Geometrical product specifications (GPS) - Dimensional tolerancing - Part 2 : dimensions other than linear sizes
ISO 14405-2:2011 illustrates the use of geometrical tolerancing for dimensions that are not linear sizes to avoid the ambiguity that the use of ± tolerances on these dimensions causes. Both linear and angular dimensions, except size of features of size, are covered. Dimensional tolerancing can be indicated by ± tolerancing or geometrical tolerancing.The ambiguity caused by using ± tolerances for dimensions other than linear sizes is explained in an informative annex.

This document illustrates the ambiguity caused by the use of dimensional specifications to control properties other than linear or angular size and the benefit of using geometrical specifications instead. Dimensional tolerancing can be indicated by ± tolerancing or geometrical specifications. The ambiguity caused by using ± tolerances for dimensions other than linear or angular sizes (for individual tolerances and general tolerances according to, e.g. ISO 2768-1 and ISO 8062-3) is explained in Annex A. NOTE 1 The figures, as shown in this document, merely illustrate the text and are not intended to reflect actual usage. The figures are consequently simplified to indicate only the relevant principles. NOTE 2 For indications of dimensional specifications, see the following: — ISO 14405-1 for linear size; — ISO 14405-3 for angular size; — ISO 2538-1 and ISO 2538-2 for wedges; — ISO 3040 for cones. NOTE 3 The rules for geometrical specifications are given in ISO 1101.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!
