Point to Point Measurements

Point-to-point measurements are for reference only. Use these measurements for diagnosis for validating. Point-to-point measurements do not afford the accuracy that 3-Dimensional measuring systems have. Point-to-point measurements are duplicated with tram bar pointers set at equal lengths. All holes, slots and fasteners are measured to the center.

Three-Dimensional Measurements

Three-dimensional measurements are provided in the absences of dimension information from your equipment supplier. Universal three-dimensional measuring equipment is required to use these numbers. You may need to adjust the height dimensions to match the datum height of your equipment. Only the width dimensions can be used to measure point-to-point. All holes, slots and fasteners are measured to the center.

Plane

A centerline is an imaginary vertical plane that is perpendicular to the length of the datum plane through the center of the vehicle. The centerline is any line drawn through the center of the vehicle's datum. The symbol for centerline is CL.

Scheme 39

Scheme 39: Plane

Length

Centerline length measurements are 3 dimensional measurements. The 3 dimensions are the following

  1. Length, the distance between 2 points when the height is parallel to the center plane.
  2. Height, the measurement is parallel to the datum plane.
  3. Width, the measurement is parallel to the center plane.

Show the horizontal width and length dimensions of the underbody from the bottom of the underbody. Show the vertical dimensions from the side of the underbody. Use the datum plane as a base for all vertical, height, measurements.

Vertical Body Zero Line

The vertical body 0 line is a line drawn through the frame either at the forward or rearward torque box area of the frame.
