Standards Tuesday - Titling your drawing

Posted on May 13th, 2008 in Drawings, Standards by admin

What is the first thing you look at on a drawing? The drawing title. This week for “Standards Tuesday” we will be talking about the drawing titles as there are described in ASME Y14.100. Since one the very first things anybody looks at on a drawing is the title, I figured this is the best place to start. I would bet that you were not aware that there was a procedure for drawing titles per ASME standards. Judging by some of the titles I have seen in my career, it seems that no one is aware of these procedures. Section 5 of ASME Y14.100 lays out the procedures for creating titles for engineering drawings and the items they describe.
