Unit Descriptor
Unit descriptor |
This unit covers marking out complex cylindrical/rectangular fabrications. |
Application of the Unit
Application of the unit |
This unit reflects the advanced skills required to calculate parallel line developments. In the context of light gauge fabrications this unit may apply to marking out complex cylindrical&rectangular sheetmetal fabrications used in square/rectangular ventilation ducting, air-conditioning and cylindrical components. In the context of heavy gauge fabrications this unit may apply to marking out complex cylindrical&rectangular plate and/or pipe fabrications used in ducting, extraction, piping and cylindrical components. Marking out skills for general engineering and maintenance is covered by Units MEM12006C (Mark off/out [general engineering]), MEM07005C (Perform general machining), MEM18006C (Repair and fit engineering components) and MEM18014B (Manufacture press tools and gauges) Band : A Unit Weight : 2 |

Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Mark off/out fabrications |
1.1. Specifications and work requirements are determined using correct calculations appropriate to the task. 1.2. Development is carried out to specifications or standard operating procedures using tools and equipment appropriate to the task. 1.3. Datum points are correctly established and indicated. 1.4. Allowances are correctly determined and marked (thickness, bend, pitch, angle, circumference, perimeter). |
2. Make templates as required |
2.1. Template material is selected appropriate to the marking out requirements. 2.2. Templates are accurately produced. 2.3. Allowances are correctly determined and transferred. 2.4. Templates for rolling, bending, pressing, drilling and profiling are accurately produced. 2.5. Correct storage procedures are followed including labelling and identification to standard operating procedures. |
3. Develop patterns as required |
3.1. The most appropriate development method for the task is chosen and applied. 3.2. Allowances are correctly determined and transferred. |
4. Interpret relevant codes, standards and symbols |
4.1. Relevant standards/codes and symbols are interpreted. 4.2. Requirements of standards/codes are interpreted and applied to materials and processes. |
5. Estimate quantities of materials from engineering drawings |
5.1. Materials are correctly identified. 5.2. Quantities are estimated from drawings. 5.3. Material use is optimised and wastage is minimised. |

Evidence Guide
EVIDENCE GUIDE |
|
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. |
|
Overview of assessment |
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to mark out complex cylindrical/rectangular fabrications. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit |
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and to be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment |
This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate. This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with advanced geometric development or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit. |
Method of assessment |
Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. |
Guidance information for assessment |
