The PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) Dimensional Test Results Report provides a record of the dimensional data taken from product manufactured during the production run. A ballooned part drawing is required as part of the design record, and is referenced in the dimensional test results. The Dimensional Results Report for element 9 must include:
Dimensional results for each unique manufacturing process
Actual measured results of all dimensions (except reference dimensions), characteristics, and specifications as noted on the design record and Control Plan
Design record that includes: change level, drawing date, organization name and part number
Identify one of the measured parts as the master sample
Generally, these requirements are met by including a ballooned (or bubbled) part drawing and a spreadsheet that includes all of the dimensions/specifications and the test results.
The AIAG PPAP Manual does not specify how many parts should be inspected. However, the industry standard we see is 6 pieces from the first lot. They do not need to be the first 6 pieces, and the master sample does not have to be the first one you produce.
Other supporting documents for dimensional results
Depending on the requirements of your customer, instead of the above Dimensional Results Report, you may be able to submit a checked print where the results are legibly written on a part drawing.

A dimensional inspection report is an easy-to-read summary of the inspection. It will include a print with ballooned dimensions. This is usually a circled or squared number adjacent to each print dimension. The balloons should include each case of a multiple instance dimension referenced.
The Trick to Dimensional Analysis is to keep your units in your conversion factors, and set them up so all units cancel except the units you want in your answer. This is easiest seen by looking at a problem.
for all dimensions to ensure consistency, especially important for shipping or fitting purposes. The standard notation for box dimensions is Length x Width x Height (L x W x H).
The dimensional test results document summarizes testing of a production part to verify its dimensions meet specifications. It lists the organization, part number, name, design changes, and test facility. Dimensional measurements were taken and results recorded against engineering specifications.
Dimensional analysis, also known as factor-label method or unit-factor method, is a method used to convert one unit to a different unit. To do this, we make use of a conversion factor, which is a numerical quantity that we multiply or divide to the quantity or number that we want to convert.
Who is Responsible for PPAP? Suppliers are responsible for the PPAP process. Responsibilities include maintaining a system that documents all the necessary elements required for PPAP submission.
Level 2: PSW with product samples and limited supporting data. Level 3: PSW with product samples and complete supporting data. Level 4: PSW and other requirements as defined by the customer. Level 5: PSW with product samples and complete supporting data available for review at the supplier's manufacturing location.
A dimensional approach simplifies access to the data that you want to summarize or compare. For example, using the dimensional model to query the number of products sold in the West, the database server finds the West column and calculates the total for all row values in that column.
Dimensional analysis can be used to check if a mistake in your algebra has occurred. For example, if you mistakenly divided a mass by an area to get density, the answer would be in kg/m2. Given that we know density must be in kg/m3 we would spot the mistake.
Dimensional analysis (also called factor label method or unit analysis) is used to convert from one set of units to another. This method is used for both simple (feet to inches) and complex (g/cm3 to kg/gallon) conversions and uses relationships or conversion factors between different sets of units.
There are two basic methods of placing dimensions on a sketch. They may be placed so they read from the bottom of the sketch (unidirectional dimensions) or from the bottom and right side (aligned dimensions). The unidirectional system is usually best, because it is more easily read by workmen.
To create a dimension in your own schema, you must have the CREATE DIMENSION system privilege. To create a dimension in another user's schema, you must have the CREATE ANY DIMENSION system privilege. In either case, you must have the READ or SELECT object privilege on any objects referenced in the dimension.
