Perpendicularity
The condition of a surface or axis at a right angle to a datum plane or axis.

To be competitive in this global market, manufacturers must continue to drive increased productivity from all aspects of the machining process. Automated machining has produced tremendous gains in productivity through speed and repeatability.
But to fully leverage those investments, our customers have learned that where and how the part is held will have the greatest impact on whether the parts meet spec, and how fast they can push the machine.
At the end of the day it’s all about making more sellable parts. This means eliminating defects and compressing the time to setup and process. Fully understanding and applying GD&T principles allows our customers to be more productive. Here is how that works.
Parallelism
The condition of a surface, line or axis which is equidistant at all points from a datum plane or axis.
Concentricity
That condition where the median points of all diametrically opposed elements of a figure of revolution…
Total Runout
A composite control of all surface elements.
Circularity
A condition where all points of a surface of revolution, at any section perpendicular to a common axis, are equidistant…
Flatness
All the points on a surface are in one plane, the tolerance specified by a zone formed by two parallel planes.
