Dimensioning Lecture 13 Autumn Quarter
Dimensioning • Goals • Understand the principles of good dimensioning practice • Apply the standard dimensioning practices for engineering drawings • Reference • TG Chapter 6 – Dimensions and Tolerances Autumn Quarter
Geometrics • The science of specifying and tolerancing shapes and locations of features of on objects Autumn Quarter
Geometrics • It is important that all persons reading a drawing interpret it exactly the same way. • Parts are dimensioned based on two criteria: • Basic size and locations of the features • Details of construction for manufacturing • Standards from ANSI (American National Standards Institute) Autumn Quarter
Scaling vs. Dimensioning • Drawings can be a different scales, but dimensions are ALWAYS at full scale. Autumn Quarter
Units of Measure Angle Dimensions • Length • English - Inches, unless otherwise stated • Up to 72 inches – feet and inches over • SI – millimeter, mm • Angle • degrees, minutes, seconds Autumn Quarter
Dimensioning Terminology Autumn Quarter
Dimensioning Standards (.25 in) (.375 in) Autumn Quarter
Dimensioning Basic Shapes -Assumptions • Perpendicularity • Assume lines that appear perpendicular to be 90° unless otherwise noted • Symmetry • If a part appears symmetrical – it is(unless it is dimensioned otherwise) • Holes in the center of a cylindrical object are automatically located Autumn Quarter
Dimensioning Basic Shapes • Rectangular Prism Autumn Quarter
Cylinders Positive Negative Dimensioning Basic Shapes Autumn Quarter
Dimensioning Basic Shapes • Cone Frustum Autumn Quarter
Dimensioning Basic Shapes • Circle Pattern Center Lines Autumn Quarter
Dimensioning Shows: Size Location & Orientation Autumn Quarter
Example Problem • What dimensions (size & location) are needed? • Where should they be placed? Think Individually, then share with the person next to you. - Compare with the other pair at your table Autumn Quarter
Yes No Grouping Dimensions • Dimensions should always be placed outside the part Autumn Quarter
Put the lesser dimensions closer to the part. Try to reference dimensions from one surface This will depend on the part and how the tolerances are based. Staggering Dimensions Autumn Quarter
Extension Line Practices Autumn Quarter
Repetitive Features Use the Symbol ‘x’ to Dimension Repetitive Features Autumn Quarter
Symbols for Drilling Operations Autumn Quarter
Example Problem • What dimensions (size & location) are needed? • Where should they be placed? Think Individually, then share with the person next to you. - Compare with the other pair at your table Autumn Quarter
Assignments • Dwg 25 – G23 • Fully dimension the objects shown using correct dimensioning practices.(part is fully dimensioned if it is possible to machine it from the dimensions provided) • Use Inch Dimensions to the second place (x.xx) • Dwg 26 – DIM-2a • Fully dimension the objects shown using correct dimensioning practices. • Use one-place metric dimensions (x.x) • More Dimensioning next week Autumn Quarter
