Classification of Engineering drawings as per Standards

In summary, during the conversation, there was a discussion about the concept of "Level 1" in engineering drawing. It was clarified that this term is not part of the ASME Y14 series, but is mentioned in a MIL standard. Level 1 refers to the initial stages of design and development, while Level 2 is for production prototypes and limited production, and Level 3 is for final production drawings with clear and precise specifications.

Hello,

What is Level 1 engineering drawing? What does it mean?

Is there any particular section dealing about classification of engineering drawings in ASME Y 14 series.

Please throw some light on this

Thanks

I can't say I ever remember anything called "Level 1" type of drawing in any of the ASME Y14 series. I'll have to take another look through to make sure.

Perhaps it is in reference to an assembly level of a drawing. In other words, the most basic level is a part drawing. The next higher level could be a subassembly level, the next higher level another subassembly. The highest level being the top level assembly drawing.

Thanks Tyroman and FredGarvin.

As FredGarvin pointed out, it is not part of ASMEY14, but was mentioned in MIL standard.

In a nutshell: Level 1 – Conceptual and Developmental Design, Level 2 – Production Prototype and Limited Production, Level 3 - Production.
In level 3 drawings, all of your i's must be dotted and t's crossed, with nothing left open to varying interpretations.
 

FAQ: Classification of Engineering drawings as per Standards

What is the purpose of classifying engineering drawings according to standards?

The purpose of classification is to create a standardized system for organizing and identifying engineering drawings. This makes it easier to locate and interpret specific drawings, and ensures consistency and accuracy in the manufacturing and assembly processes.

How are engineering drawings classified according to standards?

Engineering drawings can be classified according to various standards, such as ISO (International Organization for Standardization) or ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers). These standards typically have a numbering or coding system that categorizes drawings based on their type, purpose, and level of detail.

What are the different types of engineering drawings that can be classified?

The most common types of engineering drawings include assembly drawings, detail drawings, and installation drawings. Other types may include electrical or piping drawings, depending on the specific project requirements.

Are there any benefits to using a standardized classification system for engineering drawings?

Yes, there are several benefits to using a standardized system for classifying engineering drawings. It allows for easier communication and collaboration between different teams and organizations, reduces errors and rework, and improves overall efficiency and productivity.

How does the classification of engineering drawings affect the manufacturing process?

The classification of engineering drawings is crucial in the manufacturing process as it provides a clear and organized representation of the product to be manufactured. It helps ensure that the correct materials, dimensions, and tolerances are used, and that the final product meets the required standards and specifications.
