Diameter Symbol included in FCF of Squareness

[Tomver]

Good Morning all!

I had a discussion with one of our Q.C. inspector regarding the diameter symbol which is included in the Squareness tolerance. He said that whatever the Squareess error should be doubled. He treats it like diametral Concentricty or Tru Pos., But if you calculated the angles multibly by the feature length it comes out that the error is the same as what the pcdmis is calculating it.

Please let me know what are your opinion on this. Why do you need to include the diameter symbol to the Geometric tolerance like the Squareness?
From what I've learn the squareness is a cylindrical tolerance zone, the feature must lie within that zone in order to call it a good part.

Thanks to all.

If the toleranced feature is cylindrical (or just round), it should have a diametrical symbol included. When it is a planar surface, the zone is not cylindrical and it would not (should not) have a diametrical tolerance zone.

I have provided a couple of links below to some GD&T sites that may explain further:

I do not think that the results from PC-DMIS must be doubled.

The calculated centerline of the feature must lie within a cylinder of given diameter. I do not see where this must be doubled.
