ISO to ASME conversion course
What is it?
A half day course for engineers, designers and technicians who need to change from the ISO system for technical specification practices to the ASME Y14.5 system.

This course provides an overview of the principle differences between the ISO and ASME systems (and the areas in which they are the same).

Topics such as geometric tolerancing (GD&T) are covered in very general terms - specific courses are available for those who need a more detailed understanding.
  • Learn about rule #1 and the envelope of perfect form.


  • Find out about the ASME system of GD & T.

  • Discover what you need to do to comply with Y14.5.
Please note: this is not an appropriate course for those who need to be trained up as practitioners and interpreters of GD & T. That is covered in the Introduction to Geometrical Tolerancing course.
ASME Y14.5 is used more widely than just in the USA. It is also the standard in general use in South America, Canada, and worldwide by companies in American or Canadian ownership.
Duration
3½ hours.


Who is it for?
Mechanical engineers, designers and technical staff who are familiar with the requirements of BS 308, BS 8888 or the ISO system.
