April 30, 2005 -- Alex Krulikowski, acknowledged industry expert on geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) will speak at the ASME Y14 Standards Committee on Engineering Drawing and Related Documentation Practices, May 4, 2005, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The ASME Y14.5 (Dimensioning and Tolerancing) Subcommittee meets twice a year at various locations within the United States. The meetings are open to the public.

Krulikowski will present a proposal on technical changes to “feature of size,” discussing what happens when surfaces are not opposed.
“The current standard doesn’t address how to measure least material condition on features of size where sides are not fully opposed,” said Krulikowski, founder and president of Effective Training Inc. (ETI), an international supplier of GD&T training software, books, videos and other teaching materials. “This proposal addresses how that can be done in industry.”

Copies of the presentation will be available online at ETI’s website (www.etinews.com). See the technical paper section under GD&T resources.

Krulikowski has a degree in industrial vocational education and over 30 years of industry experience. He has developed a variety of hands-on workshops that teach GD&T fundamentals and advanced concepts; tolerance stacks; statistical tolerance stacks; solid model tolerancing; ISO/ASME; and a GD&T overview.
