Drawing Office Exercise 2: Half Sections & Dimensioning
Drawing is a practical subject and you will learn mainly by performing the exercises. It is expected that you will look carefully at the exercises before you come to the class such that you can identify in advance where you will need support in the class. These exercises contribute to the module assessment and you must hand in your work at the end of each Drawing Office even if you have not completed all the exercises. Work handed in late will not be marked without supporting extenuating circumstances documentation. Please ensure your name and DM1 workshop group is printed clearly on every sheet you submit. Marked work will be returned to you at your next Drawing Office.

Exercise 2 Marks Scheme Border (2), title block (2) and projection symbol (4) (out of 8) Marks lost for: features missing, projection symbol too large/small/scruffy/wrong Printing poor Drawing quality (out of 6) Good features include: Good line quality (not too wide or too thin, not smudged) Construction lines clearly more faint and narrow than outlines Orthogonal axes used and at approximately the right angles Curves neatly drawn Hatching lines appropriate weight, spacing and angle Poor features include: Line types cannot be distinguished Lines smudged (too soft a pencil) Curves poorly drawn Dotted lines (hidden detail) and centrelines included Hatching poor Accuracy of views (10 each, out of 20 total) 16 20 Completely correct or a few minor mistakes/omissions 11 - 15 A few parts wrong, mostly correct 6 10 Significant mistakes some parts correct 15 Displays little understanding, almost or all incorrect Dimensions (out of 10) Good features: Appropriately placed Leader lines correct Arrow heads appropriate Text correctly placed and oriented Appropriate number of dimensions (no duplicates or omissions) Thought given to how dimensions will be used in manufacture Dimension notes used appropriately Circular features appropriately dimensioned Section planes (out of 6) Marks for correctly indicating and titling both section planes in an approved manner.

Exercise 2: Detail drawing of a piston Component description In an internal combustion engine the pistons are joined to the cranskshaft by connecting rods. In the diagram, N is the connecting rod and M is the piston. The piston is secured to the connecting rod by a gudgeon pin that passes through both connecting rod and piston. The pin is a tight fit in the piston and is held in place with circlips fitted in grooves at the ends of the gudgeon pin holes (these circlip grooves are not included on the simplified piston of exercise 2). The seal between piston and cylinder is provided by 3 piston rings fitted in grooves machined at the top (crown) of the piston. An additional ring is often fitted to the bottom (skirt) of the piston to scrape oil from the cylinder bore (this ring is not included on the How Stuff Works illustration).

Task Use an A3 sheet of plain paper and add a border, projection symbol and title block. Put your name, DM1 group, student ID no., date, drawing title, drawing units and drawing scale in the title block. Sketch (to scale, using a ruler for straight edges and compasses for circles) using 3rd angle projection, two full-size orthographic views of the piston illustrated below. These should be two half-sectional elevations. The drawing should be fully dimensioned such that the component could be manufactured, but there should be no redundant dimensions. The section planes should be indicated appropriately.

In the drawing office there will be pistons similar to the one you are drawing for you to look at if necessary. Please ask one of the tutors. Bear in mind that the drawing you submit should be as indicated here, as the pistons available in class are not exactly the same. If you want to add a plan view in order to indicate your section planes feel free to do so.
