    MDT 110-1 Dimensioning Review

    Uploaded by

    cbales99
    This document provides an overview and guidelines for dimensioning engineering drawings according to ASME standards. It discusses dimensioning to describe both the shape and size of parts to be manufactured. Dimensioning is done in two steps: dimensioning individual geometric shapes for size and then dimensioning location based on mating parts and functional requirements. The document reviews techniques like dimensioning contours, curves, holes, and rules for efficient and clear dimensioning. It also covers dimension symbols and units in decimal-inch and metric systems.

    MECHANICAL DETAILING
    Dimensioning Review

    Dimensioning Review
    Engineering Drawing & Design, Chapter 8.
    Produce detail drawings from notes, sketches, and pictorial
    drawings conforming to current ASME standards;
    Dimension detail drawings based on part function and
    mating relationships conforming to current ASME
    standards;
    Understand the concept of detail dimensioning based on
    part function and mating relationships.
    Understand fundamentals of computer-aided drafting and
    utilize those skills in conjunction with mechanical drafting
    techniques;
    Prepare detail drawings following industrial and
    departmental standards.

    Dimensioning Review
    An engineering drawing is a complete set of
    instructions for the manufacture of a part.

    The instructions includes


    1. Drawing views (principal, auxiliary, and
    section views)
    2. Dimensions & tolerances
    3. Notes

    Dimensioning Review
    Engineering drawings have two objectives:
    1. Describe the shape of the part to be
    manufactured.
    2. Describe the size of the part (and its features)
    to be manufactured.

    Dimensioning accomplishes size description.

    Dimensioning Review
    Dimensioning is done in two steps:
    STEP 1) Dimension the SIZES of individual geometric
    shapes.
    STEP 2) Dimension the LOCATION of the shapes with
    respect to mating surfaces and functional
    requirements.

    Geometric Breakdown

    Mating Part Dimensions


    Mating Part Dimensioning: Dimensions are
    assigned based on the features of the mating
    parts in the assembly.
    Result:

    Less dimensioning
    mistakes

    Less time
    dimensioning

    Functional
    dimensions

    Functional
    tolerances

    Better
    assembly

    Cheaper
    parts

    Mating Part Dimensions

    Contour Dimensioning
    Dimension features in their profile
    (contour) view.

    Efficient and Clear Dimensioning


    Eliminate redundant dimensions.
    Features shall only be dimensioned once in a
    drawing.
    The same feature in different views is still only one
    feature.

    Eliminate superfluous dimensions.


    Features must not be dimensioned in two
    different ways.

    Dimensioning Curves & Holes


    Dimension cylinders with the diameter
    symbol in their rectangular view.
    Dimension holes with the diameter symbol in
    their circular view.
    Dimension curves with a radius in their
    circular view.

    Dimensioning Rules & Guidelines


    Do not dimension to hidden surfaces or features.

    Dimension features where they are shown true


    shape.
    Do not cross dimension and extension lines.
    Dimensions shall not specify the manufacturing
    method to be used.
    Make use of symmetry if functional.

    Dimension Symbols
    Use standard dimensioning symbols [8-2, 8-3]
    Counterbore Countersink
    holes
    holes

    Spotface
    holes

    Tapped
    holes

    Repetitive
    features

    Dimensioning Holes

    Line 1: Hole dia and hole depth (if blind hole)

    Line 2: Sface, cbore, csink symbol and dia,


    cbore depth or csink angle
    *Use standard symbols

    Dimensioning Units
    Follow standard unit specifications for
    dimensions [8-1]:
    Decimal-inch System: whole numbers show a
    minimum of two trailing zeros; numbers less
    than one have no leading zeros.

    SI Metric System: whole numbers from 1 to 9


    are shown without trailing zeros; numbers
    less than one are shown with a leading zero.

    Dimensioning Units
    Decimal-Inch
    Dimensions
    No leading zeros
    .500 not 0.500

    Trailing zeros
    10.00 not 10

    Metric
    Dimensions
    Leading zeros
    0.5 not .5

    No trailing zeros
    10 not 10.0
