INTERSECTION OF SOLIDS

Intersection is when two solids interpenetrate and thereby

produce a line of intersection. The line of intersection will
show the exact shape of the meeting surfaces.
APPLICATIONS OF SOLID INTERSECTION
Ducts, pipe joints, smoke stacks, boilers, containers, machine
castings etc., involve intersection of surfaces. Sheetmetal
work required for the fabrication of the above objects
necessitate the preparation of the development of the joints
objects. Orthographic drawings of lines and curves of
intersection of surfaces must be prepared first for the
accurate development of objects
Varieties of shapes that can intersect each other , are
categorized in groups
1. Prisms
2. Cylindrical pipe
3. Pyramid
4. Conical cylinders
INTERSECTION OF CYLINDERS
A horizontal cylinder of diameter 40 mm penetrates into a
vertical cylinder of diameter 60 mm. The axes of the
cylinders intersect at right angles.
1. Draw the plan and elevation in full scale
2. Draw intersection curve.
