Standards Tuesday - Bill of Materials Pt2

Posted on June 10th, 2008 in Assemblies, Drawings, Standards, Uncategorized by admin

Last week for Standards Tuesday I introduced you to ASME Y14.34M-1996. In case you missed it, it might be a good idea to read last week’s post before continuing. This week I will briefly describe the requirements for creating a separate parts list or BOM. ASME Y14.34M defines a Separate Parts List as:

A parts list prepared as a document separate from the engineering drawing to which it is associated and one that may be revised independently of the drawing.

Standards Tuesday - Bill of Materials

Posted on June 3rd, 2008 in Assemblies, Drawings, Standards by The SW Geek

Over the next couple of weeks I will be covering Bill of Materials for Standards Tuesday, or Parts Lists as they are referred to in Section 5 of ASME Y14.34M-1996. Today I will concentrate on some of the elements that make up a BOM including which columns are mandatory and which are optional. Most material covered here will not be new to some of you but you may be surprised. When I was researching for this post I learned a few things that surprised me and I immediately recognized mistakes I have made in the past. I know I have learned things that will improve my drawings in the future and I hope you will feel the same.
