Module 2: INTERPRETING DRAWINGS AND SKETCHES

Basic Information on an Engineering Drawing

TITLE

The title of the drawing. The title block contains

the drawing number and all the information
required to identify the part or assembly
represented.

NAME

The name of the person who made the

drawing. This information is important so that
problems or questions with the drawing can be traced back to its source.

REVISION BLOCK

Each drawing has a revision block, which is usually located in the upper right
corner. All changes to the drawing are noted in this block. Changes are dated
and identified by a number or letter.

Verification Data

In many engineering firms, drawings are inspected by a second person,

usually a senior officer, before they are sent to manufacture, so that any
potential problems can be identified early. The name of the person who
checked the who checked the drawing and the date on which he did so is
recorded in the revision box.

Version Number

Drawings may be modified or altered or during the period that a part or

project is being assembled. Giving each drawing a version number helps
people identify if they are using the most recent rendering of the drawing.

SCALE

The scale of the drawing, or its size in relation to the actual project or object.
Large parts will not fit on paper, so the scale provides a quick guide to the
final size of the project or object.

Date Developed: Document No.

PROJECTION SYSTEM

The projection system used to create the drawing should be identified to help
people read the drawing. (Projection system will be discussed in a later
section.)

COMPANY NAME

A special block or box on the drawing may contain a list of necessary stocks
to make an assembly. IT also indicates the type of stock, size, and specific
amount required.

USE OF LINES

To read blueprint, you must understand the use of lines. In drawing an

object, a draftsman arranges the different views in certain way, and then
uses different types of lines to convey information.

LINE THICKNESS

For most engineering drawings you will require two (2) types.

Interpreting Drawings and Sketches

One of the best ways to communicate your ideas is through some form of
picture or drawing. This is especially true for the technical worker. The
purpose of this module, therefore, is to give you the basics of sketching and
drawing.

In this lesson, we will treat “sketching” and “drawing” as one, although

“sketching” generally means freehand drawing, while “drawing” usually refers
to using drawing instrument, from compasses to computers. To bring
precision to the drawings.

Drawing or sketching is the universal language used by engineers.

Technicians and skilled craftsmen. Drawings convey all the necessary
information to the person who will make or assemble the object in the
drawing. As a welder, you must be able work from a drawing in order to
fabricate metal parts exactly as they have been designed. To read a drawing,
you must know how engineers use lines, dimensions, and notes to
communicate their ideas on paper. In this module, we briefly discuss each of
these drawing elements.

Learner Outcomes:

At the end of this lesson, you should be able to do the following:

• Identify standard alphabet of lines

• Identify orthographic and isometric drawings and views
• Interpret standard drawing and welding symbols, dimensional tolerances
and notations

LAYOUT OF AN ENGINEERING DRAWING

It is important that you follow some simple rules when producing an

engineering drawing which although may not be useful now, will be useful
when working in industry.

All engineering drawings should feature an information box. An example is

shown below.

Of thickness: a thick and thin line. The general recommendation are that
thick lines are twice as thick as thin lie.

A thick continuous line is used for visible edges

and outlines

A thin line is used for hatching, leader lines,

short center line, dimensions and projections.

LINE STYLES

Other line styles used to clarify important feature on drawings are:

Thin chain lines, which are common feature on

engineering drawings are used to indicate center lines Center lines, in turn
identify the center of a circle, cylindrical features, or a line of symmetry.
(Center lines will be discussed in more detail later in this module.)

Dashed lines are used to show important hidden

detail, for example, wall thickness and holes.

Kind of graphic alphabet commonly known as the alphabet of lines. Two-

line widths—thick and thin—are generally used. Drawings are easier to
read when there is good contrast among different kinds of lines.

VISIBLE / OBJECT LINES - Thick dark solid (unbroken) lines, called Visible
or Object Lines are used on drawings to indicate the edges and details of an
object.

HIDDEN LINES - Thin dashed lines, called Hidden line are used on drawings
to indicate a surface, edge, or contour of an object that cannot be seen, or is
hidden from view. You may vary the lengths of the dashes slightly in
relation to the size of the drawing. As a general, rule, always begin and end
hidden lines with a dash, in contrast with the visible lines from which they
start, except when a dash would form continuation of a visible line. Omit
hidden lines when they are not required to assure the clarity of the drawing

CENTER LINES - Thin lines on the drawing, which are made up of

alternating long and short dashes, are called Center lines. They are used to
indicate the midpoint of symmetrical features, such as circles or arcs. They
are used as to aid dimension.

CUTTING PLANE OR VIEWING PLANE LINES - Very thick lines, called

Cutting Plane or Viewing Plane Lines, indicate where an imaginary cutting
plane passes through an object. These lines are used in a drawing for
viewing or sectioning purposes. Arrowheads on both ends of the line point
toward the surface to be viewed.

BREAK LINES - Break Lines are used to shorten a view or eliminate

repetitive details when an entire view is not necessary. Short break line
are thick wavy freehand lines. Long break line are thin straight zigzags.

PHANTOM LINES
