IED Unit 7 Flashcards
A system of dimensioning which requires all numerals, figures, and notes to be aligned with the dimension lines so that they may be read from the bottom (for horizontal dimensions) and from the right side (for vertical dimensions).
Aligned Dimension
The tightest possible fit between two mating parts.
Allowance
A private, non-profit organization that coordinates the development and use of a voluntary consensus standards in the United States.
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
A professional engineering organization that is known for setting codes and standards for mechanical devices in the United States.
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
The understanding of the consumer group for which the design is targeted. This would include the audiences, demographics, physical location, amount of time available to view the design, and interest in the subject matter.
Audience Analysis
A view that is used to show features that are located on an inclined surface in true size and shape.
Auxiliary View
System of dimensioning in which all dimensions are placed from a datum and not from feature to feature. Also referred to as Datum Dimensioning.
Baseline Dimensioning
A circle with a single number connected to an assembly component with a leader line to refer to parts.
Balloon
A tolerance in which variation is permitted in both directions from the specified dimension.
Bilateral Tolerance
A hole that does not go completely through the workpiece.
Blind Hole
A section of an object broken away to reveal an interior feature for a sectional drawing.
Broken-Out Section
Also known as point-to-point dimensioning where dimensions are established from one point to the next.
Chain Dimensioning
Limits the size of mating parts so that a clearance always results when mating parts are assembled.
Clearance Fit
A cylindrical recess around a hole, usually to receive a bolt head or nut.
Counterbore
A conical-shaped recess around a hole, often used to receive a tapered screw.
Countersink
A line drawn on a view where a cut was made in order to define the location of the imaginary section plane.
Cutting Plane Line
A theoretically exact point, axis, or plane derived from the true geometric counterpart of a specific datum feature. The origin from which the location, or geometric characteristic of a part feature, is established.
Datum
A dimensioning system where each dimension originates from a common surface, plane, or axis. Also known as baseline dimensioning.
Datum Dimensioning
A tool used to compare design solutions against one another, using specific criteria.
Decision Matrix
A dimensioned, working drawing of a single part. Also referred to as part drawing.
Detail Drawing
A view that is used to show a magnified view of features that are too small to adequately specify in another view.
