    Components of an Engineering Drawing


    Every engineering drawing is different depending on its usability. But, owing to huge industries such as O
    use of detailed drawings due to complex equipment and processes.

    A detailed engineering drawing consists of all the essential components of the object or part relevant fro
    understanding point.

    The essential components of an engineering drawing are:

    Orthogonal views

    There are different views (front, side, top) in an engineering drawing. In a detailed drawing, one can exp
    accurately describes the component.

    Dimensions

    Dimensions are numerical values expressed in measurement units and are crucial in defining the size, lo
    features of an object or part.

    Scale

    If we were to painstakingly draw the plan, elevation, and side views of an entire oil refinery, we would ne
    of pages, which is practically impossible. Therefore, we use a scale used to represent an entire part or o
    object’s linear dimensions represented in a drawing to its actual dimensions.

    Projection

    A pictorial representation of a design can’t always show the details of complex shapes and structures th
    manufacturing the part. A typical projection method represents a 3D object in an easier way to be unde
    manufacturer.

    Drawing Standards

    There are specific conventions for uniformity in conveying detailed technical information related to a pa
    These conventions are known as drawing standards. As per the facts, the most widely accepted set of en
    the United States is mentioned in the American National Standards Engineering Drawing and Related Do
    Y14/ANSI Y14).

    Name/ Title of the drawing

    In every drawing, there is a fixed place for name, title and drawing number. The name or title is based o
    part is usually referred to. The drawing number is unique and is used for identification purposes.

    Drawing sheet sizes & references

    The drawing sheet’s size varies depending on the type of product to be designed. The usually accepted d
    A3 and A4. For your understanding, An A0 sheet has 1m² of drawing area available.

    Next is the drawing sheet reference; many detailed designs require multiple sheets to define their conte
    auxiliary views, sections, extensive title blocks and notes may require more space than is available on a
    sheets are needed, and all should have specific reference to each other.

    A multiple sheet drawing can be represented as SHEET 1 of 4, SHEET 2 of 4, SHEET 3 of 3, SHEET 4 of 4.

    Name of the Company or organization

    The organization’s name is crucial from a legal and identification point of view. The name of the compan
    title block.

    The above specifications are required to form a detailed engineering drawing. There are other compone
    segment. But, for a fundamental understanding of engineering drawing, these are the essential items. Y
    Piping engineering course for detailed knowledge on the minute details.

    If you’re someone looking out for job-oriented courses after graduation, you first need to strengthen yo
    fundamentals. If you’re from civil, mechanical or aeronautical, engineering drawings are the basics you n
    upskilling daily.
