Classification of Engineering drawings as per Standards

AI Thread Summary
Level 1 engineering drawings refer to conceptual and developmental designs, while Level 2 pertains to production prototypes and limited production, and Level 3 involves finalized production drawings. The ASME Y14 series does not classify drawings using these levels; instead, this classification is mentioned in military standards. The discussion highlights a potential confusion between educational courses on ASME Y14 and actual drawing classifications. It emphasizes the importance of clarity in Level 3 drawings, ensuring all details are precise and unambiguous. Understanding these classifications is crucial for effective engineering communication and documentation.

Hello,

What is Level 1 engineering drawing? What does it mean?

Is there any particular section dealing about classification of engineering drawings in ASME Y 14 series.

Please throw some light on this

Thanks

Anyone, please share their knowledge
 
I can't say I ever remember anything called "Level 1" type of drawing in any of the ASME Y14 series. I'll have to take another look through to make sure.

Perhaps it is in reference to an assembly level of a drawing. In other words, the most basic level is a part drawing. The next higher level could be a subassembly level, the next higher level another subassembly. The highest level being the top level assembly drawing.
 
Thanks Tyroman and FredGarvin.

As FredGarvin pointed out, it is not part of ASMEY14, but was mentioned in MIL standard.
 
In a nutshell: Level 1 – Conceptual and Developmental Design, Level 2 – Production Prototype and Limited Production, Level 3 - Production.
In level 3 drawings, all of your i's must be dotted and t's crossed, with nothing left open to varying interpretations.
 
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'
Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
