Synopsis

Engineering drawings form the basis of an industry-wide and international language of graphical information between the designer and all those involved in the design and production process. This can only be achieved if the drawings involved conform to the relevant standards. Covering all the aspects of engineering drawing which students and professionals need to know, this text shows how the various recommendations should be interpreted in actual drawings and describes how a correct representation can be achieved. This book covers isometric, orthographic and oblique projections as well as electrical and hydraullic diagrams, welding and adhesives. It gives guidance on tolerancing, it refers to 150 international engineering standards, and employs an integrated approach to CAD througout.

About this title

From the Back Cover

The Manual of Engineering Drawing has long been recognised as the student and practising engineer's guide to producing engineering drawings that comply with ISO and British Standards.

This new edition has been brought fully in line with the requirements of the new British Standard BS8888: 2002. As this standard is derived from ISO standards, this book is also ideal for an international readership. Equally applicable to any CAD application or manual drawing, the new edition will help engineers, lecturers and students with the transition to the new standards.

Written by a member of the ISO committee and a former college lecturer, Manual of Engineering Drawing combines up-to-the-minute technical accuracy with clear, readable explanations and numerous diagrams. This approach makes this an ideal student text for vocational courses in engineering drawing and undergraduates studying engineering design / product design.

The comprehensive scope of the new edition encompasses topics such as orthographic and pictorial projections, dimensional, geometrical and surface texture tolerancing, along with numerous examples of electrical and hydraulic diagrams with symbols, and applications of cams, bearings, gears, welding and adhesives.
