Lesson 6 Sectional View

Sectional views show internal features of an object that are otherwise hidden. They are created using an imaginary cutting plane that sections through the object. This reveals the cut surface, called the section, as well as any remaining visible parts of the object. Section lines or hatching are used to indicate the cut material. Common types of section views include full sections, half sections, and revolved sections. Sectional views make the internal geometry and features easier to understand compared to regular multi-view projections.

Sectional Views

• Sectional Views
– Why sectional views are needed
 Invisible features of an object are shown by means of
hidden lines in their projected views.
 But when such lines are too many, these lines make the
views more complicated and difficult to interprete.
In such a case it is customary to imagine the object as being
cut through by plane

The part of the object


between a plane &
observer is assumed
to be removed
Important terms
Cutting plane or section plane
The imaginary plane by which the object is
assumed to be cut through. It is assumed to be
parallel to the plane on which the view is
projected
CUTTING PLANE
Cutting plane is a plane that imaginarily cuts
the object to reveal the internal features.

Section lines
Section : The surface produced by cutting an object
by the section plane is called section

Sectional view : The projection of the section along


with the remaining part of the object is called
sectional view

Cutting plane line : The position of the cutting plane is


indicated by these line. The direction of viewing the
section is shown by arrows resting on the cutting
plane line & designated by capital letter. e.g. A-A
CUTTING PLANE LINE
Cutting plane line is an edge view of the cutting
plane.
Indicate the path
of cutting plane.

CUTTING PLANE LINE

• The sight arrows at the


end of the cutting plane
are always perpendicular
to the cutting plane.

• The direction of the arrow


indicates the line of sight.
The section is indicated by hatching or section lines

The section lines should be drawn evenly spaced inclined


at 45 0 to the axis or to the main outline of the section. It
can be drawn at 30 0 or 60 0

Section lines should be drawn with 2H or 3H pencil


SECTION LINING
Section lines or cross-hatch lines are used to
indicate the surfaces that are cut by the cutting
plane.

Section Lines
• Section lines (crosshatching) are used to show
where the cutting plane passed through solid
material
SECTION LINES SYMBOLS
The section lines are different for each of
material’s type.
For practical purpose, the cast iron symbol is
used most often for any materials.

Malleable iron
SECTION LINING PRACTICE
The spaces between lines may vary from 1.5 mm
for small sections to 3 mm for large sections.

Types of Section Views
• Full sections
• Half sections
• Revolved sections
• Removed sections
• Offset sections
Full Section View
• In a full section view, when the object is
assumed to be cut through entirely and the
front half removed.
• Note that hidden lines become visible in a
section view Hidden Lines
are Visible
FULL SECTION VIEW
The view is made by passing the straight cutting
plane completely through the part.
Multiple Sectioned Views

Individual Exercise
● Sketch a full section of the object shown below
Individual Exercise
● Were you correct ?
HALF SECTION VIEW
It may be assumed to be cut by two cutting planes at right angle
to each other and containing two center lines of the object.
The one quarter of the object between two plane is then removed
showing only a half section.
HALF SECTION VIEW
A center line is used to separate the sectioned half
from the unsectioned half of the view.
Hidden line is omitted in unsection half of the view.
