Radial Line Development Flashcards
What step differentiates conical layout from radial line development?
Radial line development adds the use of a plan view
Conical layout and radial line development both utilize a vertical apex and elevation view.
What does the plan view in radial line help to develop?
Frustums of cones, Cone intersections and point locations
What is used to measure the stretch out for a cone?
Pee wee tape
Pee wee tape is a specialized measuring tool used in various applications, including measuring the stretch out for cones.
What is the formula for calculating a mitre in the field?
M = Offset x Width / Length
What is slipping a pattern commonly used for?
Transitional elbows and offsets
Slipping a pattern refers to the method of adjusting or modifying the layout of fittings in piping systems.
What are the two fittings associated with slipping a pattern?
Transitional elbows and offsets
These fittings help in directing fluid flow and accommodating changes in direction.
When constructing an oblique three-way Y branch, are both plan and elevation views necessary?
True
What lines are used to develop the views of an oblique cone?
Element lines
Element lines help in visualizing the shape and orientation of the cone in various views.
What lines are used to develop the pattern of an oblique cone?
True length lines
True length lines are essential for accurately representing the dimensions and shape of the cone when creating a pattern.
What must be developed on the elevation view prior to creating a whole pattern stretch out?
The developed mitre
The term ‘developed mitre’ refers to the necessary preparation or layout of angles and edges in design before proceeding with further pattern work.
What view is developed from the sectional curves?
The hole mitre plan view
What is the minimum number of points needed to develop sectional curves?
3 points
Sectional curves can be found in what fitting?
A 45° fitting
What is the formula for Vertical Apex?
VA = VH x LD / (LD - SD)
Where VA is Vertical Apex, VH is vertical height, LD is large diameter, and SD is small diameter.
What does VA stand for in the formula for Vertical Apex?
Vertical Apex
What does VH represent in the formula for Vertical Apex?
Vertical height
