perpendicularity question

[duk748]

hello - I was told today that I did not understand the use of perpendicularity - I have a piece that has 2 90 degree surfaces - the top surface is 10" long which is perpendicular to the front surface which is 36" long = the front surface is datum a the top surface is perpendicular to a within .001" - I was told that in this configuration that surface a could be out by at least .036" (.001"x36) - this does not seem right to me - I thought that surface b must lie between 2 planes within .001" perpendicular to surface a - I would think that if a straightness tolerance of say .001"per inch on datum a then that might apply - I just need to clarify it for myself - any help would be greatly appreciated - thank you

duk748,

As per ASME Y14.5, perpendicularity is a linear measurement, as you have described. Perhaps your co-worker thinks it is an angle.

Your interpretation is correct. There is no ratio "multiplier" based on the length of the datum feature or the feature under control. See Figure 6-3 on page 100 in Y14,5-2009. Note too, when applied to a planar surface, there is implied flatness equal to the perpendicularity tolerance.

hello again & thank you very much - i was sure i was right but considering his position i have to make it wrong - if you understand my meaning - thank you again for the vote of confidence - have a great day

duk748,
Is there a chance that your co-worker thinks about something like this? And are you sure he meant .036", and not .0036"?
