 Scale of Drawing

The scale to which a drawing is made is

classified as:
1.Full Scale ---- 1:1
2.Reduced Scale ---- 1:2, 1:3, 1:5
3.Enlarged Scale ---- 2:1, 3:1,5:1
 Part no. Codification
For part no. codification we use eight digit
numbering system:

PART

PRODUCT

 Part no. Codification
e.g. A010 -1000
A denotes customer MUL
01 denotes model 800cc car
0 denotes drive type RHD
e.g. A010-1000
1 denotes product type RPS
0 denotes subassembly to which it belongs
00 denotes assy / subassy / comp no.

 Definitions
Maximum material condition:The condition in
which a feature of size contains the maximum
amount of material within the stated limits of size

Least material condition:The condition in

which a feature of size contains the least
amount of material within the stated limits of
size
 Definitions
Basic dimension:A numerical value used to
describe the theoretically exact size or datum
target.It is the basis from which permissible
variations are established by tolerances on other
dimensions,in notes,or in feature control frames.

Reference dimension:A dimension,usually

without tolerance,used for information purpose
only.
