You should refer to this figure as you read the following
section. The T-joint consists of two cylinders with
equal diameters that intersect at right angles.
1. Draw a front view and a side view of the T-joint.
A bottom view representing the open end of the
other cylinder might also be drawn. Since this
cylinder is perfectly round, a semicircle may be
drawn attached to the front view. The division
points for the elements can be located on it (view
A).
2. Draw equally spaced divisions to locate the
elements. Project these divisions to both
cylinders. The points where the elements of one
cylinder intersect those of the other define the
intersection of the two cylinders (view B).
3. Draw the surface of the projecting pipe at one
side of the orthographic view so the length of
each element can be projected from the front
view (view C).
4. Draw the surface of the cross pipe below the
front view. Project lines down from the branch
pipe to locate the opening for it (view D).
