Mechanical Drawings – An Aid for Mechanical Industry

http://www.designpresentation.co.uk Mechanical Drawings can be understood as the detailed information about any machine as well as heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) etc. These are the drawings made before the beginning of construction to assist engineers, contractors and owners. The most important significance of this is that it brings down the possibility of error to negligible at the time of actual construction.

This aid of mechanical industry provides information not only in the form of lines and text but also it facilitates simulation to test the working of product in real world conditions. Earlier these tests used to be conducted by creating prototypes of the product. But, this was expensive and time consuming. Now, when Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) has made it possible to simulate the design only then why to create prototypes?

Mechanical Drafting provides many sets of drawings like Tender, Sketch, Schematic, Detailed Design, Installation, Record or As Installed, and Builder's work Drawings etc. All these types of drawings cater to different needs of the mechanical industry.

Tender drawing is a sample design, primarily which is used to submit with tenders. Sketch drawing is used to provide basic details of the component, but no detailed information is provided. Schematic is used to provide information of interconnection between various components of the system. Detailed one is used to show comprehensive information of the locations of plant items and service routes.

Installation drawing provide detailed information to the tradesmen about installation of the work, Record or As Installed provides and keeps records of the components of the system at the time of installation, and Builder's work keeps the details of final installation like building structure, fabric, and external works as well as it also keeps the information about the schedule and cost-estimated of the plant.

While conducting Mechanical Drafting detailed information is provided about Size, type, and layout of Ducting, Diffusers, return air grilles, dampers, heat registers, ductwork insulation, Turning vanes, HVAC unit, Thermostats, Ventilation, Electrical, water, and gas connections, Exhaust fans, specific key notes, Symbol legend, general notes, Heating and cooling load summary, Demolition of a part or whole system, Connections to existing system, Thermostat programming, Smoke detector and fire-stat re-Ducting, and Heat loss and gain calculations etc.

This way it can be said that these drawings are tailored to provide full assistance to the engineers or contractors who are involved in the construction of a product or system. Thus, Mechanical Drawing is a complete aid for the mechanical industry.
