Engineering Graphics, Class 9 Sectional Views Mechanical Engineering Department Sectional Views By means of a limited number of carefully selected views, the external features of most designs can be fully described. However, We are frequently encountered with the necessity of showing interiors of parts that can not be shown clearly by means of hidden lines. The interior of complex parts may be shown by imagining that the part is sliced by one or more cutting plane. A cutaway view is then drawn. It is called a sectional view, a cross section, or simply a section. Sectional views To obtain a sectional view, a cutting plane is assumed to be passed through the part (a). This cuts the part into two halves The cutting plane is then removed, and the two halves are drawn apart, exposing the interior construction. In (b), the direction of sight is towards the left half. The section view will be in the position of a right side view. Full sections The sectional view obtained by passing the cutting plane fully through the object is called a full section. Compared to the left-side view, the sectional view gives a clearer description of the object’s details, and the left- side view would naturally be omitted. In the front view, the cutting plane appears as a line, called the cutting-plane line. The arrows at the end of the cutting-plane line indicate the direction of sight for the sectional view. Full sections Note that in order to obtain a sectional view, the right half is only imagined to be removed, and not actually shown removed anywhere except in the sectional view itself. The section-lined areas in the
