Description

For over 50 years, Basic Blueprint Reading and Sketching has been an international best-seller and THE definitive resource for blueprint reading. Basic Blueprint Reading and Sketching 9th Edition continues the traditions that have helped over 50 million students achieve competence in reading and sketching technical drawings. This classic interactive book/workbook will help users develop skills in reading and interpreting industrial drawings and preparing basic to advanced technical sketches. This book will provide them with basic principles, concepts, ANSI and SI Metric drafting symbols and standards, terminology, manufacturing process notes, and other related technical information contained on a mechanical or CAD drawing. Each unit features a basic principle and at least one blueprint and assignment that encourages students to practice newly learned skills. this edition contains coverage of the latest ANSI, ISO, AWS and ASME standards.

Features:

New Unit 5 covering Projection Lines and other line types added recognizing the incrasing impact of CAD on the subject of BPR.
New Unit 18, Interchangeable Parts, Allowances and Class of fit added to teach users how to dimension mating parts not needing GD&T, filling a previous void of how to get from a detail drawing to an assembly drawing.
Modifies over one hundred and eighty figures and drawings, where appropriate, to more clearly represent the best drafting techniques.
Updates all GD&T related content, charts and drawings in Unit 29 to reflect the latest ANSI standards.
Updates and revises all references to computers used in drawing, storage, CNC and MFG, CAD/CAM, CADD, CIM robotics, scanning and copying.
Updates expanded coverage on geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD and T) to the most current ANSI standards and revises numerous drawings to conform to ANSI Y14-M standards and ISO metric standards.
Includes major enhancements to the graphics and line quality of drawings, as well as a more functional use of color help in developing print reading skills with accuracy.
Contains very short units of instruction that break up material into manageable chunks of information with abundant assignment, including sketching, that serve to engage reader interest.
New Unit 32, Surfact Developments and Precision Sheet Metal Drawings, added in response to reviewer feedback.

From the Preface

Almost all engineers, technicians, architects, machinists, mechanics, and persons whose jobs are related to manufacturing, transportation, construction, and fabrication - from designers to after-market sales persons - frequently refer to blueprints (a copy of any original technical drawing). The written word is insufficient to communicate physical facts completely and accurately. They must be supplemented by graphical representations (drawings). One may never need to make a technical drawing, but all must be able to read and understand them or be professionally illiterate.

This text, Basic Blueprint Reading and Sketching, covers all the basic content and exercises to make someone a competent reader of blueprints. It also uniquely covers the increasing need to be able to accurately make technical sketches.

The current edition carries on the traditions that have helped an estimated 58 million users, over its lifetime, to achieve competence in reading and sketching technical drawings as no other book in its field has been able to do. It is the most used blueprint reading book because of the ‘hands-on experiences’ of the authors and because of Dr. C. Thomas Olivo’s original occupational analysis and his writing and organizational skills that are continued by Thomas P. Olivo. In addition, the recommendations by the publisher’s reviewers and the author’s diverse team of consultants provide continued adjustments to revise the depth and breadth of its content.
