compound projection tolerance.
recently i encountered a drawing that i thought had an unusual callout on it. the feature control frame was for a threaded hole. the upper portion indicated a diametric positional tol of .015 dia with a projection of .750 relative to a, b, c (normal). the block directly below, attached, indicated a perpendicularity of .005 dia projected .750 relative to a.
is this acceptable or justified by the standard y14.5?
any known similar examples?
if you are questioning the perpendiculairy, so am i.

the only thing that i can think of is that the person was trying to tighten up the perpendicularity so they called out the perpendicularity tighter than the positional. i would've just said positional of .015 to b, c... then directly below it i'd use a projected positional to a of .005, projected to .750.
i'm not sure if this is prohibited in y14.5.

it's probably a misguided attempt to do the same thing as a composite fcf with the pltz having a value of .015 wrt a, b, and c and the frtz having a value of .005 wrt a.
i don't think the standard specifically prohibits what this guy has done so i guess it doesn't mean it's correct or incorrect but there is a compliant way to do what i think he's trying to do.

if this were to be accepted as a valid callout, how would the formula for fixed fasteners be applied?
(i believe it is invalid but have difficulty in convincing the designer.)
5.5 (pg. 115) references figure 6-38 (pg. 184) applying a projected tolerance zone to a perpendicularity callout.
5.9 (pg.135) has a note (pg.139) a further refinement of perpendicularity within the positional tolerance may be required.
the fixed fastener would still use the positional location. the .750 long projected tolerance zone applied to the .015 dia establishes the virtual condition.
the .750 long projected tolerance zone on the perpendicularity allows the .005 cylinder to float inside the .015 cylinder, at most up to the tangency of the two cylinders, acting only as a refinement.
i'm still not sure the projected makes sense on the perpendicular though weavedreamer. while not perhaps the best or most elegant way of doing it the basic perpendicularity makes sense, it's just the projection of it that gets me.
kenat, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...
so going by weavedreamers post, does it seem that if the projected tolerance zone were removed from the positional fcf and left in the perp, this would be valid? i think this would be okay. the positional locates the hole and the perp with p controls the amount of perp error.

powerhound, i was thinking the opposite. keep the projection on the position but lose it on the perpendicular.
however, thinking about it, i think weavedreamer may be right as is. however i think i'd still look making the bottom one positional as well.
as to applying the fixed fastener calc. wouldn't this only apply to the top positional tolerance. for this to make any sense to me the perpendicularity would have to be applied for a different reason than simple hole pattern matching, wouldn't it?
kenat, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...
if the projected tolerance zone were removed from the positional tolerance, the perpendicularity would still only move within a .015 dia zone, and effectively yield the same envelope due to the projected tolerance zone applied to the perpendicularity. therefore, the p.t.z. on the t.o.p. is superfluous.
just in case the abbreviations are ambiguous, a reiteration would be: the projected tolerance zone on the tolerance of position is extraneous. |
