Drawing Flashcards
What is the primary purpose of engineering drawings?
To communicate information between engineers.
Engineering drawings must be used in accordance with accepted rules for accuracy.
What must be produced before engineering components can be manufactured, modified, repaired, or assembled?
A drawing needs to be produced.
The drawing must convey clear and unambiguous instructions.
What standards govern the format of engineering drawings?
British Standards Institution (BSI) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
These standards ensure consistent presentation of information.
What type of information do engineering drawings typically contain?
Dimensions, materials, assembly methods, surface finishes, etc.
This information is crucial for the production and assembly processes.
List three key benefits of engineering drawings.
- Convey information between different people
- Share information with customers and other companies
- Standardized for consistent interpretation
These benefits facilitate effective communication across various contexts.
True or False: Engineering drawings are not standardized and can be interpreted differently by various organizations.
False.
Standardization ensures that drawings are interpreted the same way regardless of organization or language.
Fill in the blank: Engineering drawings are a means of communication between _______.
[engineers].
