CHAPTER ONE
1.FUNDAMENTALS OF MACHINE DRAWING

What is drawing and machine drawing?

Drawing is graphical language used to

express idea. in other word its one means of

communication.

Machine is an equipment with several

moving parts which uses power to do

particular type of work.


1. 1.Standards
Standard :- is the system of communication for world market.
There exists standards and practices for creating technical drawings
of mechanical parts and assemblies.
ASME responsible for mechanical drawing standards
 Sheet Formats
Line Types
Dimensioning Rules and Schemes
For example paper size
1.2.Drawing paper sizes
The British Standard BS8888 recommends that for normal practical
purposes the area of the largest sheet is one square metre and the
sides are in the ratio of 1:√2. The dimensions of the sheet are 841 mm
×1189mm.
Designation Size (mm) Area
A0 841 1 m2
×1189
A1 5000cm2
594 ×841
A2 2500 cm2
420 ×594
A3 1250 cm2
297 ×420
A4 625 cm2
210 ×297
A5
149 ×210
A6
105 ×149
1.3.Scale
Scale is the ratio of the linear dimension of an element of an object
as represented in the drawing, to the real linear dimension of the same
element of the object itself.
Wherever possible, it is desirable to make full size drawings, so as
to represent true shapes and sizes.
 If this is not practicable, the largest possible scale should be used.
While drawing very small objects
Designation of scale
The complete designation of a scale should consist of the word
Scale, followed by the indication of its ratio as:
Scale 1 : 1 For Full Size,
Scale × : 1 For Enlarged Scales,
Scale 1 : × For Reduced Scales.
The designation of the scale used on the drawing should be shown in
the title block.
Category Recommended Scales
Enlarged scales 50:1 20:1 15:1 2:1
Full size 1:1
Reduced scales 1:2 1:5 1:10
1.4.Lettering
Lettering plays a major role in over all appearance of drawing and
increase the readability of drawing.
Letter should be executed in one stroke as much as possible.
Types of strokes are:- Straight,slanted,horizontal And Curved

Each letter is made of this strokes for example for straight :-


ALHFT
For lower case letter the text’s body height is about 2/3 of the height
of the capital letter.
The space between the letter depends on the contour of the letters at
an adjacent side.
Space between the letter , space between the word , height of the
letter , style , thickness of the stroke and area between the letters all
1.5.Title Block
The title block should lie within the drawing space such that, the
location of it, containing the identification of the drawing, is at the
bottom right hand corner.
The direction of viewing of the title block should correspond in
general with that of the drawing. The title block can have a
maximum length of 170 mm.
Typical title block, provide the following information:
i. Title of the drawing
ii. Sheet number
iii. Scale
iv. Symbol, denoting the method of projection
v. Name of the firm
vi. Initials of staff drawn, checked and approved.
Border and frames
Borders enclosed by the edges of the trimmed sheet and the frame,
limiting the drawing space, should be provided with all sheet sizes.
It is recommended that these borders have a minimum width of 20
mm for the sizes A0 and A1 and a minimum width of 10 mm for the
sizes A2, A3 and A4
1.6.Types of line
Example of lines
1.7.Parts List / Bill of Material
The parts list is an itemized list of the parts that make up the
assembled machine.
