Sets out drawing practice common to all fields on engineering diagrams. Covers layout, types of diagrams, drawing sheets, lines, lettering and graphical symbols.

This Part of BS 5070 gives recommendations for the general principles of presentation and practice to be applied to engineering diagrams of all types that depict by the use of graphic symbols the function of a system or the relationship between components and parts.

Other Parts of this British Standard give recommendations and specific definitions that are appropriate to particular engineering disciplines.

Electrotechnology diagrams are not covered.

NOTE 1 The relevant Part of BS 5775 should be complied with for the correct application of units and symbols for quantities.

NOTE 2 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
