DEVELOPMENT OF RECTANGULAR TRAY

RECTANGULAR TRAY

All dimensions are in mm.

 RECTANGULAR TRAY
DATE: EX.NO.

Aim: To make the rectangular tray from the given sheet metal.

Material Required:
26 gauge Galvanized Iron (G.I) Sheet [150x110mm]

Tools required:
Steel Rule, Scriber, Try-Square, Ball Peen Hammer, Mallet, Stacks, Straight Snip, Groover,
Pliers and Compass.

Sequence of Operation:
a. Marking
b. Cutting
c. Hemming
d. Bending
e. Finishing

Working Steps:
1. The given GI sheet is marked as per the given dimensions shown in the drawing.
2. The unwanted portion of the sheet is cut by using the straight snip along the marked lines.
3. Then the sheet is levelled for the perfect flatness using the mallet.
4. The position of the hemming operation is marked at the edges with the help of the steel rule
and a scriber.
5. By holding the sheet in the bench vice the hemming operation is done on four sides of the
tray using ball peen hammer.
6. The sides of the tray are bent to 90 degree as per the given sketch by using the required
stacks, anvil and mallet.
7. Finally all the corners of the tray are joined by rivetting and finishing operations.

Result: Hence the rectangular tray is made on the given GI sheet to the required size.
DEVELOPMENT OF FUNNEL

CONE

NECK

All dimensions are in mm.

 FUNNEL
DATE: EX.NO.

Aim: To make the funnel from the given sheet metal.

Material Required:
26 gauge Galvanized Iron (G.I) Sheet [200x100mm]

Tools required:
Steel Rule, Scriber, Try-Square, Ball Peen Hammer, Mallet, Stacks, Straight Snip,
Groover, Pliers and Compass.

Sequence of Operation:
a. Marking
b. Cutting
c. Hemming
d. Bending
e. Finishing

Formula Used: Angle , = (R/ L ) 360

Where , R = radius of the top circle of the funnel

L = Slanting length

Working Steps:

1. Funnel is splitted into cone and cylinder

2. The development of cone and cylinder are drawn on the given GI sheet, using steel rule,
scriber and compass.
3. The unwanted portion of the sheet is cut by using the straight snip along the marked lines.
4. Then the sheet is levelled for the perfect flatness using the mallet.
5. The position of the hemming operation is marked at the top edge of the cone and also at the
bottom edge of the cylinder, with the help of the steel rule and a scriber as per the
specification given in the sketch.
6. The cone and the cylinder are joined together by seaming operation and soldering is done
around the joint.
7. Hemming is done at the top and bottom of the funnel by using required stacks and mallets
8. Finally finishing operation is done to aviod ups and downs of the funnel
 FUNNEL

All dimensions are in mm.

Result:
Hence the funnel is made on the given GI sheet to the required size.
DEVELOPMENT OF WINNOWING PAN

WINNOWING PAN

All dimensions are in mm

 WINNOWING PAN
DATE: EX.NO.

Aim: To make a winnowing pan from the given sheet metal.

Material Required:
26 gauge Galvanized Iron (G.I) Sheet [130x110mm]

Tools required:
Steel Rule, Scriber, Try-Square, Ball Peen Hammer, Mallet, Stacks, Straight Snip, Groover,
Pliers, Compass.

Sequence of Operation:
a. Marking
b. Cutting
c. Hemming
d. Bending
e. Finishing

Working Steps:
1. The given GI sheet is marked as per the dimensions shown in the drawing.
2. The unwanted portion of the sheet is cut by using the straight snip along the marked lines.
3. Then the sheet is leveled for the perfect flatness using the mallet.
4. The position of the hemming operation is marked at the edges with the help of the steel rule
and a scriber.
5. Hemming is done at the top and bottom of the funnel by using required stacks and mallets.
6. By holding the sheet in the bench vice, the hemming operation is done on the three sides of
the dust pan using ball peen hammer and pliers.
7. The sides of the dust pan are bent to 90 degree by using the required stacks anvil and mallet.
8. Finally all the corners of the tray are joined by riveting and finishing operations

Result:

Hence the winnowing pan is made on the given GI sheet to the required size.
