Drawing titles

[kpinks]

If I have a multi-page drawing, is it OK to have a different title on each sheet (in title block)?

 

[ewh]

I would say no... the drawing title should coincide with the drawing number, or you are just asking for confusion.

No.

When titles are used on continuation sheets, the title shall be the same on each sheet.

Of course, if you don't work to ASME then you'll need to look up the relevant ISO or other spec.

Regardless how many sheets there are, it's one drawing or document. The titles stay the same.

For some reason it occurs to me that some formats (A-size?) don't even have the title on other-than the first page.

But if it's going to be there, it should be the same.

Our drawing formats, that were created per ASME stds, don't have the title on continuation sheets, just drawing no, rev, scale & Page X of Y info.

Sometimes we create drawing for different dash numbers with same base number. Though each part number will have different description we don’t specify on drawing. Respective view will have dash numbers underneath of view. In title black only base number is mentioned. Template will have only title in first page

ASME does allow the second line, if you use them, to be different on each sheet, but the main title must be the same.

Sheet 1: Assembly, Test Stand
BOM

Sheet 2: Assembly, Test Stand
Assembly View

Sheet 3: Assembly, Test Stand
Item Details
etc

looslib, do you have the reference for that, didn't notice it when I was looking at Y14.100 yesterday.

Curious...
In addition to KENATs quote, in the Nonmandatory Appendix C it states "(g) When the drawing title appears on each sheet of a multisheet drawing, the exact same title shall appear on
all sheets."
Is there wiggle room?

There is a wiggle-room because appendix is "non-mandatory". I personally find it stupid (sorry).

I know that the appendix is non-mandatory, but KETNATs original quote was not in the appendix, but under general rules. No "should be" but "shall be".
