sheet metal rectangular tray making

Aim:-To make a rectangular tray from a given metallic sheet.

Tools Required

Procedure

The given metal sheet is smoothed using mallet.

The measurements of rectangular tray (tray development drawing) is drawn on the sheet with given dimensions using the scriber and steel rule.

The sheet is cut as per the marked dimensions by straight snips.
Fold or bend as per the given order using mallet and stake.
Bending is done as per the given dimension using the stake and mallet.
Rivet the folded sheet by using the given rivets and hammer.

Safety Precautions

Each cut you make exposes sharp edges and creates burrs that can slice a finger. Must Use Hand gloves when cutting the sheet.
Metal waste also has hazardous edges. So Wear shoes.
Handle metal sheets with care, especially if they are wet.

Result

Now Ready the rectangular tray from a given metal sheet

Fluid mechanics VIVA QUESTIONS and ANSWERS

1. Define density? Ans: It is defined as the ratio of mass per unit volume of the fluid. 2. Define viscosity? Ans: It is defined as the property of fluid which offers resistance to the movement of fluid over another adjacent layer of the fluid. 3. Differentiate between real fluids and ideal fluids? Ans: A fluid, which is in-compressible and is having no viscosity, is known as ideal fluid while the fluid, which possesses viscosity, is known as real fluid. 4. What is a venturimeter? Ans: It is a device which is used for measuring the rate of flow of fluid flowing through pipe. 5. What is a notch? Ans: A notch is a device used for measuring the rate of flow of a fluid through a small channel or a tank. 6. Define buoyancy? Ans: When a body is immersed in a fluid, an upward force is exerted by the fluid on the body. This upward force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body. 7. Define meta-centre? Ans: It is defined as the point about which a body...

Isometric drawings for practice in AutoCAD

What is Isometric Drawing? Isometric drawing is a method of visually representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions. It allows for a clear and comprehensive depiction of complex structures by keeping the scale consistent and eliminating distortion. Isometric drawings use a 30-degree angle from the horizontal in all three axes (X, Y, and Z), creating a pseudo-3D effect where the height, width, and depth are equally foreshortened. Creating Isometric Drawings in AutoCAD AutoCAD provides tools and settings that make creating isometric drawings straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide: Step 1: Set Up Isometric Snap/Grid 1. Enable Isometric Snap/Grid: - Type `SNAP` in the command line and press `Enter`. - Type `Style` and press `Enter`. - Choose `Isometric` and press `Enter`. 2. Switch Between Isoplanes: - Type `F5` or `CTRL+E` to toggle between the top, right, and left isoplanes. Step 2: Draw Isometric Circles and Arcs 1. Isom...

TIN SMITHY & Sheet metal

TIN SMITHY Introduction : Many engineering and house articles such as boxes, cans, funnels, ducts etc. are made from a flat sheet of metal. The process being known as tin smithy. For this the development of the article is first drawn on the sheet metal, then cut and folded, to form the required shape of the article. Allowance should be given in the drawing stage for folding and bending. This allowance depends upon the radius of the bend and thickness of the sheet metal. Sheet Metal Materials : A variety of metals are used in a sheet metal shop such as galvanized Iron, black, Iron, tin, Stainless Steel, copper and Aluminium. Hand Tools : The common hand tools used in sheet metal work are steel, try square, Wire gauge, Scriber, Ball peen hammer, Nylon Mallet, Snips Divider, Stakes, Cutting plier and Soldering Iron. Here, the details of tools that are being equipped by our workshop purpose only are presented. Wire Gauge: The thickness of sheet is referred in numbers known ...

PLUMBING Introduction Plumbing deals with the laying of a pipeline. A craftsman may be perfectly proficient with the hammer, saw and other tools, but the faces difficulties with leaking pipes and overflowing toilets. Many people rush to a plumber on seeking a tripping pipe, but a person with a little knowledge of the sanitary system can control this problem easily, saving time and, one with help of few tools. Plumbing tools The tools used by a plumber can be classified as follows Pipe wrench Pipe vice Pipe cutter Hacksaw Dies Files and Rasps Plumb bob Pipe wrench A pipe wrench is used for holding and turning the pipes, rods and machine prts. Wrenches are classified as follows. 1.Fixed wrenches 2. Adjustable wrenches. Pipe vice A pipe vice is fitted on the work bench. This has a set of jaws to grip the pipe and prevent it from turning while cutting, threading and fitting of bends, couplings etc. The yoke vice is co...

Welding introduction

WELDING Introduction : Welding is a process of joining two similar or dissimilar metals by the application of heat with or without application of pressure and addition of filler material. The welding is extensively used in manufacturing industry, construction industry and maintenance work, replacing riveting and bolting, to a greater extent. The various welding processes are 1. Electric arc welding 2. Gas welding 3. Thermit welding 4. Resistance welding and 5. Friction welding However only electric arc welding is discussed here. In this process, the work pieces are melted along a common edge, to their melting point and then a filler metal is introduced to form the joint on solidification. The materials to be welded must be free from rust, scale oil or other impurities, so as to obtain a sound weld. Arc Welding: In arc welding, the heat required for joining the metals is obtained from an electric arc. Transformers or motor generator sets are used as arc welding ma...
