Building: Blueprint Reading Skills Explained

This training teaches to learner how to view and interpretation lines on a blueprint, defines dimensions and tolerancing specifications, presents auxiliary information and geometric tolerancing, and finally, details basic welding symbols.

Training for anyone interested in or working in the welding field; or anyone with a general nterested in reading blueprints.

• View and Line Interpretation
• Dimensions and Tolerancing Specifications
• Auxiliary Information and Geometric Tolerancing
• Welding Symbols

• View and line interpretation.
  • Illustrates orthographic projection and demonstrates how the projection is interpreted through the presentation of the various views.
  • Demonstrates how the various types of lines are used on blueprints and how each is an aid in reading the print.
• Dimentions and tolerancing specifications.
  • Introduces the conventional and baseline methods of blueprint dimensioning.
  • Explains the concept of tolerance and demonstrates the application of both unilateral and bilateral tolerance specification.
• Auxiliary information and geometric tolerancing.
  • Show other aspects of blueprint reading through the interpretation of specific print components including notes, revisions, blueprint scales and find lists.
  • Introduces and explains the need for applications of geometric tolerancing.
  • Demonstrates how some of the more basic geometric symbols are applied and interpreted.
• Welding symbols.
  • Illustrates how various welding symbols, devised by the American Welding Society, are drawn on the blueprint and interpreted by the fabricator.
  • Explains how the methods of weld dimensioning, joint preparation and weld finishing are imparted to shop personnel through the use of symbols.
