A3 - 297 x 420 277 x 400
A4 - 210 x 297 190 x 277

6.2 Drawing Sheet Materials

CAD drawings may be plotted on translucent paper. In appropriate circumstances A3

size CAD drawings may be plotted on paper.

6.3 Weight, Density and Spacing of Lines

Each type of line whether produced manually or by CAD, shall be of consistent width
and density and shall take account of the eventual microfilming of drawings.

Attachment ENG-TP-202-AT1 defines line widths to be employed for both manual

drafting and CAD unless the project specific requirements are otherwise.

6.4 Lettering

All lettering shall be consistently black and dense.

The type and size of lettering and numerals, whether produced manually or by CAD,
shall take account of the eventual microfilming of drawings.

Attachment ENG-TP-202-AT2 defines the lettering standard and shall be used unless
the project specific requirements are otherwise. Any project specific shall take into
account.

6.5 Layout/Format

6.5.1 Title, Approval & Information Block

The drawing, generally to the right hand side or along the bottom, shall include:-

a) Title Block - including Drawing Number and Revision Letter.

© FOSTER WHEELER 2008

 FW APAC ENG-TP-202
TECHNICAL Rev F1
PRACTICES DRAWING SIZE, FORMAT AND LAYOUT Page: 5 of 6

b) Revision Box - containing Revision letter, Date, Description and Initials of

Draughtsman, Checker and Issuing Engineer.

c) Approved for Construction Box - where appropriate this box is to be included on

drawings, for signature by an Authorised Engineer at "Issue for Construction" and
any subsequent issue.

d) Document Sequence Number.

e) FW Contract Number.

f) FW or Client Logo or both.

g) Notes Box.

h) Reference Drawing Box.

These may be varied due to specific project needs, (i.e. client logo/approval boxes
added etc.) however, all variations shall be formally approved by the relevant Project
Manager and the Project Engineering Manager shall ensure considering between
disciplines.

6.5.2 Plan Views

Plan views shall be placed on arrangement drawings such that north is either to the top
or to the left of the drawing frame. The north point symbol shall be placed in the upper
left hand corner of the drawing.

6.5.3 Elevations

Grade elevation shall be taken as 100.00m at high point of paving (HPP). This may be
varied due to specific project requirements.

6.5.4 Drawing Scale

The original scale used shall be clearly stated on the drawing e.g. ORIGINAL SCALE
1:50. In addition, a metric graduation scale shall be included on all drawings to enable
the scale of any reproduction to be determined.

When it is necessary to use more than one scale on the same drawing, each plan view,
elevation view scrap details etc. shall have the scale clearly identified e.g. PLAN VIEW
LOOKING NORTH SCALE 1:50.

6.5.5 Detail Identification

Numbers shall be used for identifying details. Letters shall be used for identifying
elevations and sections. The letters I, O and Z shall not be used.

6.5.6 Reference Documents

Appropriate reference documents are to be identified by title and document number on

the drawing.

6.6 Revision Markers

Revisions after Rev A1 shall be identified by a cloud and revision mark. Revision clouds
are not required at Rev Z1, As Build Revision, unless otherwise specified by the client.

Revision clouds and revision triangles with the appropriate revisions inserted shall be
carefully located to avoid obliterating the contents of the drawing. Manually produced
drawings shall have the revision clouds and triangles drawn on the back of the drawing
sheet.

Revision codes are defined in Work Instruction ENG-03-307 Preparation of Drawings

and Documents.

6.7 Reference Standards

Reference maybe made to the following National Standards for guidance.

ENG-TP-202-AT1 - LINE WEIGHTS WIDTHS AND STYLES

1. Manual Drafting

Line widths shall be chosen from the following values: 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.7mm,
0.9mm, 1.4mm and 2.0mm. Preferred widths for thick and thin lines are 0.7mm
and 0.3mm respectively.

2. CAD

A typical example of CAD line weighting and style is given below:-

Weighting Line Style

0 Centre line 6

1 All other graphics 0 or 3

3 Equipment outlines 0

5 or 6 Matchlines, isometric graphics 6 or 7

Note that lines thinner than 0.3mm and thicker than 3.0mm shall not be used.
