DEPARTMENT OF STANDARDS MALAYSIA
DEVELOPMENT OF MALAYSIAN STANDARDS

The Department of Standards Malaysia (STANDARDS MALAYSIA) is the national

standards and accreditation body of Malaysia.

The main function of STANDARDS MALAYSIA is to foster and promote standards,

standardisation and accreditation as a means of advancing the national economy,
promoting industrial efficiency and development, benefiting the health and safety of
the public, protecting the consumers, facilitating domestic and international trade and
furthering international cooperation in relation to standards and standardisation.

Malaysian Standards (MS) are developed through consensus by committees which

comprise balanced representation of producers, users, consumers and others with
relevant interests, as may be appropriate to the subject at hand. To the greatest
extent possible, Malaysian Standards are aligned to or are adoption of international
standards. Approval of a standard as a Malaysian Standard is governed by the
Standards of Malaysia Act 1996 [Act 549]. Malaysian Standards are reviewed
periodically. The use of Malaysian Standards is voluntary except in so far as they are
made mandatory by regulatory authorities by means of regulations, local by-laws or
any other similar ways.

STANDARDS MALAYSIA has appointed SIRIM Berhad as the agent to develop,

distribute and sell the Malaysian Standards.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

The adoption of the ISO Standard as a Malaysian Standard was recommended by the
Technical Committee on Technical Drawings under the authority of the Industry Standards
Committee on Mechanical Engineering.

This Malaysian Standard is identical with ISO 128-44:2001, Technical drawings - General
principles of presentation - Part 44: Sections on mechanical engineering drawings, published
by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). However, for the purposes of this
Malaysian Standard, the following apply:

a) in the source text, "this International Standard" should read "this Malaysian Standard";

b) the comma which is used as a decimal sign (if any), to read as a point; and

c) reference to International Standards should be replaced by corresponding Malaysian

Standards as follows:

Compliance with a Malaysian Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal
obligations.

NOTE. IDT on the front cover indicates an identical standard i.e. a standard where the technical content, structure,
and wording (or is an identical translation) of a Malaysian Standard is exactly the same as in an International
Standard or is identical in technical content and structure although it may contain the minimal editorial changes
specified in clause 4.2 of ISO/IEC Guide 21-1.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.

Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 128 may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

International Standard ISO 128-44 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 10, Technical product
documentation, Subcommittee SC 1, Basic conventions.

This first edition of ISO 128-44 is based on ISO 128:1982, subclause 4.4 to 4.9 of which it cancels and replaces.

ISO 128 consists of the following parts, under the general title Technical drawings General principles of
presentation:

Part 20: Basic convention for lines

Part 21: Preparation of lines by CAD systems

Part 22: Basic conventions and applications for leader lines and reference lines

Part 44:
Sections on mechanical engineering drawings

1 Scope
This part of ISO 128 specifies general principles for presenting sections on mechanical engineering drawings
following the orthographic projection methods specified in ISO 5456-2. For areas on sections, representation is
according to ISO 128-50[1].

Attention has also been given to the requirements of reproduction, including microcopying in accordance with
ISO 6428.

NOTE The basic rules for cuts and sections are given in ISO 128-40[2].

2 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
this part of ISO 128. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications
do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this part of ISO 128 are encouraged to investigate the
possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated
references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC maintain
registers of currently valid International Standards.

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this part of ISO 128, the terms and definitions given in ISO 10209-1 and ISO 10209-2 apply.

ISO 2001 All rights reserved 1

ISO 128-44:2001(E)

4 General
In principle, ribs, fasteners, shafts, spokes of wheels and the like are not cut in longitudinal sections, and should
therefore not be represented as sections.

Like views, sections may be shown in a position other than that indicated by the arrows for the direction of their
viewing.

5 Cutting planes
A section in one plane is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.

Figure 1 Section in one plane

2 ISO 2001 All rights reserved

 ISO 128-44:2001(E)

Figure 2 Section in one plane

A section in two parallel planes is shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3 Section in two parallel planes

ISO 2001 All rights reserved 3

ISO 128-44:2001(E)

A section in three contiguous planes is shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4 Section in three contiguous planes

A section in two intersecting planes, one revolved into the plane of projection, is shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5 Section in two intersecting planes

4 ISO 2001 All rights reserved

 ISO 128-44:2001(E)

In the case of parts of a revolution containing regularly spaced details required to be shown in sections but not
situated in the cutting plane, these details may be depicted rotated into the cutting plane, provided that no
ambiguity can arise (see Figure 6). No additional identification is needed.

Figure 6 Section of part of revolution with regularly spaced details not in, but rotated into, the cutting
plane

When it is sometimes necessary to position the cutting plane partly outside the object, it is not, however, necessary
to show the long-dashed dotted narrow line of type 04.1 specified in ISO 128-24:1999 (see Figure 7).

ISO 128-44:2001(E)

6 Removed sections
When sections are removed from a view, they shall be placed near that view and connected to it by the long-
dashed dotted narrow line of type 04.1 specified in ISO 128-24:1999 (see Figure 8).

Figure 8 Section removed from a view

7 Other sections

For sections revolved in the relevant view, as well as for sections of symmetrical parts and local sections: according
to ISO 128-40.

8 Arrangement of successive sections

Successive sections may be arranged in a manner similar to the examples shown in Figures 9 to 11, in as much as
it is suitable for the layout and understanding of the drawing.

Unless they contribute to the clarification of the drawing, outlines and edges behind the cutting plane may be
omitted.
