completion


Awarding Body: Engineers Ireland and Training Provider   


Credits: This course awards 14 hours Continuous Professional Development (CPD) - as recognised by Engineers Ireland. This is documented on the certificate. 

Progression Pathway:

This is the highest-level course for Geometric Tolerancing and Dimensioning. Successful completion of this course would support learners pursue a design engineering role.
