Detail Drawing
Components of weldments are shown in detail by prints that are called detail or working
prints. A detail print contains all the information needed to make a part, including the views
required for a complete description and the dimensions that are needed for its construction,
and may include the directions (indicated by notes and symbols) for the operations required.

It is preferred practice to prepare a detail print for every member of an assembly. However, if
the parts are small and similar operations are involved, they are sometimes grouped on one
print, Figure 9.1. When a part is a unit within itself, only one print is usually required to
describe it.

When a unit consists of several parts, and they are to be shown on one print, each part
must be identified. One method of identification commonly used gives each part a name and
a circled letter or number. A similar letter or number is given to the part on the assembly
print so that the detail can be identified readily with the part shown on the assembly.

Detail prints may include only that information that applies to welding operations, or they
may include the information needed for all the operations required to make the part.

In the detail print, Figure 9.1, note the complete dimensioning and how each part is
identified.
