 What is It

Lesson 1

SELECT MEASURING INSTRUMENTS

Different Measuring Tools/Instrument and their Application

For all parts of manufacturing and production technology, an understanding of
measurement is essential. In order for people to have common understanding and
application in the production and use of manufactured objects, measurements must
be uniform.

For the purposes of measuring dimensions, measuring tools are used to perform
any work with precision. Measuring instruments are also mainly used to carry out
various types of measurements.

Importance of Measuring Tools

To examine a finished product or semi-finished product, measuring tools are vital.
Inspection or inspection operations involve inspection or testing of an object on the
basis of the required dimensions specified in a diagram or drawing. The
measurements taken must be precise and accurate.

Different Measuring Tools

1. T-Square is used as guide in drawing horizontal lines and in measuring up to

48” straight line.

2. Triangles are used for drawing vertical and oblique lines. The most commonly
used triangles are the 45° and the 30° x 60°. Illustrations below show the proper
use of drawing lines and measuring angles using the T-square and triangle.

6
3. Ruler is the most popular type of measuring tool. It is usually 6 or 12 inches in
length. It is needed for measuring sizes and distances. It is also used to
measure things that are small. Most rulers show customary units of
measurement like inches and metric units of measurement such as millimeter
and centimeter.

4. Triangular Scale is used in general drawing. Its main purpose is to reproduce

the dimension in full size or to reduce or enlarge them on a drawing. Scales
help a drafter keep the proportions accurate.

Steps in Using a Scale

a. Place the edge of the scale parallel to the line being measured.
b. Face the edge of the scale that you're reading toward your non
dominant side (if it's oriented vertically) or away from you (if it's
oriented horizontally). This helps keep you from casting shadows on
the relevant face of the scale as you work.
c. Make light marks to indicate the distance you're measuring or drawing
out, as measured by the scale.
d. Adjust dividers with the scale by making a pencil line as long as the
dividers should be wide, using the scale as a guide. Then adjust the
dividers by orienting the points on the ends of the pencil line. Adjusting
the dividers by placing the points directly on the scale might nick the
surface of the scale, making it hard to read.

5. Protractor is used for measuring and setting of angles other than those
obtainable with the triangles.

6. Tape or tape ruler is a concave, spring-steel blade ranging from 1/4" to 1"
wide and 6 to about 300 feet in length, coiled inside a carrying case. Metric
tape ruler comes in comparable widths and lengths up to 10 meters. It provides
an easy means for accurately measuring curved surfaces.

7
7. Tape Measure is used to measure length. They are used to measure many of
the distances that are too long for a ruler to measure easily and they are
flexible, not rigid.

8. Yard Stick/ Meter Stick measures one yard/meter and shows only metric units
of measurement of feet, inches, centimeters and millimeters. It is used to
measure objects that are larger than a piece of paper.

9. Compass is used to draw circles, arcs, radii, and parts of many symbols.

Steps in Using a Compass

a. Place the point of the drafting compass at the center point of the circle
you intend to draw. If you're drawing an arc, imagine that the arc
extends all the way around into a circle and place the point of the
compass at the center of that imaginary circle.
b. Adjust the leaded end of the compass so that it touches where you'd
like the edge of the arc--or circle--to be. If you're drawing an arc at a
specific distance from the center point, make a line of the desired
distance, adjust the point and leaded end of the compass against the
ends of that line, then place the point of the compass back at the
center point of your circle or arc.
c. Grasp the middle of the compass between your thumb and fingers.
Twist your fingers, applying light downward pressure on the compass
to mark out the desired length of arc or circle with the leaded end of
the compass.

10. Divider is similar to the compass in construction. As the name implies, divider
is used for dividing distances into a number of equal parts by the trial-and-error
method.

8
 Steps in Using a Divider
a. Align each arm of the dividers so that one point is laying on the start
point of the measurement you want to transfer, and the other divider
point is laying on the endpoint of that same measurement.
b. Lift the dividers off the measurement you intend to transfer, being
careful not to change their alignment.
c. Place the dividers over the location you'd like to transfer the
measurement to and make a pencil mark to indicate where each of the
dividers' pointers sits. This duplicates the measurement.

Geometric Shapes
Geometric shapes can be defined by combining the specific number of
curves, points and lines as a figure or area closed by a boundary that is created.
Common Geometric Shapes
1. Circle – is a shape that can be made by tracing curve that is always
the same distance from a point that we call the center.
2. Triangle – is a shape that is formed by three straight lines that are
called sides.
3. Rectangle – is a shape that has four sides. The distinguishing
characteristic of a rectangle is that all four angles measure 90°.
4. Rhombus – is a shape formed by four straight lines. Its sides measure
the same length but unlike the rectangle, any of all angles measure
90°.
5. Square – is a type of rectangle, but also a type of rhombus. It has
characteristics of both.

Circle Rectangle Square

Rhombus
Triangle

Alternative Measuring Tools

Straight Edge Rules – are used specifically to draw or scribe straight lines or for
checking the straightness of a surface. Examples are straight hard paper, book edges,
identification card edges, etc.

 Lesson 2

CARRY OUT MENSURATION AND

CALCULATION

Trade Mathematics/Measurement
The word measurement comes from the word "metron" in Greek, meaning a
limited proportion. After the French Revolution, the metre (U.S. meter) was
standardized as the unit for length, and it has been adopted worldwide. When the
meter is used for linear measurement, metric scales are applied. In many areas,
accurate measurement is essential, and since all measurements are necessarily
approximations, it is necessary to make a great deal of effort to make measurements
as accurate as possible.

Accurately measuring is a skill that should be developed. Improper measurement

would mean that time, effort and materials would be wasted. The development of the
measurement skill begins with the ability to read measurements that enhance one's
numeracy skills that can be used in trades, hence the term trade mathematics.

Two Systems of Measurement

1. English System which originated in England
2. Metric System or Systems International (S.I) which originated in France.

The basic unit in S.I. measurement is called the meter. The meter is divided into
100 centimeters. Each centimeter is divided into 10 millimeters. They are
abbreviated as follows:

Millimeters mm
Centimeters cm
Decimeters dm
Meters m

In the English system, the inch is divided into 16 graduation lines and the smallest
graduation is read 1/16.

1 1 1 3
3/16 7/16 11/16 15/16 16 16

 To read measurement exceeding 1 inch, say 2 inches (2”) and for smaller
𝟒 𝟏
graduations, it is read and written as: 2 or 2 in.

Converting Units of Conversion

We often come across circumstances where we need to bring a uniformity in
the units, when it comes into play to convert between units. There are a whole lot of
benefits to learning metric units, it's easy as its units scale to the power of 10.

GUIDE TABLE IN CONVERSION

English to English 1 foot = 12 inches
Metric to Metric 1 meter = 100 centimeters
1 meter = 10 decimeters
1 dm = 10 centimeters
1 cm = 10 millimeters
English to Metric 1 inch = 2.54 cm
1 inch = 25.4 mm
1 foot = 30.48 cm
Metric to English 1 meter = 3.28 feet
1 meter = 39.37 inches

Sample Solutions in Conversion

A. Foot to inches
8 ft = _________ inches
Solution: Multiply 8 ft by 12 inches / feet = 96 inches

B. Inch to feet
100 inches = _________ feet
Solution: Divide 100 inches by 12 inches / feet = 8.34 feet

C. Centimeter to millimeter
10.5 cm = _________ millimeters
Solution: Multiply 10.5 cm by 10 mm / cm = 105 mm

D. Inch to centimeter
5.8 inches = _________ centimeter
Solution: Multiply 5.8 inches by 2.54 cm / inch = 14.732 cm

Percentage, Fraction and Decimal

How To Compute Percentage

The simplest way to compute percentage is to divide the given amount by the
total and then multiply the answer by 100.

The equation can be put up as follows:

(Given Amount /Total Amount) x100
For example, if Maribeth scores 37 out of 50 in Illustration, we can find the
percentage of his marks by dividing 37 by 50 the answer is 0.74, then multiplying
it by 100 the percentage of his marks is 74%.
Example: (37/50) x 100= 74%

Rounding Off Decimals

Metric decimal measurements are often lengthy numbers. They need to be
rounded to a convenient number of digits frequently. Most metric dimensions in this
text are either entire millimeters or decimals of two places that have been rounded
off. The rounding rules are discussed below to help you round out your own
calculation.

1. If the first number to be eliminated is less than 5, simply drop it (and the
number to the right of it) and let the last significant digit stand.
Examples:
a. Round off 67.4 mm to whole millimeter.
Solution: Simply drop the .4
Answer: 67
b. Round off 0.3125 (5/16) into two significant digits.
Solution: The first number to be eliminated is 2: Simply drop it
and all numbers to its right(5)
Answer: 0.31
2. If the number to be eliminated is 5 or more, drop the number, then add one to
the last digit retained.
Examples:
a. Round off 54.6 into its nearest ones.
Solution:
The number to be rounded off is 6 which is greater than 5, drop
6 and add one to the last digit retained.
Answer: 55
b. Round off 43.65 into its nearest tenths.
Solution:
The number to be rounded off is 5, drop 5 and add one to 6
which is the last digit retained.
Answer: 43.7
