DRAWING TEMPLATE DETAILS:

Designer should use drafting template authorised and provided by D & D
HOD. Following is the template to be used by the designer for all type of
drawings he/she create during project.
1) Title:
• Title should include all the required details enlisted below:
Product Series, Size, Pressure rating, Material, Part or Assembly
name, Process name.
e.g. Body of DN300 aluminium butterfly valve to be machined, title
would be --- A01, DN300, PN04, AL, BODY, MACHINING
• Title description mentioned in drawing template and BOM should
be same.
• Text style to be used for title should be ISO txt.

2) Drawing Number:
• Drawing number is the logical representation of Title description.
• Drawing numbers are generated by using logic sheets developed for
individual product.
• Logic sheets developed for different products are available at
common group folder.
• Drawings created during each stage of design e.g., General
arrangement drawing, Assembly drawing, Part drawings, shall be
numbered accordingly.
e.g. Body of DN300 aluminium butterfly valve to be machined,
drawing number would, A01300BBY16-M
• Drawing number mentioned in drawing template and BOM should
be same.
• Text style to be used for title should be ISO txt.

3) Revision Number & Revision Block:

• When drawing is first issued, it is called as revision zero drawing
and the revision block is empty.
• As each revision is made to the drawing, an entry is placed in the
revision block.
• This entry will provide the revision number, a summary of the
revision, the date of the revision, and approver name. ASME Y
14.35M states the method for revision of engineering drawing.
• Text style to be used in revision should be ISO txt.

4) View Projection:
• On engineering drawings, the projection angle is denoted by an
international symbol consisting of a truncated cone. The symbols
define whether a projection is either first angle or third Angle.
• All the drawings should be created by using third angle projection.
Third-angle projection is primarily used in the United States and
Canada, where it is the default projection system according to
ASME standard ASME Y14.3M.

5) Part List:
• Part list is a tabular list of an item used to make an assembly.
• Part list includes Part number, Part name, Material and quantity.
• General arrangement drawing must include the part list.

6) Product Details:
• GA Drawing to be submitted to customer must include all the
details listed ahead: Part list, Testing details, Pressure-
temperature rating, Material, Operation details, Automation
Details, Actuator duty, End connection details, Design standard,
Testing Standard, Statutory and regulatory Requirements,
Marking details if any required, Surface Roughness if required.

7) Tolerancing:
• Engineering drawing must include tolerancing for controlling the
features of part for easier assembly and better performance of
product.
• There are two tolerancing systems, coordinate tolerancing and
GD & T. For GD & T tolerancing refer ASME Y 14.5M. Apart from
tolerances mentioned on drawing, tolerance table is provided on
drawing for rest of dimensions.
• This tolerance table is different on Casting, Machining and
fabrication drawing templates.

8) Notes:
• Common notes specify default chamfer and radius values,
information for plating or heat-treating, specific
manufacturing operations, and many other pieces of
information.

DRAFTING GUIDELEINES:
For drawings to be neat and legible PVH D&D established some
guidelines that draftsmen should read and execute during work.
1. Use line weights to clearly show what is most important and what is
secondary. A quick view at a sheet should show what it is mainly
about in the drawing. The acceptable line weights (in mm) that can
be used in a drawing are as follows:
0.18 | 0.25 | 0.35 | 0.5 | 0.7 | 1.0 | 1.4 | 2.0
Different line types and their weight is as follow.

• Object Line.…. Thick weight Line (0.7mm)

• Hidden Line…. Medium Weight Line (0.5mm)
• Section Line…. Thin Weight Line (0.3mm)
• Centre Line…... Thin Weight Line (0.3mm)
• Dimension Line…... Thin Weight Line (0.3mm)
• Extension Line…... Thin Weight Line (0.3mm)
• Leader Line…... Thin Weight Line (0.3mm)
• Cutting Plane Line.…. Thick weight Line (1mm)
• Break Lines.…. Thick weight Line (0.3mm)
• Phantom Lines…... Thin Weight Line (0.3mm)
• Border Line…... Thick weight Line (1mm)

2. Keep the text sizes and text styles consistent. Don’t change the size
of text just to make it fit easier. Rearrange the drawing as necessary
to have all text consistent.

3. Drafting template CAD file incorporates different layers. Layer

define colour, line type and line weight. Different layers can be
generated for better visual performance of drawing. For more
complex assemblies layer command can be used to improve the
quality of visualisation. Layers could be used in many ways; two
 PARTH VALVES AND HOSES LLP

mating parts form complex assembly can be visualised

independently by hiding rest of the parts by using layer command.
Following are the layers defined by PVH D&D that should be
followed for drafting.

Outline: Object lines used for plotting outline of parts

Outlines -- O1, O2, O3, O4, O5
Section Line: Layer S1, S2
Hidden Line: Layer HL
Dimension Line: Layer DL
Text: Layer TE

4. Depending on the type of part drawing (casting, machining,

fabricated) or manufacturing process used, symbols should be
shown on drawings.
Following are the standards that should be followed for symbology.
• ISO 2553 Symbolic representation on drawings -- Welded
joints
• ISO 2162 Technical product documentation -- Springs
• ISO 6410 Technical drawings -- Screw threads and threaded
parts
• ASME Y14.5M -- Geometric Dimensioning and tolerancing
• ISO 1302----Surface Roughness

5. The most important element to good placement of dimension is

consistent spacing. This translates to easy readability and fewer
mistakes. Some other dimension placement techniques are:
• Provide a minimum of 10 mm from the object outline to the
first-dimension line
• Provide a minimum of 6 mm between dimension lines
• Place shorter dimensions inside longer dimensions
• Avoid crossing dimension lines with extension lines or other
dimension lines
• Dimension where the true size contour of the object is shown
• Place dimensions that apply to two views between the views.
