Drawing Requirements Manual (DRM)

ISBN 10: 1570530025 ISBN 13: 9781570530029

Publisher: Electronic Industries Assn, 2008

The Drawing Requirements Manual contains instructions for the preparation of engineering drawings and models based on ASME Y14.100, ASME Y14.5M-1994, ASME Y14.41-2003, and many other standards and specifications for commercial applications, along with information on MIL-DTL-31000 for Department of Defense (DoD) and other government applications. Simply put the Drawing Requirements Manual explains the information contained in these standards and specifications, provides information on to how apply the applicable rules/techniques, clarifies the material in the applicable standards, and finally one of its most valuable features - adds additional rules and requirements where needed.

The new 11th Edition of the Drawing Requirements Manual has been revised so that the information with in it aligns with the current revisions of the many standards it covers, and aligns with current and forthcoming trends in the industry. This is all highlighted by the new Section 26 on 3D Solid Modeling and Using Digital Data and Annotated Models as Design Deliverables. The new Section 26 of the DRM 11th Edition includes a an inclusive interpretation of ASME Y14.41-2003, containing additional material not found or addressed in ASME Y14.41-2003, techniques for 3D application not listed or inadequately addressed in the standard, and the realities of the workplace demanding additional guidance beyond the material in ASME Y14.41-2003 or anywhere else.

About the Author:

Bryan R. Fischer, one of the leading GD&T, Dimensional Management, Tolerance Analysis, and Drawing Standards subject-matter experts, was selected to revise the 11th edition. He is a longtime member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and a member of several standards sub-committees, including ASME Y14.100.

When we set out to create the 11th Edition of the Drawing Requirements Manual, we set our sights high. Our goal was to align the Drawing Requirements Manual with the current revisions of the many standards it covers, and to align it with current and forthcoming trends in industry, such as the exciting new chapter on 3D Solid Modeling and Using Digital Data and Annotated Models as Design Deliverables. This revision is a quantum leap forward in scope and coverage.
