Datum precedence is a fundamental principle in the design and manufacture of mechanical parts and assemblies.
It refers to the order of importance assigned to different datums, which are specific points, lines, or planes on a part, which are used as references for measurement and geometric tolerances.
In this animated and interactive object, learners observe how two, three, or four groups of electrons around the central atom cause the shape of the molecule to be linear, trigonal planar, bent, tetrahedral, or pyramidal. Seven examples and eight interactive questions are provided.
In this interactive object, learners examine standard and metric thread specifications used in engineering drawings. In a brief quiz, they identify various internal and external thread representations.
