Engineering Drawing I Year B.Tech By NN..SSRRIINNIIVVAASSAA RREEDDDDYY..,, M.Tech. Sr. Assistant Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering Vardhaman College of Engineering SCALES Unit-I Representative Fraction - The Ratio of length of the drawing to the actual length of the object represented is called Representative Fraction (R.F). - R.F. is less than unity is drawn on reduced scale, if greater than unity enlarging scale, if equal to one full scale. Scales on Drawing Sheet i) Representative fraction of the scale. ii) The units in which it must present i.e. (mm, cm, dm, inch, feet). iii) The maximum length which it must show (original length). Types of Scales: 1) Plane Scale - It consists of a line divided into suitable no. of equal parts or units. The 1st of which is subdivided into smaller parts. - Plane scale represent either two unit (or) a unit and its subdivision. Procedure - The zero should be placed at the end of 1st main division between the unit and its subdivision. - From the zero mark units should be numbered to the right and subdivision to the left. - The names of the units and the subdivisions should be stated clearly below or at the respective ends. - The name of the scale i.e. 1:10 or its representative fraction should be mentioned below the scale. Problem-1 Construct a scale of 1:4 to show cm and long enough to measure upto 5dm and show distance of 3.7 dm on scale. Procedure 1. Determine R.F of the scale, here it is 1/4. 2. Determine length of the scale = R.F × max.length = 1/4 × 5dm = 12.5 cm 3. Draw a line of 12.5 cm long and divided it into 5 equal division each representing 1 dm. 4. Mark O at the end of 1st division and 1, 2, 3 4 at the end of the each of each subsequent divisio
