TS 10849

TS 10849 is a withdrawn standard focused on how sections are represented in technical drawings using the normal projection method. In drafting practice, sectional representation is one of the main ways to make internal features legible, and this standard addresses that representation within the normal projection arrangement.

Why section views matter in normal projection

As general technical context, a section view is created by imagining an object cut by a plane and then showing the remaining geometry in projection. Normal projection is the classical orthographic layout used to organise views relative to one another. Together, these concepts help produce clearer drawings for machine parts, structural components and products with complex internal form, where hidden detail would otherwise be difficult to interpret.

What this standard covers

• Representation of sections used in normal projection
• Consistent presentation of section information in technical drawings
• Use of section views within the normal projection layout

Based on its title and scope, this is a technical drawing document specifically about the representation of sections, not a general drafting handbook. It supports consistent graphical communication in engineering drawings by defining the subject area of section depiction. The record is linked to DIN 6 Teil 2 (1986), which places it in the broader family of established technical drawing conventions for orthographic representation.
