Geometrical product specifications (GPS). Geometrical tolerancing. Tolerances of form, orientation, location and run-out
Also Known As:
What is this standard about?
This is an engineering drawing standard about geometrical tolerancing. It defines the symbol language for the geometrical specification of workpieces and the rules for their interpretation. It is part of the BS 8888 family on technical product documentation and specification.
Who is this standard for?
It will typically be used in the aerospace, defence, automotive, rail and nuclear sectors but is equally applicable to any engineering or manufacturing organization needing to produce engineering drawings in 2D or 3D. Users will be:
Why should you use this standard?
This updated standard makes sure that all geometrical tolerancing requirements can be applied to 3D CAD models as well as to 2D engineering drawings. It will help design engineers specify their products more accurately and unambiguously.
What’s changed since the last update?
Tools have been added to:
As well, some of the existing tolerancing rules have been clarified to improve user-friendliness.
