GD&T Position


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,
We are frequently encountering measurement‑related questions. Many junior customers keep referring to various international standards such as ISO standards.
 
Our Calypso software has already been configured for ISO‑compliant evaluation.
I would like to clarify: when evaluating the position tolerance of a hole, is Gaussian (least‑squares) fitting the default method according to ISO requirements?
 
Which ISO standard and specific clause defines this rule?

Hi and sorry, i have no document about this.

But years on forum and work on machines can give a clue how it is.
My main knowledge was with using ZEISS Inspect, where i can easily visually see how is ISO, ASME and GEOMETRY behaving.

Many hints were from

From ISO 1101:2017

Extracted integral feature: the real, tangible, non-perfect feature as probed by the CMM.
Essentially the probed point collection belonging to that feature (a hole, a plane, etc.)

Extracted derived feature: the feature computed from one ore more integral features.
Examples are real (non-perfect, i.e. curved) median lines (centerlines) and median surfaces (like the median plane of a slot).

Optionally, it is possible to specify that the associated (fitted) feature, for instance a Gaussian fitted plane or the perfect centerline of a Gaussian fitted cylinder shall lie inside the tolerance zone. If the Gaussian fitted element (feature) must lie inside the the tolerance zone, rather than the extracted element, this is indicated by adding (G) in the second compartment of the tolerance indicator. See picture below.

In many cases, getting the Gaussian associated plane inside a tolerance zone is way easier than the extracted surface itself.

So, answering your question, no, the Gaussian (least‑squares) fitting is not the default method for the the feature to be measured.
By default, the extracted (real, probed, or calculated from probed points) feature must be measured.

i dont have the standard but in AUKOM GDT AND AUKOM Level 2 datums are allways tangencial this is according the standard ISO 5459 that sould be as well activacted in calypso. i can provide some AUKOM slides and and you should consult this article!!

This is a great article i recomend everyone read it

i've donwload the : handbook ISO-GPS dimensionning (16/10/2025) (english or french) at

https://cetiso.fr/livret-iso-gps/

updated about ISO 5459 2024 and ISO 14405-1 2025,

 

may be not exhaustive but 92 pages of knowledge I wish i have had some years ago

  there is one line about datum tangential, and nothing about gauss on feature, but some pages about the differences beetween ISO and ASME, wish is often asked on this forum.

good reading
