Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T): Orientation Tolerances

In Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), an orientation tolerance is used to control the parallelism, perpendicularity, or angularity of a part feature with respect to a frame of reference (defined by the datum references). This interactive, online course discusses the three different types of orientation tolerances: Parallelism, Perpendicularity, and Angularity and how they are communicated in GD&T.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:
  • Describe the three different types of orientation tolerances: Parallelism, Perpendicularity, and Angularity
  • Describe how a tangent plane allows points on the feature to lie outside the tolerance zone
  • Describe how to interpret the associated tolerance zones for both planar and cylindrical features
  • Describe how orientation tolerances can interact with size tolerances to allow maximum flexibility for the manufacturer
