Blueprint Reading

Course Code: IC

Text Box: Length:  Two Days 
Max. Attendees:  20
Prerequisites:  None
The Blueprint Reading course is intended for the individuals who are involved in the production, development, testing, or purchasing of parts for direct use in the manufacture of products (personnel in Operations/Production and Technical/Administrative). If you have these responsibilities, then this course will help you interpret engineering prints of all types. You will also learn how to identify the requirements for the fabrication or inspection of manufactured products.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

*     Describe the purpose of drawing standards and identify the companies that dictate them.

*     Define what an engineering print is and describe its purpose.

*     Identify and describe line conventions.

*     Identify the purpose and meaning of commonly used symbols and abbreviations found on engineering prints.

*     Define orthographic projection.

*     Describe how various surfaces and edges are projected.

*     Explain how cylindrical objects are represented on engineering prints.

*     List the fundamental rules of dimensioning and describe datum line dimensioning.

*     Define "fit" and "allowance" and identify the types of fits used in determining tolerances.

*     Identify the types of holes indicated on engineering prints and describe the features of each.

*     Describe how chamfers and repetitive features or dimensions are specified on engineering prints.

*     Recognize and understand the ANSI thread identification convention.

*     Define "surface texture" and explain under which conditions control is required or not required.

*     Identify the surface texture symbols shown on engineering prints.

*     Interpret and use relevant product drawings to manufacture conforming products.
