2 0 3 3.5
INTRODUCTION: Introduction to machine drawing. Importance of sectional views. Computer-aided drafting. (5) CONVENTIONS: Code of practice for engineering drawing-conventional representation of details- drilled and tapped holes, countersunk and counter bored holes, internal and external threads, undercuts, grooves, chamfers, fillet radii and keyways. Conventions to represent standard components-bolts, nuts, washers, screws, cotters, pins, circlips, bearings, gears, springs and flanges. (5) ASSEMBLY CONCEPTS: Methods and concepts of assemblies-assembly requirements, Bill of materials. Methods of assembly-bolts, nuts, studs, screws and pins. Methods of arresting motion of a member in an assembly. (5) FITS AND TOLERANCES: Limits, fits and tolerances-need, types, representation of tolerances on drawing, calculation of minimum and maximum clearances and allowances. Geometric tolerance-uses, types of form and position tolerances, symbols, method of indicating geometric tolerances on part drawings. Surface finish symbols- methods of indicating the surface roughness. (15) ASSEMBLY DRAWING PRACTICE: Making free hand sketches of typical subassemblies-flange coupling, stuffing box, journal bearings, rolling element bearings, keyed joints, cotter joints, C clamp. (10) ASSEMBLY USING SOLID MODELING: Modeling and assembly using software-extracting views and sections. Drawing of assemblies-plummer block, machine vice, stop valve, screw jack, tail stock, cylindrical gear box, simple drill jig. (16) Total 56 TEXT BOOKS: 1.
