ANSI Y14.5 (now ASME Y14.5) is a standard for geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). It establishes symbols, rules, definitions, and requirements for stating and interpreting geometric tolerances used on engineering drawings and related documents. GD&T is a symbolic language used to precisely define the allowable variation in the form, size, orientation, and location of part features. It is commonly used in manufacturing to ensure parts meet design intent, are interchangeable, and function correctly. It reduces ambiguity in design specifications, improves communication between design and manufacturing, and facilitates consistent inspection and measurement practices.
