Dimensioning Systems • Four different systems of dimensioning used in U.S. • Fractional inch • Decimal inch • Dual dimensioning • SI Metric
Fractional type steel rules divided into units of: • 1/16 • 1/32 • 1/64 • Major graduation accentuated by longer lines • Some have small numbers printed adjacent to lines
Scale Reading Quiz 1 • 3/4 Record the scale length identified by 1
Scale Reading Quiz 1 • 1 5/8 Record the scale length identified by 2
Scale Reading Quiz 1 • 2 7/16 Record the scale length identified by 3
Scale Reading Quiz 1 • 3 3/16 Record the scale length identified by 4
Scale Reading Quiz 1 • 3 15/16 Record the scale length identified by 5
Decimal Scales • Subdivided into units of 1/10, 1/20, 1/50, or 1/100 in. • 1/50 is sufficient for most applications
Decimal Scales • Closer measurements require using micrometer, vernier or dial calipers • Major graduations are accented by longer lines-usually every 1/10 in. • Popular scales graduation style has .04 and .06 increments slightly longer than .02 and .08 • Reads faster, more recognizable

Decimal Dimensioning • Drawing may be dimensioned using two- or three-place decimals • Amount of tolerance is determined by number of decimal places
Decimal Dimensioning • .50 may have tolerance of ± .01 • .500 may have tolerance of ± .001 • .5000 may have tolerance of ±.0001
Decimal Dimensioning • Converting fractions to decimals-results in too many decimal places • Need to round off those numbers to desired places
Decimal Dimensioning • Rule #1-When the figure following the last digit to be retained is greater than 5---increase the last number by one • .016 becomes .02 • .047 becomes .05 • .078 becomes .08
Decimal Dimensioning • Rule #2-When the figure following the last digit to be retained is less than 5---retain the last number • .031 becomes .03 • .062 becomes .06 • .093 becomes .09
Decimal Dimensioning • Rule #3-When the figure following the last digit to be retained is exactly 5 and the figure to be retained is odd---increase the last number by one • .375 becomes .38 • .875 becomes .88
Decimal Dimensioning • Rule #4-When the figure following the last digit to be retained is exactly 5 and the figure to be retained is even---retain the last number • .125 becomes .12 • .625 becomes .62
Decimal Rounding Quiz • .109 = • .125 = • .156 = • .234 = • .438 = • .547 = • .562 = .11 .12 .16 .23 .44 .55 .56
Decimal Rounding Quiz • .641 = • .797 = • .875 = • 1.056 = • 1.672 = • 2.205 = • 2.454 = .64 .80 .88 1.06 1.67 2.20 2.45
Decimal Rounding Quiz • 3.335 = • 3.767 = • 5.555 = • 6.665 = • 7.045 = • 8.885 = 3.34 3.77 5.56 6.66 7.04 8.88
Metric Dimensioning • Metric increment of measure is millimeter • Will be noted if different • Convert a metric dimension to inches by multiplying it by .03937
Metric Dimensioning • Conversion charts are available to provide converted dimensions • Metric scales are available and can be used-eliminating need for conversion
Metric Dimensioning • Metric scales • Have graduations every millimeter of half-millimeter • Designated “mm” or “1/2 mm” • Every fifth millimeter is accentuated by a longer line • Every tenth millimeter is identified by a number
Scale Reading Quiz 3 • 20 mm Record the scale length identified by 1
Scale Reading Quiz 3 Record the scale length identified by 2 • 35 mm
Scale Reading Quiz 3 Record the scale length identified by 3 • 51 mm
Scale Reading Quiz 3 Record the scale length identified by 4 • 77.5 mm
Scale Reading Quiz 3 Record the scale length identified by 5 • 93.5 mm
Blueprints • Blueprinting-Term can be interpreted as • Drawing • Picture • Contains information • Required sizes • Tolerances • Essential requirements • Notes and instructions
Engineering Drawings • Original drawing made by drafter or engineer • Prints are referred to as engineering drawings • Also referred to as blueprints (more common term)
Engineering Drawings • Standardized drawings • “A” size is 8 ½ x 11 inches • “B” size is 11 x 17 inches • “C” size is 17 x 22 inches • “D” size is 22 x 34 inches • “E” size is 34 x 44 inches
Title Blocks • Each drawing contains a Title Block • Drawing number is most prominent lettering in title block • Lettered larger to stand out • Scale determines the size of the object drafted
Title Blocks • Mechanical drawings may be reduced to • Half size • Quarter size • One eighth size
