Engineering Workshop Practice

Designed for the core course on Workshop Practice offered to all first-year diploma and degree level students of engineering, this book presents clear and concise explanation of the basic principles of manufacturing processes and equips students with overall knowledge of engineering materials, tools and equipment commonly used in the engineering field. The book describes the general principles of different workshop processes such as primary and secondary shaping processes, metal joining methods, surface finishing and heat treatment. The workshop processes covered also include the hand-working processes such as benchwork, fitting, arc welding, sheet metal work, carpentry, blacksmithy and foundry. It also explains the importance of safety measures to be followed in workshop processes and details the procedure of writing the records of the practices. The tools and equipment used in each hand-working process are enumerated before elaborating the process. Finally, the book discusses the machining processes such as turning operations, the cutting tools and the tools used for measuring and marking, and explains the working principle of Engine Lathe. An appendix for advanced level practice and assessment of work has also been included. New to This Edition : A separate chapter on Plumbing as per the revised syllabus of Indian Universities Method for sketching isometric single line piping layout Neatly-drawn illustrations and examples on Plumbing Key Features : Follows the International Standard Organization (ISO) code of practice for drawings. Includes a large number of illustrations to explain the methods and processes discussed. Contains chapter-end questions for viva voce test and exercises for making models.

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Mechanical Engineering: Part I. Workshop Practice; Part II. Theory and Examples While never introducing mathematics unnecessarily, I have stated all the 'steps' that space permitted in such mathematics as have been introduced, and the latter will be found Of but an elementary character, involving only simple equations, fractions, and the use Of tables Of sines and logarithms. The substitution Of graphic treatment for the higher mathematics in many cases will, I think, be appreciated by most students. As regards the order Of Part II., the Strength Of Materials without doubt comes first, to be followed by Energy and Kinematics; these all assist in the treatment Of Prime Movers worked by gases or liquids. With the knowledge acquired from Part I. And his own experience in the workshop, supplemented by the theory Of Part II the student should be able to commence the study of original design, for he is now in acquaintance both with what theory directs and the workshop restricts.
