STUDY GUIDE  Exam  #2

 

Dimensioning

  • What is the purpose of dimensioning?  Dimensions allow you to __ the product.

  • What are the two types of dimensions?  Dimensions of __ & __.

  • Where are dimensions placed?  __ views and __ the views.

  • What spacing for dimensions is conventional?  Dimension lines __ from the object, __ gap between the extension lines & feature, __ overhang past arrowhead.

  • Know the rules of dimensioning, i.e. Holes dimensioned by their __ and arc by their __, and do you dimension hidden line features?

  • Are dimension lines thick or thin, light or black?

  • What other lines can extension lines cross?

  • What lines should extension lines not cross?

  • Know the difference between aligned and unidirectional systems.

  • Know the difference between general practice and structural practice of dimensioning.

  • What is a datum?

  • Know the difference between cumulative and coordinate dimensioning.
     

Tolerance

  • Know the difference between allowances and tolerances.

  • Know the meaning of normal and basic size.

  • Know the three classes of fit.

  • Which class of fit requires selective assembly?

  • Interchangeable assembly is used for __ & __ fits.

  • In the case of the basic hole system, the basic size is assigned as the __ hole.

  • In the case of the basic shaft system, the basic size is assigned to the __ shaft.

  • Know how to use the tables in the appendix to calculate tolerances, i.e. RC1 .

  • Know the differences between positive and negative allowances.

  • Know how to determine minimum and maximum allowances.

 

Section Views

  • Know the purpose for creating a section view.
  • What is the major distinguishing feature of a section view.
  • Is crosshatching (section lining) thin & black or thick & black?
  • What is the usual place ( pitch) between the crosshatched lines?
  • Is crosshatching always at 45 degrees?
  • Which items are usually not crosshatched?
  • How is the cutting plane line drawn and what is its purpose?
  • What do the arrowheads on the end of a cutting plane indicate?
  • Are section views drawn exactly as though the object were cut apart?
  • An object that appears as though it was cut in half is called a __ section.
  • Are hidden lines usually drawn in section views? If not why not?
  • An object that appears as though 1/4 was removed is what type of section?
  • An object with the section cut all the way across the object, but in an irregular route to reveal more features is called a __ section.
  • What type of object is best to draw as a half section?  When its shape is __.
  • What is the typical purpose of revolved sections?
  • How much is the axis rotated for a revolved section?  __ degrees.
  • What is the difference between revolved and removed sections? 

 

Shop Processes

  • Which is stronger, a casting or a forging?  What is the difference?
  • Know the difference between counter bores, counter sinks, spot faces, taps, dies, drilling, reaming.
  • Which is smoother, a drilled hole or a reamed hole?  Why?
  • Study the glossary of terms in appendix  A-7 if you are using the Lamit text.

Threads & Fasteners

  • Know the terms including major diameter, minor diameter, thread angle, root, crest, lead, pitch.
  • Which thread form is common for most bolts in the US.?
  • Know the difference among blots, cap screws, machine screws, set screws, and studs.
  • Understand and recognize a schematic representation of a thread.
  • Understand the meaning of a thread notation, such as 1/4-20 UNC 2A
  • Know which is the major diameter, threads per inch, the thread form, the series, the class of fit, and weather the thread is male or female.
  • Understand the purpose for multiple lead screws and right or left hand threads.
