Section 10: Basic and common symbols recognition

PURPOSE

This section aims to enable the student to extend their knowledge of Drawing
Interpretation from Engineering Drawings produced to AS1100 standard.

Objectives

At the end of this section you should be able to:

o Interpret information on detail drawings of engineering components.

Completion guidance

Students should attempt this section if the material relates to the engineering discipline
they are employed or intend to be employed in.

 Basic and Common Symbols.

Recognition.

The symbols covered in on the following pages are an example of the widespread use of
symbols and abbreviations in industry. The symbols and abbreviations covered in this module
relate to a few trades and professions. In some areas there are so many symbols and
abbreviations that only someone who is heavily involved would know them all. If you do not
know what a symbol means, do not guess, because in some industries it could lead to a
serious injury or death if a wrong interpretation or decision is made. If you do not know what a 1126.50 I
symbol means, make sure you ask someone who definitely knows, not someone who does not Feature
like to admit that they do not know. You do not want the guess of someone else, you want identification
someone who definitely knows or someone who has the latest publication containing the
symbols. A

 Structural Steel Profiles and Welding Symbols

The purpose of this page is to introduce you to some other symbols and abbreviations that
are quite common on engineering drawings. Structural steel profiles are not drawn in most
cases, nor are welds drawn or sketched as shown on the next page.

These are only a few of the total number of symbol and abbreviations available in each area,
and are produced here to make you aware of what area of engineering the symbols and
abbreviations belong to.

 Interpretation/Sample assessment questions What feature of a component is indicated by the following symbols?

Completion guidance: select and attempt suitable questions.

In a title block there is a little box with letters SHT (sheet number). What would be the
advantage of printing '3 of 7' instead of just 3 in the box?
What is achieved by the notation 'ALL DIMENSIONS IN MILLIMETRES' in the title block?

Why are the tolerances applied to dimensions instead of making every component to the
design size?
In a title block there is a little box with the heading 'size' in it. If 'A3' is printed in this box,
what information is being given?

The drawing you are looking at has A2 in the size box. The drawing you are looking at is

not an A2 size sheet. How could this have happened?

The 'scale' box has the notation 1:2 in it. What information is being indicated here?

What purpose is achieved by having numbers equally spaced along the top and bottom
edge of a drawing sheet and letters on each end of the sheet?
The 'scale' box has the notation 5:1 in it. What information is being indicated here?

What is the preferred projection angle for engineering drawings?

A linear tolerance is printed as ± O.5mm UNO. What do the letters UNO stand for?

Sketch the symbol for third angle projection.

What purpose is achieved by using different line thicknesses as well as broken lines on the
drawing?
