take notes.
You will be given plenty of opportunity to ask questions and practice on
the job. Make sure you practice your new skills during regular work
shifts. This way you will improve both your speed and memory and also
your confidence.
Talk to more experience workmates and ask for their guidance.
Use the self-check questions at the end of each section to test your own
progress.
When you are ready, ask your trainer to watch you perform the activities
outline in this module.
As you work through the activities, ask for written feedback on your
progress. Your trainer keeps feedback/pre-assessment reports for this
reason. When you have successfully completed each element, ask your
trainer to mark on the reports that you are ready for institutional
assessment.

Learning Objectives: At the end of this learning material you should be able
to:
There are three distinct thicknesses of line, as follows: (1) Thick (border
lines, visible lines, cutting-plane lines and short-break lines), (2) Medium
(hidden lines,) and Thin (long- break lines, section lines, center lines,
dimension lines, extension lines, and phantom lines).
If two lines fall on top of one another (coincide), the more important line
is shown. Visible lines take precedence over hidden lines and center lines; and
hidden lines take precedence over center lines. The list below gives the name of
the line; explains how the line is used; indicates the appropriate thickness or
darkness; and provides the recommended pencil weight for drawing the line.
3. Cutting plane lines – These are used to indicate an imaginary cut through
an object along the line. It is made with long heavy dashes alternating with
two small dashes.
4. Center lines – These lines are used to locate centers of object, arcs and
circles. They are drawn by a series of lightweight long and short dashes. The
short dashes are about 1/8” and the long dashes 3/4" in length and the
spaces between dashes are about 1/16”.
5. Dimension lines – They are light in weight and broken in the middle to
provide space for dimensions. Arrow heads are placed at the ends of these
lines to show the points where the dimension end.
6. Extension lines – these are lines used to show clearly the dimension limits.
a) Long break lines – these lines are light in weight with definite breaks.
b) Short break lines – These are indicated with a heavy freehand line.
8. Section lines – These are light lines used in making sectional views. They
are spaced evenly to make a shaded effect.
9. Symmetry lines- Are used when partial views of symmetrical parts are
drawn. It is a center line with two thick short parallel lines drawn at right
angles to it at both ends.
10. Leaders – Are used to indicate the part of the drawing to which note
refers. Arrowheads touch the object lines while the dot rests on a surface.

Introduction:
Line weight is the thickness of the line. Construction lines and guide
lines are very light, easily erased lines used to block in the main layout. Visible
lines are the edges or "outlines" of an object. They are drawn as solid lines with
a thick/heavy weight. All other lines contrast with the visible lines by having
either a thinner weight and/or a combination of dashes.

Orthographic – came from the Greek words orthos and graphos which mean
straight line drawing.
Primarily, three ortho views (top, front, and right) adequately depict the
necessary information to illustrate the object. Sometimes, only two ortho views
are needed as in a cylinder. The diameter of the cylinder and its length are the
only dimension information needed to complete the drawing. A sphere only
needs the diameter. It is the same from all angles and remains a perfect circle
in the isometric drawing.
The "six" side method is a process of making six primary ortho views that
represent the entire image. This method gives you all the information to create
the object from different isometric views.

The height of the object is measured along vertical lines. The width and
depth of the object are measured along the 30 degree to the horizontal plane.

Circuit diagrams are used for the design (circuit design), construction (such
as PCB layout), and maintenance of electrical and electronic equipment.
Drawing circuit diagrams is not difficult but it takes a little practice to draw
neat, clear diagrams. This is a useful skill for science as well as for electronics.
You will certainly need to draw circuit diagrams if you design your own circuits.

Identify the different kinds of plumbing symbols.
The septic tank may be located closer to the building it will serve,
providing a minimum distance of 2.0 meters from the outside wall.
Soil pipe – is any pipe that receives and conveys discharges of water
closet, with or without the discharge coming from other fixtures to the
house drain.
Soil Stack Pipe – a vertical soil pipe conveying fecal matter and
wastewater.
Waste Stack Pipe – a vertical waste pipe conveying wastewater, free from
fecal matter.
2 Types of Waste Pipe (depending upon the kind of fixtures it will serve)
Storm drain - is that unit of the plumbing system that conveys rain or
storm water to a suitable terminal.
Vent pipe – is a pipe or opening used for ensuring the circulation of air in
a plumbing system and for relieving the negative pressure exerted on trap
seals.
a. Main soil and Waste Vent- is that portion of the soil stack above the
highest installed fixture branch extending through the roof.
-it serves as the terminal for the main vent and other vents for the
system.
b. Main Vent- is that portion of the vent pipe system, serving as the
terminal for the smaller forms of individual and grouped fixture trap
ventilation.
c. Individual Vent- is that portion of the vent pipe system that serves as
a single trap. Sometimes referred to as Back Vent.
d. Unit Vent- is defined as that portion of a vent pipe system that
ventilates two fixture traps.
e. Circuit or Loop Vent- is employed where two or more fixture traps,
installed on a horizontal soil or waste branch.
f. Relief Vent- is installed to ventilate the soil and waste pipe and the
connecting branches rather than the fixture traps.
g. Yoke Vent- the same as Relief Vent on its function. Installed at 5 floor
intervals.
h. Wet Ventilation- is defined as that portion of the vent pipe system
where liquid waste regularly flows.

As you can see, the symbol has an arrow, horizontal line (known as the
reference line) and a tail which forks off in two directions. The arrow always
points to the joint on the drawing. On the reference line, in the middle is a
geometric shape, which conveys the type of weld to be performed.
If the shape is on the bottom side of the trunk, the location of the will be on the
“arrow side”. For example:
If the weld shape appears on the reference line, then the weld should be
placed on the opposite side from where the arrow points.
And if the shape appears on both sides of the reference line, it indicates a
weld both sides of the joint where the arrow is pointed.
In this example, below the reference line, the 1/16 inch width and 4 inch
length apply to the fillet weld on the arrow side. (The width of a weld is
measured along both legs of the weld). Occasionally, you'll see a different width
given for each leg. The dimensions above the reference line apply to the weld on
the opposite side from the arrow. When the length is not provided on the
drawing, that the weld should be laid down from the beginning to the end of the
joint length, or where there's an abrupt change in the joint.
Sometimes, a series of separate welds along a joint, rather than a single weld,
are specified. In the following diagram, 3 inch fillet welds are required along the
joint. The "pitch" indicates that these welds should be centered at 5-inch
intervals.
The weld shape on the reference line may also state an angle for the beveled
sides of a groove weld:
Here, the groove weld has dimensions written inside the symbol. The first is
1/8 inch, which pertains to the root opening. The second is 45 degrees, which
covers the included angle between the plates. "Included" in this case means the
sum of the angles on both sides. So the bevel made on each plate prior to
welding must be 22 1/2 inches.
Moving to the other end of the welding symbol, the forked tail is used to convey
special instructions. This might be identifying a specific welding process to use
on the metal, or a method of achieving a certain design feature, like a hole.
When no special instructions are needed, the tail is ommitted from the drawing.
Once you grasp these basics, you'll be ready to absorb the many other
particulars of weld symbols conveyed in shop drawings and blue prints. Among
the features that the symbol can communicate:
Here's the standard chart that explains each part of the welding symbol:

Read and understand the gradation in the Metric and English system.
Every other major country in the world uses the metric system.
There are only three basic measurements. These are meter (m) for
length, liter (L) for volume, and gram (g) for weight. The system is
based on multiples of 10, just like our money system. Ten cents equals
one dime and ten dimes equals one dollar. In the same way, 10mm
equals 1centimeter (cm), 10 cm equals 1 decimeter (dm), and 10 dm
equals 1meter (m) (Fig. 5.3). One thousand meters equals 1 kilometer
(km), which is 0.62mile.
12 inches = 1 foot.
When making measurements in the USC system you deal with small
fractions of an inch (Fig.5-2). For example, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, and 1/64.
DIRECTION: Use your rulers to measure each of the following segments to the
nearest 1/16 of an inch. Make your measurements as accurately as you can.

DIAMETER
Length is the long dimension of any object. The length of a thing is the distance
between its ends, its linear extent as measured from end to end. This may be
distinguished from height, which is vertical extent, and width or breadth, which
is the distance from side to side, measuring across the object at right angles to
the length. In the physical sciences and engineering, the word “length” is
typically used synonymously with “distance”, with symbol / or L.
Units of length
In the physical sciences and engineering, when one speaks of “units of length”,
the word “length” is synonymous with “distance”. There are several units that
are used to measure length. Units of length may be based on lengths of human
body parts, the distance travelled in a number of paces, the distance between
landmarks or places on the Earth, or arbitrarily on the length of some fixed
object.
In the International System of Units (SI), the basic unit of length is the metre
and is now defined in terms of the speed of light. The centimeter and kilometre,
derived from the metre, are also commonly used units. In U.S. customary
units, English or Imperial system of units, commonly used units of length are
the inch, the foot, the yard, and the mile.
The diameter of a circle is the distance from a point on the circle to a point
Radians away, and is the maximum distance from one point on a circle to
another. The diameter of a sphere is the maximum distance between two
antipodal points on the surface of the sphere.
If r is the radius of a circle or sphere, then d = 2r. The ratio of the circumference
c
of a circle or great circle of a sphere to the diameter is pi.
The diameter of a circle is the length of the line through the center and
touching two points on its edge. In the figure above, drag the orange dots
around and see that the diameter never changes.
Sometimes the word ‘diameter’ is used to refer to the line itself. In that sense
you may see “draw a diameter of the circle”. In the more recent sense, it is the
length of the line, and so is referred to as “the diameter of the circle is 3.4
centimeters”.
The diameter is also a chord. A chord is a line that joins any two points on a
circle. A diameter is a chord that runs through the center point of the circle. If
the longest possible chord of any circle.
What is an Angle?
Two rays that share the same endpoint form an angle. The point where the rays
intersect is called the vertex of the angle. The two rays are called the sides of
the angle.
We can specify an angle by using a point on each ray and the vertex. The angle
below may be specified as angle ABC or as angle CBA; you may also see this
written as <ABC or as <CBA. Note how the vertex point is always given in the
middle.

Right Angles
A right angle is an angle measuring 90 degrees. Two lines or line segments that
meet at a right angle are said to be perpendicular. Nore that any two right
angles are supplementary angles (a right angle is its own angle supplement).
Example:
900

Two angles are called complementary angles if the sum of their degree
measurements equals 90 degrees. One of the complementary angles is said to
be the complement of the other.
Example:
580 320
Note: That those two angles can be “pasted” together to form a right angle.
580
320
Supplementary Angles
Two angles are called supplementary angles if the sum of their degree
measurements equals 180 degrees. One of the supplementary angles is said to
be the supplement of the other.
Example:
1390 410
Note: that these two angles can be “pasted” together to form a straight line.
Vertical Angles
For any two lines that meet, such as in the diagram below, angle AEB and
angle DEC are called vertical angles. Vertical angles have the same degree
measurement. Angle BEC and angle AED are also vertical angles.

Freehand sketching requires few tools: just a pencil and paper. It may be
tempting to use straight-edged triangles or rulers for drawing straight lines and
a compass to draw circles. But these instruments often slow down the process
and distract from the purpose of sketching, which is to create a quick, rough
graphical representation of the image in the mind’s eye. Generally sketching
has three steps, although the steps are usually subconscious. First, the sketch
is planned by visualizing it in the mind including the size of the sketch on the
paper, the orientation of the object, and the amount of detail to be included in
the sketch. Second, the sketch is outlined using very light lines to establish the
orientation, proportion, and major features of the sketch. Finally, sharpening
and darkening object lines and adding details develops the sketch.
Figure 3.2
Oblique Sketching
Often freehand sketching begins with light thin lines called construction
lines that define enclosing boxes for the shape that is being sketched.
Construction lines are used in several ways. First, the construction lines
become the path for the final straight lines of the sketch. Second, the
intersection of construction lines specify the length of the final lines. Third,
points marked by the intersection of construction lines guide the sketching of
circles and arcs. And finally, construction lines guide the proportions of the
sketch. This last item is of crucial importance if the sketch is to clearly
represent the object. For example, if an object is twice as wide as it is high, the
proportions in the sketch must reflect this. Proper proportions of the boxes
defined by the construction lines will result in proper proportions of the sketch.
Figure 3.4
Step 2: Sketch in the face of the part using the construction lines as a
guide. How you sketch the outline of the part depends on the type of pen or
pencil that you are using. The idea is to thicken the lines of the part compared
to the construction lines. If you are using a pencil or a felt-tip marker, pressing
hard for the outline of the part will result in heavy or dark lines. If you are
using a ball-point pen, the line width does not depend much on how hard you
press. In this case, the outline of the part is sketched with a back and forth
motion of the pen to thicken the lines of the part compared to the construction
lines as shown in Figure 3.4. The straight lines are usually sketched first,
followed by the arcs. The circle for the hole in the part is added last to complete
the face of the part.
Step 3: Sketch receding construction lines (lines into the plane of the
paper labeled a) at a convenient angle. All of the receding lines must be parallel
to each other and are usually at an angle of 30° to 45°. The receding lines end
at the appropriate depth for the object. Then vertical and horizontal lines at the
back plane of the part are added (lines labeled b). This block in the three-
dimensional box enclosing the object.
Step 4: Sketch in and darken the lines outlining the part. Again it is
usually easiest to sketch in the straight lines first, then the arcs, and finally
any details. Because the construction lines are light compared to the outline of
the part, they are not erased.
The final sketch, while rough and lacking detail, clearly shows the design
intent for the part.
Isometric Sketching
Step 1: Sketch a light horizontal line (a). From this line draw two
intersecting lines at an angle of approximately 30° to the horizontal (b and c).
Then draw a vertical line (d) through the intersection of the previous three
lines. The three lines labeled b, c, and d form the isometric axes of the sketch.
Next sketch the box to block in the front face of the part (e). These lines should
be parallel to axes b and d. Similarly, sketch the lines to block in the right face
(f) making sure that the lines are parallel to axes c and d. Finish this step by
sketching lines parallel to the axes to complete the box that encloses the part
(g).
Step 2: The outline for the front face is added by sketching in lines and
curves (h). Then outline the front face using heavy lines. In this case, a single
heavy line such as might be produced from pressing hard on a pencil or felt-tip
marker is used. Next, lines are sketched to indicate the depth of the features of
the front view (i). These lines should be parallel to axis c. They can be darkened
after they are drawn lightly.
Step 3: Finally, a line is added to complete the back corner of the part (k).
Lines and arcs are added to complete the back face of the part (m). Then the
hole detail is added. Circular holes appear as ellipses in isometric views, as
discussed in the next section.
Step 1: To begin, construction lines to form a box that encloses the object
are drawn to block-in the sketch. Notice that the front and back faces of the
box are rectangular with horizontal and vertical sides. The receding
construction lines are parallel and at an angle of 30° to 45° to horizontal. The
easiest way to draw this box is to first draw the front rectangle (a). Then draw
an identical second rectangle above and to the right of the first rectangle (b).
Finally connect the corners with receding construction lines (c).
Step 2: Now the front face of the base of the object can be sketched in the
front rectangle. The lines are appropriately darkened.
Step 3: Certain features of the front face of the base extend backward
along or parallel to the receding construction lines. For example, the lines (d)
forming the chamfer (angled cut on the right side of the base) can be sketched
parallel to receding lines. Likewise the receding line for the upper left corner of
the base can be sketched (e). Then the base can be finished with a horizontal
line on the back face (f). Now it is possible to block in the upper rounded
portion of the object to create a box (g) that encloses the upper protrusion
within the larger box that encloses the entire object.
Step 4: The front face of the upper portion of the object can be sketched
in this box. Then receding lines corresponding to the chamfer and the left edge

of the base can be darkened. In addition, the lines forming the back face can
be sketched. Note that the line forming the back edge of the chamfer is parallel
to the line forming the front edge of the chamfer. Construction lines (h) on the
front face of the upper portion are drawn to center of the circle for the hole.
Step 5: A receding construction line (i) extending from the peak of the
front face to the plane of the back face is sketched to aid in aligning the curved
outline of the back of the upper portion. The back face is identical to the front
face except that it is shifted upward and to the right. These results in the left
side of the back face being hidden. A darkened receding line (k) finishes the left
side of the upper portion of the object. Finally, four construction lines (m) are
sketched to block in the circle for the hole.
6: Now the hole can be sketched in and darkened. The back edge of the
hole is also added to complete the sketch. The construction lines may be
erased, but usually the construction lines are retained if they are made
properly as light lines.

Oblique sketching is often aided by the use of graph paper with a light,
square grid. The process is identical to that shown in Figure 3.6, but it is easier
to keep the proportions correct by counting the number of boxes in the grid to
correspond to the approximate dimensions of the part. Graph paper further
improves the sketch by helping keep lines straight as well as more accurately
horizontal or vertical.
Isometric Sketching
Finally details are added. The steps to construct an isometric sketch are
shown in Figure 3.7 Some of the construction lines are removed after they are
used, to make the sketch more clear in this figure. Normally, removing
construction lines is not necessary.
Step 1: To begin, sketch a light horizontal line (a). From this line draw
two intersecting lines at an angle of approximately 30° to the horizontal (b and
c) and a vertical line (d) through the intersection of the previous three lines to
form the isometric axes of the sketch. Finish blocking in by sketching lines (e)
to complete the box so that it will completely enclose the object. Unlike the
oblique sketch, it is often better not to sketch hidden construction lines when
blocking in.
Step 2: Block in the front face of the part (f) so that the construction line
is parallel to the isometric axis. Similarly, sketch the line to block in the right
face (g).
Step 3: Sketch the left face and the right face and darken the lines. This
completes the faces that are in the front planes of the box. Now sketch in three
lines (h) parallel to the isometric axis (c). The left line (h) is the top edge of the
base. The middle line (h) finishes the chamfer. The right line (h) is used to aid
in sketching a construction line for the back edge of the base (i), which is
sketched next.
Step 4: Now the face of the chamfer can be darkened and the angled line
at the back edge of the chamfer can be added. This completes the angled face
of the chamfer. Next the protrusion above the base can be blocked in with
seven lines (k).
Step 5: The front face of the upper protrusion is sketched first using light
lines. Construction lines (m) are added to help identify the location of the

endpoints of the arc of the front and back faces of the protrusion. The rounded
rear face (n) is sketched lightly to be identical to the front face, except that part
of it is not visible.
The line at the top left edge of protrusion (o) is added. Then all lines
forming the upper portion of the object are darkened In addition, the line
forming the top edge of the base on the back side is darkened.
Step 6: The details related to the hole are added next. Circles in isometric
projections are difficult to draw because they appear as ellipses with their
major axes at an angle to horizontal. The center of the hole is where two lines
(m) intersect on the front face of the upper portion of the object. The lines (p)
forming the parallelogram to enclose the ellipse for the hole are added. Each
side of the parallelogram should be parallel to one of the isometric axes. The
sides should be equal in length to one another.
Step 8: Now the ellipse that represents the circular hole can be sketched.
A few simple points help in sketching ellipses more easily. The major axis and
minor axis of the ellipse are perpendicular to one another. The major and
minor axes also coincide with the diagonals of the parallelogram enclosing the
ellipse (r). The ellipse touches the parallelogram at the midpoints of the sides of
the parallelogram.
Start drawing the hole by sketching short elliptical arcs between the
midpoints of the parallelogram on either side of the minor axis. Finish the hole
by sketching sharply curved elliptical arcs between the midpoints of the
parallelogram on either side of the major axis of the hole. Finally, darken and
make heavy the lines outlining the hole and any remaining edges of the part.
Isometric sketching is made substantially easier by the use of isometric grid
paper. This paper has a grid of lines at horizontal and 30° to horizontal
(corresponding to lines
Orthographic Sketching
The process for sketching three orthographic views of the object in the previous
two figures is shown in Figure 3.8.
Step 1: Begin by blocking in the front, top, and side views of the object
using the overall width, height, and depth. The construction lines extend
between views to properly align the views and maintain the same dimension in
different views. For instance, line (a) represents the bottom edge and line (b)
represents the top edge in both the front view and the right-side view. The
distance between lines (a) and (b) is the height dimension in both views. The
space between the views should be large enough so that the drawing does not
look crowded and should be the same between all views.
Step 2: In the second step the upper protrusion is blocked in. Note that
line (c) extends across the top and front views, to assure that the width of the
protrusion is consistent in both views. Likewise, line (d) extends across the
front and right-side views.
Step 3: The outline of the object is darkened to clearly show the shape of
the object in all three views. Care must be taken in darkening lines. For
instance, the right corner of the front view should not be darkened, because
the detail of the chamfer has not yet been added.
Step 4: Construction lines for the holes and other details are added next.
The center of the hole is positioned with construction lines ( e). Then
construction lines that block in the hole ( f ) are drawn. These construction
lines extend between views to project the hole to the top view and to the right-
Step 5: Now the hole and chamfer are sketched and darkened to show
the completed object.
