What is ARCH E size?

What is ARCH E size?

What is ARCH E size?

(OP)
I'm in the Air Force and while reviewing our training material I noticed they stated that Architectural E size paper is 30"x42". On the civil circuit I was taught ARCH E was 36"x48" and the other sheet sizes, D-A, were based on those dimensions in proportionatly smaller sizes. So my question is, Which is it? 30x42 or 36x48? Thanks in advance for your guy's help.

RE: What is ARCH E size?

Hope this works...

CODE


   Equivalent Sheet Sizes
     ANSI        Architectual
A 8.5 x 11.0     9.0 x 12.0
B 11.0 x 17.0    12.0 x 18.0
C 17.0 x 22.0    18.0 x 24.0
D 22.0 x 34.0    24.0 x 36.0
E 34.0 x 44.0    36.0 x 48.0
Basically, if you have an E size, you fold it in half, and you have a D size.  Fold that in half, you get a C size.  Fold that in half... well you get the idea.

After all that is said and done, I can't help you with civil though

You see, this is what I was taught as well. But our Air Force training books say Architectual E size is 30x42 and has said that for the last 10 years. Soooo, either they have been wrong all along, they use a different Architectual Standards system (which contradicts its name), or thats some other kind of "alternate" E size.

RE: What is ARCH E size?

In the UK

Arch E  is 36x48
Arch E1 is 30x42
Arch E2 is 26x38
Arch E3 is 27x39

Hope that helps.

I thought DoD was standardizing on/with ASME?

Have you read FAQ731-376 to make the best use of Eng-Tips Forums?

RE: What is ARCH E size?

Arch F is 30 X 42.

DoD is standardizing with ANSI D and ISO A1.
