GD&T - Form and position tolerances

Symbols per ISO 1101 / ASME Y14.5, translated into German.

Form

SymbolNameDatumDescription
⏤ Straightness - Deviation of an edge / axis from an ideal straight line.
⏥ Flatness - Deviation of a surface from an ideal plane.
○ Roundness - Deviation of a circular line from the ideal circle.
⌭ Cylindricity - Combination of roundness, straightness of the axis and generator line.
⌒ Line profile - Deviation of a line from the target profile.
⌓ Surface profile - Deviation of a surface from the target profile.

Direction

SymbolNameDatumDescription
∥ Parallelism yes Position of an axis/surface parallel to the datum.
⊥ Perpendicularity yes Position of an axis/surface at a 90° angle to the datum.
∠ Slope yes Position at a defined angle ≠ 90° to the datum.

Ort

SymbolNameDatumDescription
⌖ position yes True position of a feature (possible with MMC/LMC).
◎ Concentricity yes Axis within the tolerance zone around the datum axis.
⌯ Symmetry yes Middle element lies symmetric to the datum.

Run

SymbolNameDatumDescription
↗ runout yes Runout of a single point when rotating about the reference axis.
⌰ Total runout yes Runout across the entire cylindrical/face surface.

Modifier

SymbolNameDatumDescription
Ⓜ MMC - Maximum Material Condition - largest size with bonus tolerance.
Ⓛ LMC - Least Material Condition - smallest size with bonus tolerance.
Ⓟ Projected tol. - Tolerance zone projected beyond the workpiece.
Ⓕ Free state - Measurement in the unclamped state.

Datum = tolerance is measured against a datum feature (datum). MMC/LMC modifiers allow bonus tolerance.

Note: all cutting and material values are guide values. The tool or machine manufacturer's recommendations are decisive.
