Module 5– Unit 2 Standard Drawing Conventions
Learning Outcome
By the end of this unit each apprentice will be able to:
Identify the following major areas of an engineering drawing:
o Title block
o Co-ordinate grid system
o Revision block
o Notes and legends
o Engineering drawing (graphic portion)
Explain the reasons for using scales, symbols and abbreviations on
engineering drawings
Describe why drawings must be produced to an international standards
2
Module 5– Unit 2 Standard Drawing Conventions
A generic engineering drawing can be divided into the following five major
areas or parts
Title block
Co-ordinate grid system
Revision block
Notes and legends
Engineering drawing (graphic portion)
The first four parts listed above provide important information about the
actual drawing. The ability to understand the information contained in these
areas is as important as being able to read the drawing itself. Failure to
understand these areas can result in improper use or the misinterpretation of
the drawing. The information contained in the fifth part or the drawing itself
is covered in unit 1.

Module 5– Unit 2 Standard Drawing Conventions
The second area of the title block contains the signatures and approval dates,
which provide information as to when and by whom the component/system
was designed and when and by whom the drawing was drafted and verified for
final approval. This information can be invaluable in locating further data on
the system/component design or operation. These names can also help in the
resolution of a discrepancy between the drawing and another source of
information.

Also listed in the notes section is any information the designer or draftsman
felt was necessary to correctly use or understand the drawing. Because of the
importance of understanding all of the symbols and conventions used on a
drawing, the notes and legend section must be reviewed before reading a
drawing.

1:100 Read as 1 unit (on the drawing) equals 100 units (on the actual
component or system). This is reducing scale. For example, if a length
of pipe measures 10mm on the drawing the actual length of pipe
measures 1 meter. This type of scale would be used for building
layouts and bigger scales such as 1:250 and 1:500 would be used for site
layouts.
