Learners examine the use of the tolerances displayed in a title block by calculating the minimum and maximum allowable size of a fabricated part. In a brief quiz, students determine whether a part is usable or should be scrapped.

Learners examine the information on a title block and answer questions about that information in an interactive quiz.

In this activity we’ll explain what a title block is and how to read the information it holds.

2D and 3D views used to help convey information from a drafter or designer to the welder are provided. This activity will focus on a slotted block. A short quiz to test your ability to correctly read this information follows.

Learners test their ability to visualize a three-step block in this interactive exercise that features animated pictorial views.

In this learning activity you'll illustrate your ability to visualize a slotted block.
