Ok, after a day solid doing this sort of stuff my head is spinning...

Topic is:

"Using and Interpreting Engineering Drawings & Documents"

Question is:

"What is the meaning of the different symbols and abbreviations found on the drawings that you use"

Keynote:

"With reference to surface finish, electronic components, weld symbols, linear and geometric tolerances, pressure and flow characteristics"


Anyone actually work with drawings give me a text book answer of around 6 lines?

Please?

I've tried answering it and my answer is half a page of confusedness

 

What is it you want to know though? from that question its kind of asking for a breakdown on the types of symbols and what they mean individually and what they represent as a group.

But tbh mate if you want it on 6 lines your not going to be able to get anywhere near to describing all of the symbols used on engineering drawings.

If I were you i'd take the subjects out of the keynote...say electrical...get a few main electrical symbols, describe what they mean individually and then write a line about the other types of symbols within the group (electrical)...say for example' other types of symbols in this group can show polarity, No of Phases, phase angles, resistance etc...'

Try this site....looks to have everyhting you need under one roof...in the design/drawing section (middle of page)http://www.roymech.co.uk/

Hope this helps mate....what course you doing?

 

with regards to the engineering stuff i'd say its to ensure that the manufactured part is produced to the individual customer/companys personal specification
