20GE102 ENGINEERING GRAPHICS
Objective
OBJECTIVES:
• To develop in students, graphic skills for
communication of concepts, ideas and design
of Engineering products
• To expose them to existing national standards
related to technical drawings.
WHAT IS DRAWING ?
A picture/drawing is worth a
thousand words..
DRAWING
Describing any object / information
diagrammatically is called drawing
Difference between drawing and
Engineering drawing
Engineering drawing
• Engineering drawing – A drawing of an object
that contains all information
like
• actual shape
• accurate size
• Dimensions, etc.,
Universal language
• Drawings prepared in one country may be
utilised in any other country irrespective of the
language spoken.
• Hence, engineering graphics is called the
universal language of engineers
Engineering Drawing
Manual Drawing CAD Software
If basic fundamentals are clear, better use can be made of
the power of the software.
To be an expert in technical drawing, this first course on
Engineering (manual) Drawing is the first step.
Why we go for manual drawing?
Role of engineering graphics
• The ability to read drawing is the most important
requirement of all technical people in any profession as
compared to verbal or written description
• The subject in general is designed to impart the
following skills.
1. Ability to read and prepare engineering drawings.
2. Ability to make free - hand sketching of objects.
3. Power to imagine, analyse and communicate, and
4. Capacity to understand other subjects.
Applications of engineering
drawing
• Building drawing for civil engineers
• Machine drawing for mechanical engineers
• Circuit diagrams for electrical and electronics
engineers
Civil construction
Machine components
Circuit diagrams
• How to start drawing ?
• What are all the instruments required to
drawing?
• What are all the specifications of instruments?
• How to letter and dimension the drawing?
Engineering graphics basics
Instruments for Drawing
The following drawing instruments are required for preparing a neat and
correct drawing.
(a) Basic Instruments.
• Drawing board
• Drawing sheet
• Drawing pencil
• Drawing clips or pins
• Eraser
• Eraser shield
(b) Instruments for Drawing Straight Lines.
• T- square.
• Set- squares
c) Instruments for Drawing Curved Lines.
• Large size compass
• Small bow compass
• French curve
(d) Instruments for Measuring Distance.
• Large size divider
• Small bow divider
• Scales
(e) Instruments for Measuring Angles.
• Protractors
• Set-squares
(f) Special Tool.
• Mini drafter
Basics instruments
Drawing board
• A drawing board with its working surface
upward as shown in fig.1
• The top surface of the board is perfectly
smooth and level.
• Fig. 2 shows the bottom of the drawing board.
A drawing board is rectangular in shape and is
made of well seasoned soft wood such as oak
or pine
Drawing board
Sizes of drawing board
Last two sizes are normally used for student drawing
Drawing sheet
The drawing is frequently made in pencil on the
drawing sheet. The best drawing sheet has the
following qualities:
• Light cream buff in colour to have good
appearance
• Fine grains to pick up the graphite and produce
clean, dense black lines
• Superior erasing qualities
• Folding strength
• Toughness
• Smooth surface
Sizes of drawing sheet
Pencils to be used
• Pencils with leads of different degrees of hardness or grades
are available in the market.
• The hardness or softness of the lead is indicated by 3H, 2H, H,
HB, B, 2B, 3B, etc.
• Wooden pencils – are graded and designated by numbers and
letters
• Mechanical clutch pencils – Not allowed
• 7B, 6B, 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B - in decreasing order of softness
and blackness
• HB to F – Medium grade
• H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 7H, 8H, 9H – increasing order of
hardness.
Grades and designations of
pencil
Drawings are done using 2H pencils and finished with H and HB pencils – to be
practiced in this course.
Drawing clips or pins
Eraser and Eraser shield
Instruments for drawing
straight lines
T- square
• It is composed of a long strip called blade,
which is screwed rigidly at right angle to a
shorter piece called head or stock.
• It is made of mahogany or pear wood, which
is harder than the board wood.
• T- Square is used for making horizontal,
vertical, inclined or parallel lines on the
drawing sheet.
T- square
Set square
French curve
Instruments required for
measuring
• Dividers are used to divide straight or curved
lines into desired number of equal parts
Large Size Divider.
• The dividers has two legs hinged at the upper
end and is provided with steel pins at both the
lower ends, but it does not have the knee joints
Small Bow Divider.
Large Size Divider.
scales
• Scales are made of wood, steel, celluloid or
plastic
• Stainless steel scales are more durable
• Scale may be flat or of triangular cross-
section.
• 15 cm long and 2 cm wide or 30 cm long or 3
cm wide flat scales are commonly used
Engineering graphics basics
Protractor
• Protractors or Pro-circles are used for drawing
any desired angle.
• These are made of hard transparent plastic.
• The edges are either squared or beveled
Mini-Draughter
How to fix the mini draughter
Procedure to use mini draughter
• Set the protractor head with reference mark indexing zero
degree.
• A T-square, protractor and set squares can be replaced by a
drawing drafter. With this, lines can be drawn at any desired
angle.
• A mini drafter is made with several links. The scale is attached
at the working end of the links. The scale unit can be rotated
and set at any desired angle.
• The clamp end is fixed to the upper or lower edge of the
drawing board.
• There is no need to have a working edge on a drawing board
when a mini drafter is used.
• Place the drawing sheet underneath the scales of the mini-
drafter,
• Mini drafter saves considerable time.
Lettering
Lettering:
• Writing of titles, dimensions, notes and other important particulars on a drawing is
called lettering
• Lettering is the most important part of a drawing. Sometimes accurate and neat
drawing is spoiled by poor lettering. Therefore lettering should be done properly in
clear, legible and uniform style
• It should be in plain and simple style so that it could be done freehand and speedily.
• There are several ways in which lettering can be done. These include both hand
lettering and mechanical lettering
• Hand lettering practice is universal and always of value
Sizes of the letter
• Lettering should be in CAPITAL letters (upper cases)
• Lower cases used only for abbreviations like, mm , cm
etc..,
• Size of Letters is measured by the height h of the
CAPITAL letters as well as numerals.
• Standard heights for CAPITAL letters and numerals
recommended by BIS are given below :
• 1.8, 2.5, 3.5, 5, 6, 10, 14 and 20 mm
• Note: Size of the letters may be selected based upon the
size of drawing.
Examples
Dimensioning:
• An engineering drawing should contain the
details regarding the sizes, besides giving the
shape of an object.
• Dimension is a numerical value expressed in
appropriate units of measurement and marked
on a drawing with lines, symbols and notes.
• The dimensions without any unit is considered
in mm

• Fourth angle projection
• In engineering drawing we are preferring only the
first angle projection.
