ANSI Y14.5M

ANSI Y14.5M is a standard developed by the American National Standards Institute that outlines consistent rules for geometric dimensioning and tolerancing on engineering drawings. It ensures clear communication of physical features, dimensions, and allowable variations for manufacturing, assembly, and inspection processes. By following these guidelines, engineers and manufacturers can precisely specify and interpret how parts should fit and function, reducing errors and ensuring quality. Overall, ANSI Y14.5M promotes clarity, uniformity, and accuracy in technical drawings across different organizations and industries.
