Scales
Drawing scale is a relationship of the size or distance of the item on a drawing to the real item.
For example a scale of ¼” = 1’ means a measurement of ¼ inch (the quote symbol “ is a shorthand for inches) on the drawing equals 1 foot ( the apostrophe symbol ‘ is shorthand for feet) of the real world item.

Single Line Drawings
The single line format represents all electrical lines, plumbing, air lines, hydraulic lines and piping, regardless of size, as single line.
System equipment is connected to the lines are represented by simple standard symbols.
By simplifying connections and equipment as single lines allow the system's equipment and instrumentation relationships to be clearly understood by the reader.
These types of drawings are also called Schematics.

Civil drawings are used to represent construction on the earth or ground areas.
Civil drawings are sometimes called:– site plans– plot plans – survey plans.
They will show contours of the earth, building locations, construction features, utilities, etc.

topographic maps and are used to identify physical features which uses contour lines to join points of equal elevation (height) and thus show valleys and hills, and the steepness of slopes. The elevation or height is a number drawn along the line.

Electrical
Electrical drawings are also single line drawings or schematics that uses symbols for various electrical equipment.
They are usually drawn in a style called a ladder diagram.
Another form of drawing is a wiring diagram which illustrates the wiring in a orthographic or pictorial style.

Example Ladder
Ladder schematics or diagrams are drawn with the circuit between two vertical lines, usually the power that supplies the circuit, thus each line creates a “rung” to the ladder.

be referenced as “Single Line” diagrams Controlled, such as relays, devices are drawn on
the right side. Contacts, switches and other controlling devices
are shown between controlled device and left vertical line
Overloads and other circuit breaking devices may be connected to the right of the controlled device.

Valve symbol structure
The function of a valve is given by a pair of numerals separated by a stroke, e.g. 3/2..
The first numeral indicates the number of main ports. These are inlets, outlets and exhausts but excludes signal ports and external pilot feeds.
The second numeral indicates the number of states the valve can achieve.

Pictorial or double line drawings present the same type information as a single line, but the equipment is represented as if it had been photographed.
This format is rarely used since it requires much more effort to produce than a single line drawing and does not present any more information as to how the system functions.

P&ID’s
The piping of a single system may contain more than a single medium.
For example, although the main process flow line may carry water, the associated auxiliary piping may carry compressed air, inert gas, or hydraulic fluid.
Also, a fluid system diagram may also depict instrument signals and electrical wires as well as piping.
The following slide shows some commonly used symbols for indicating the medium carried by the piping and for differentiating between piping, instrumentation signals, and electrical wires.

Balloon Labeling
A control valve may serve any number of functions within a fluid system. To differentiate between valve uses, a balloon labeling system is used to identify the function of a control valve.
The first letter used in the valve designator indicates the parameter to be controlled by the valve.
For example:– F = flow– T = temperature– L = level– P = pressure– H = hand (manually operated valve

The symbols used to represent instruments and their loops can be divided
into four categories.

Topographical Maps
Maps which describe in detail local features of the earth’s surface, either natural or man-made, are called topographic maps (or drawings).
Data taken from surveys are used to build these drawings.
Surveying is the actual measurement of distances, elevations, and directions on the earth’s surface.

Contours
Most topographical maps are drawn as contours. Contours are lines drawn on a map to show
points of equal elevation; that is, all points on a single contour line have the same elevation.
A contour interval is the vertical distance between horizontal planes passing through successive contours as illustrated in the following slide..

Contours Continued
Contours may be plotted through the use of patterns of distribution of points of recorded elevation.
A popular pattern is the checkerboard or grid survey as illustrated in the next slide.
Line are established at right angles to each other, dividing the survey into squares of appropriate size and elevations are determined at the corners of the squares

Geology and Mining Terms Strike - The bearing of a horizontal line in a plane, customarily
measured from north. Dip - Includes both an angle and a direction between planes Stratum or Seam - layer or deposit bounded by parallel bedding
planes. Vein - A deposit in a fissure or fault. Fault - A displacement of one segment with respect to another
formation. Thickness - perpendicular distance between the two bedding
planes of a stratum, seam, or vein. Outcrop - If a sloping stratum continues without faults, it
eventually outcrops (becomes exposed) at the earth’s surface. – See following slide for examples

Site or Layout Drawings
Layout drawings are also called general plans and profile drawings. T
They provide the necessary information on the location, alignment, and elevation of the structure and its principal parts in relation to the ground at the site.
They also provide other important details, such as the nature of the underlying soil or the location of adjacent structures and roads.

Beams
A beam is identified by its nominal depth, in inches and weight per foot of length.
The cross section of an American Standard beam (I) forms the letter I. These I-beams, like wide-flange beams, are identified by

Members
The main parts of a structure are the load-bearing structural members that support and transfer the loads on the structure while remaining in equilibrium with each other.
The places where members are connected to other members are called joints.
The total load supported by the structural members at a particular instant is equal to the total dead load plus the total live load.

Vertical Members Columns are high-strength vertical structural members; in
buildings they may be called pillars. A pier in building construction may be called a short column. It
could rest on a footing or it may be simply set or driven in the ground. In bridge construction a pier is a vertical member that provides intermediate support for the bridge superstructure.
The vertical structural members in light-frame construction are called studs. They are supported on horizontal members called sills or sole plates, and are topped by horizontal members called top plates or stud caps.
Corner posts are enlarged studs located at the building corners.

Horizontal Members
A horizontal load-bearing structural member that spans a space and is supported at both ends is called a beam.
A member that is fixed at one end is called a cantilever. One type of steel member is actually a light truss and is
called an open-web steel joist or a bar-steel joist.

Tolerances Obtaining Absolute accuracy is impossible and therefore
variations must be allowed. This allowance is known as tolerance and represents the total
amount the dimension may vary. It is stated on a drawing as (plus or minus) a certain amount,
either by a fraction or decimal. Limits are the maximum and/or minimum values for a specific
dimension. Tolerances may be shown on drawings by several different
methods; the following slide shows three examples. – The unilateral method is used when variation from the design
size is permissible in one direction only. – The bilateral method a dimension figure shows the plus or
minus variation that is acceptable. – In the limit dimensioning method the maximum and minimum
measurements are both stated

A welding symbol consists of seven basic elements
1. Reference Line
2. Arrow – connects reference line to joint
3. Weld symbol – this indicates a fillet weld
½ 2
4. Dimensions = weld is 2 inches long with leg length of ½ inch
5. Supplementary symbols – this illustrates a convex weld
6. Finish symbol – g = grinding, c = chipped, m = machined.

7. Tail – will have information about the
process. OAW is a type of welding here. It is left off
