The mass proliferation of ASME Y14.5 based GD&T training material means even when many companies have sought to train employees to use the ISO system of GD&T the reality is that employees have been taught to apply the ASME system of symbols and rules.There are many reasons for the ASME Y14.5 system of GD&T to be more dominant standard globally: Social media, ASME’s list of certified geometric dimensioning and tolerancing professionals (GDTP), and personal experience from a decade of GD&T training were combined to show where these two GD&T standards are dominant. Even in western Europe, where ISO GD&T is more common, ASME Y14.5 is often the GD&T training and applications professionals are using. founded system of GD&T (Y14.5), today published under the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), is found in more commonly around the globe. While there are businesses that elect to use the ISO standard within the United States, the U.S. Nations with Documented ASME/ISO GD&T Presence ISO defaults to a least squares fitting, although where specification operators are applied the maximum inscribed, minimum circumscribed or other fitting algorithms can be applied. This means a maximum inscribed and minimum circumscribed fitting algorithm must be applied to the data collected during inspection.

Mathematics – ASME defines actual mating envelopes in terms of smallest size that can be contracted about an external feature or largest size that can be expanded within an internal feature so that it coincides with the surface(s) at the highest points.ISO employees position tolerances to locate not only to features of size, but to nominally planar features as well. Applications – The position tolerance is highly common in both versions, but ASME reserves the use of position tolerances for locating features of size only.The associated feature (fit cylinder, parallel planes, etc.) is used for certain geometric tolerances, but not the reported size. ISO, by comparison only reports local size. Concepts – ASME maintains that there are two types of size to be reported for most features of size local size (or opposing points) and the mating envelope.There are several notable differences in the ISO and ASME specifications of GD&T. There are two standards that are dominant among the global industries and throughout global supply chains. While there are several different versions of GD&T published by various nations. It’s been more than 80 years since the first publication of Y14.5, back then under ASA, and Y14.5 and GD&T has evolved to become the primary means of communicating product requirements for mechanical components and assemblies of virtually all types of products.
