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
9
Fractional Dimensioning
Always reduce a fraction to its lowest terms If numerator is even number-it can be reduced Begin your count from a major graduation close to the reading

Decimal Scales Subdivided into units of 1/10, 1/20, 1/50, or 1/100 in.
1/50 is sufficient for most applications With 50 increments to an inch each increment =.02 in. Reading between increments-capable of determining closest .01 inch measurement
22
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

32
Decimal Dimensioning Drawing may be dimensioned using two- or three-place decimals Amount of tolerance is determined by number of decimal places
33
Decimal Dimensioning .50 may have tolerance of ± .01
34
Decimal Dimensioning Converting fractions to decimals-results in too many decimal places Need to round off those numbers to desired places
35
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
36
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
37
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
38
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
39
Decimal Dimensioning Rule #3 and #4 are different
Established to even numbers as often as possible Even numbers are preferred Decimal numbers divided by two-e.g.-diameter/2 = radius-----results will contain same number of decimal places

44
Metric Dimensioning Metric increment of measure is millimeter
Will be noted if different Dual dimensioning system-SI Metric-used in U.S. and Canada Convert a metric dimension to inches by multiplying it by
45
Metric Dimensioning Conversion charts are available to provide converted dimensions Metric scales are available and can be used-eliminating need for conversion
46
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

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
63
Title Blocks Mechanical drawings may be reduced to Half size
Quarter size One eighth size
64
Title Blocks Mechanical drawings may be enlarged Double Four times
Ten times
65
Title Blocks Half scale---1/2, 1:2, or ½”=1”
Twice scale-2/1, 2:1, 2-1, 2”=1” or 2X Arrangement of numerals indicates relationship

Title Blocks Refer to scale as the “Do Scale”
“D” stands for the drawing “O” stands for the object Sale of 1:2 means The drawing is 1 inch Object is 2 inches A “Do Scale” of 2:1 means The drawing is 2 inches The object is one inch or one half the drawing size

Allowance Minimum clearance between mating parts
Maximum interference between mating parts Calculate by subtracting MMC of shaft from MMC of hole
192
Allowance When shaft’s MMC is smaller than hole’s MMC-positive allowance-clearance When shaft’s MMC is larger than hole’s MMC-negative allowance-interference
193
Allowance Positive or negative-allowance is always the tightest possible fit between mating parts
194
Allowance Use the formula for calculating allowance:
MMC Hole - MMC Shaft = Allowance
195
Allowance MMC Hole =.999 -MMC Shaft A =.998 Allowance =.001 (positive)
