Section View

The document discusses section views in engineering drawings. Section views clarify drawings by reducing hidden lines and revealing internal shapes. A cutting plane imaginarily cuts through an object and the cutting plane line marks its edge. Section lines indicate surfaces cut by the plane using cross-hatch patterns that vary by material. Full sections cut completely through, while half and offset sections show partial cuts. Dimensioning follows typical rules, and half sections use single-headed dimensions pointing inside the cut.

UNIT 4

SECTIONAL VIEWS
PURPOSES OF SECTION VIEWS
Clarify the views by
 Reducing or eliminating the hidden lines.
 Revealing the cross sectional’s shape.

Let See the example


EXAMPLE : Advantage of using a section view.
TERMINOLOGY AND
COMMON PRACTICES
CUTTING PLANE
Cutting plane is a plane that imaginarily cuts
the object to reveal the internal features.

CUTTING PLANE LINE
Cutting plane line is an edge view of the cutting plane.

Indicate the path


of cutting plane.

SECTION LINING
Section lines or cross-hatch lines are used to indicate the
surfaces that are cut by the cutting plane.

Section lines
Drawn with thin lines.
SECTION LINES SYMBOLS

The section lines are different for each of material’s type.


For practical purpose, the cast iron symbol is used most often
for any materials.

Cast iron, Steel Concrete Sand Wood


Malleable iron
SECTION LINING
 45 degree angle lines should be used.
 1.5 mm to 3mm between lines.
 All lines should be uniformly spaced .
SECTION LINING – LINE PLACEMENT
 Lines should never be parallel or perpendicular to the object lines.
 If the outline of the object has 45 degree lines, 30 or 60 degree lines should be used.
SECTION LINING – LINE PLACEMENT
SECTION LINING PRACTICE
The spaces between lines may vary from 1.5 mm
for small sections to 3 mm for large sections.

COMMON MISTAKE
TREATMENT OF HIDDEN LINES
Hidden lines are normally omitted from section
views.
KINDS OF SECTIONS
KIND OF SECTIONS
1. Full section
2. Offset section
3. Half section
4. Broken-out section
5. Revolved section (aligned section)
6. Removed section (detailed section)
FULL SECTION VIEW
The view is made by passing the straight cutting plane completely
through the part.
OFFSET SECTION VIEW
The cutting plane is off-set to include
features that are not in a straight line.

It is possible for the cutting plane to change


directions, to minimise on the number of
sectional views required to capture the
necessary details.
OFFSET SECTION VIEW
The view is made by passing the bended cutting plane completely
through the part.

Do not show the edge views


of the cutting plane.
HALF SECTION VIEW
A half-section is a view of an object showing one-half of the view
in section.
Symmetrical parts can be shown in half sections.

Half section without hidden


lines
HALF SECTION VIEW
Half sections are commonly used to show both the internal and
outside view of symmetrical objects.
HALF SECTION VIEW
The view is made by passing the cutting plane halfway through an object
and remove a quarter of it.
HALF SECTION VIEW
A center line is used to separate the sectioned half from the unsectioned
half of the view.
Hidden line is omitted in unsection half of the view.
EXAMPLE : Comparison among several section techniques
DIMENSIONING
IN SECTION VIEW
In most cases, dimensioning of the section views
follows the typical rules of dimensioning.
