ScalesScales
Scales are used for laying off distances and for making measurements.
Scales are made in various shapes.Flat.Triangular shape.

Some scales are “open-divided” with only the end units subdivided.

Scale Types Scale Types
Different types of scales are used to make different kinds of drawings.
Architect’s scale.Mechanical Engineers scale.Civil engineers scale (decimal scale).Metric Scale.

Scale Types Scale Types -- Architect Architect
Architect’s scale.Is used by architects primarily for producing drawings of buildings.Is graduated in fractions of an inch.Is divided into proportional feet and inches.
Typical architectural drawing scales:1/4” = 1’-0”1/8” = 1’-0”1-1/2” = 1’-0”3” = 1’-0”
10
The ArchitectThe Architect’’s Scales Scale
The triangle shape is used most commonly.It has many scales on a single stick.Some drafters prefer flat scales especially when they do not have to change scales often.
Refer to Figure 3-33.

Mechanical Engineer’s Scale.Has inches and fractions of an inch divided to represent inches.
DivisionsFull size - 1 inch divided into 32nds.Half size - 1/2 inch divided into 16ths.Quarter size - 1/4 inch divided into 8ths.Eighth size - 1/8 inch divided into 4ths.
13
Scale Types Scale Types -- Mechanical EngineersMechanical Engineers
Mechanical Engineer’s Scale.Is used for drawing parts of machines.Is used for applications where largerreductions in scale are not needed.
14
Scale Types Scale Types -- Civil EngineersCivil Engineers
Civil engineers scale (decimal scale).
1 inch can represent several quantitiesFeet.Rods.Miles.Etc.
15
The Civil EngineerThe Civil Engineer’’s Scales Scale
Divisions are inches divided into decimals.The usual divisions are:
10 parts to the inch.20 parts to the inch.30 parts to the inch.40 parts to the inch.50 parts to the inch.60 parts to the inch.
The inch may represent different quantities such as feet, rods, miles, and so forth.
16
The Civil EngineerThe Civil Engineer’’s Scales Scale
In addition, the divisions may be single unitsor multiples of 10, 100 or 1000.
Example: 20 parts to an inch scale may represent
202002,000 units.
The scale is used for Civil Engineering workMaps and drawings of roads.Site plans.
17
The Civil EngineerThe Civil Engineer’’s Scales Scale
The scale used should be given on the drawing.
Scale: 1” = 500 feet.Scale: 1” = 100 feet.Scale: 1” = 200 miles.Scale: 1” = 100 miles.
18
Proportional ScalesProportional Scales
Proportional scales are used in drawing buildings and in making mechanical, electrical and other engineering drawings.
The proportional scale to which the views are draw should be given on the drawing.
This usually is indicated in the title block if only one scale is used.
Common proportional scales:6” = 1’-0”3” = 1’-0”1-1/2” = 1’-0”
19
Scale Types Scale Types -- Metric Metric
The proportional metric scale can be used on all types of engineering drawings when metric units are used.
Remember, the metric system allows easy conversion from one unit to another.
MetersDecametersHectometersKilometers

The Metric ScaleThe Metric Scale
The Metric Scale is divided into millimeters.
Used for Architectural, Mechanical, Electrical drawings.

Dimension NotationDimension Notation
The symbol (’) is used for feet and (”) is used for inches.
Three feet four and one-half inches is written3’-4 1/2”.

Indicating Drawing ScaleIndicating Drawing Scale
The scale of a drawing is ALWAYS indicated on the drawing.
If different parts of the drawing have different scales, the scales are given near the views.
If multiple scales are used they should be clearly indicated on the drawing.

Using A ScaleUsing A Scale
A drawing is created “to scale” under the following conditions:
When the object being drawn is too largefor the drawing sheet.
When the object being drawn is too smallto be read easily.
26

When the object being drawn is too large for the drawing sheet.
Buildings.Property.Roads.Campuses.Airports.

When the object being drawn is too small to be read easily.
Computer chip drawings.Small mechanical parts.Biomedical devices.

FullFull--Size DrawingsSize Drawings
When the object being drawn will fit on the paper on which you are drawing it, draw it full-size or full-scale (1:1).\
ALWAYS try to draw full-scale FIRST !

If you cannot draw full-scale, choose the largest scale that will fit on the sheet.

Drawing With A ScaleDrawing With A Scale
31
Drawing With A ScaleDrawing With A Scale--Full Size Full Size
If you draw an object FULL-SIZE, just transfer the dimensions directly.
1. Measure the distance of the object.
2. Align the “0” with one end of the object.
3. Read the length on the scale.
4. Draw a line representing that distance.
32
Drawing With A ScaleDrawing With A Scale--Half SizeHalf Size
If you must draw the object HALF-SIZE and only had a FULL-SIZE scale, you would
1. Measure the distance of the object.
2. Align the “0” with one end of the object.
4. Convert the measured distance to half.
5. Draw the half distance on the paper.
33
Drawing With A ScaleDrawing With A Scale--Full SizeFull Size
Drawing Full-Size with the Full Size scale:Measure the actual distance.Draw the actual distance.
Very easy !
34
Drawing With A ScaleDrawing With A Scale--Full SizeFull Size
Drawing Half-Size with the Full Size scale:Measure the actual distance.Mentally divide the distance in half before drawing the distance on the sheet.
A real pain in the neck !
35
Measuring With A Scale Half SizeMeasuring With A Scale Half Size
A Better Idea - Use a Half-Size ScaleLet the scale “do the work for you.”Think full-size, all the time. The scale would automatically convert for you.
Same example: with the half-size scale:Measure the actual distance directly.Draw the distance with the half-size scale using the same dimension directly on the scale.
(no mental math required)
36
Think Think ““FULL SIZEFULL SIZE””
When using a scale, ALWAYS think FULL SIZELet the scale “do the work for you”.
The scale will automatically produce the proper reduction.
All you have to be concerned with is making accurate readings on the scale.

Measuring With A ScaleMeasuring With A Scale
To make a measurement with a scale:
1. Place the scale on the paper in the direction in which you are measuring.
2. Align the “0” with one end of the object.
3. Read the exact length from the graduations on the scale.
