Sectioning and Sectional Views

The document explains the concept of sections and sectional views used to reveal internal details of components and assemblies through a cutting plane. It describes cutting plane lines, cross-hatching techniques, and the proper representation of these elements in technical drawings. Additionally, it outlines types of sections and specifies which parts should not be sectioned.

Sectioning and Sectional

Views
Sections & Sectional Views
• A section is used to show the detail of a component, or an
assembly, on a particular plane which is known as the
cutting plane.
• Sectional views are a means to communicate the internal
details of complex parts and assemblies.
Cutting Plane Lines

• Is an imaginary plane passing


through an object at the place
where a section is to be made
• Identified with reference letters
along with arrows to show the
direction in which the sectional
view is taken
• The beginning and end styles of
cutting plane lines are made bold
• This is also done at the portions
where the cutting plane is offset
Other Cutting Plane Lines
Cross-Hatching (Section
Lining)
• Section lining of a cut surface is
indicated by fine lines, which are
drawn as continuous lines usually
at an angle of 45º with uniform
distance (about 2 mm)
• For smaller or larger areas,
distance between lines can be
from 1 mm to 4 mm
• Section lining or cross-hatching
lines should not be parallel or
perpendicular to any main visible
line bounding the sectioned area
Types of Cross-
Hatching
• Cutting planes are indicated on the drawing by a long chain line 0.35 mm
thick and thickened at both ends to 0.7 mm. The cutting plane is lettered
and the arrows indicate the direction of viewing. The sectional view or plan
must then be stated to be A–A, or other letters appropriate to the cutting
plane
• hatching lines are equally spaced and drawn at an angle of
45° to the principal center line
Quick Start to Sectioning
Types of Sections
Only one half of the view is sectioned whiles the
other half is without section
Parts not sectioned

 Nuts, Bolts,
 Shaft along cutting plane
