The shrinkage factor of a drawing is the ratio of the

  • A.shrunk length to the length of the sheet
  • B.original length to the maximum measurement
  • C.shrunk length to the original length
  • D.original length to the shrunk length

Answer: C

Correct answer: shrunk length to the original length

The shrinkage factor is the ratio of what a line now measures to what it measured when drawn, so a 20 cm line reading 19.5 cm gives 0.975. Being less than one for a contraction, it can be multiplied directly into the representative fraction, which is what makes it the convenient form of the correction.
