What is sectional view

www.me.umn.edu

A section view is a view used on a drawing to

show an area or hidden part of an object by cutting
away or removing some of that object. The cut line
is called a “cutting plane”, and can be done in
several ways. The following slides will help show
the several methods or types of “section view
 the different types of sectional views

Full Section
If the imaginary cutting plane passes through the entire object, splitting the
drawn object in two with the interior of the object revealed, this is called a
"full section." A full section is the most widely-used sectional view.

Half View
In this view, the cutting plane is assumed to bend at a right angle and cuts
through only half of the represented object, not the full length. When the
quarter of the object that was cut is removed, the remainder is called a "half
section." A half section view is effective only on symmetrical objects, and its
main purpose is to show an object's internal and external construction in the
same drawing

Offset View
When specific features of an object that need highlighting are not located on
the straight line of the cutting plane, an irregular-shaped cutting plane is
imagined cutting the object, revealing the desired components. This is called
an "offset view," and is effective on complex objects. The bends in the
imaginary cutting pane are always 90 degrees.

Revolving View
A "revolving view" is effective for elongated objects or the elongated section
of an object. In this view, the cross-sectional shape of ribs, spokes, and
other projections of the object are featured. The cutting plane cuts the object
at an angle, but the drawing is rotated for a better view by the observer.
Broken View
When only a small part of the object needs viewing, the cutting plane is not
used. An irregular cut line removes a section of the object at the desired
depth, leaving a "broken view." A broken view is helpful when only specific
interior details in a certain part of the object need featuring.

what is the purpose of sectional

view

Sectioned views are recognized by having close thin

black parallel lines called crosshatching or section lining,
often at 45 degrees, within the view. Thepurpose of a
sectioned view is to improve the reader's ability to
visualize completely the object being drawn

Sectional view in petrol engineering

In petrol drawing we also need sectional view for
example if we have petroleum tools and we need to
know what is inside it and hidden part we could
easly use sectional view
