Measuring Tools used for the purpose of measuring dimensions,

measuring tools are imperative for implementing any work with
precision. The measuring tools are also used largely for carrying out
different types of measurements.
Importance of measuring tools
Measuring tools are essential for examining a finished product or
semi- finished product. The inspection or examination operations
include checking, or testing an object based on the required dimensions
given on a diagram or a sketch. Again the measurements taken must
be accurate.
Types of measuring tools

1. T-Square is used a guide in drawing horizontal lines and in
measuring up to 48” straight line.
13
2. Triangles are used for drawing vertical and oblique lines. They are
usually made of celluloid or plastic and come in various sizes. 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.
TRIANGLE
14
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.
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.
TRIANGULAR SCALE
5. Protractor is used for measuring and setting of angles other than

those obtainable with the triangles.
PROTRACTOR
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.
15
How to Take Care of Drafting Measuring Tools
Tools will last longer when properly kept and maintained. A good
worker or draftsman keeps and takes care of these tools. The following
are some pointers:
1. Be sure to inspect tools before using them. This is to check if they are
in working condition. This can be detected when there is ease and
speed when in use.
2. After using a tool, clean it thoroughly with a damp cloth. Wipe it dry
with another piece of cloth before keeping it.
3. When not in use, the T-square is preferably hung by inserting the hole
to a nail (attached to a wall) at the end of its blade.
4. Do not abuse or misuse any piece of drawing instruments.
5. Avoid throwing tool to anybody instead hand it over
6. Avoid setting off the distances individually by moving the scale to a
new position each time, because slight errors in the measurements
may accumulate and give rise to a large error.
16
7. Avoid unnecessary sliding of T-square or triangles across the drawing.
Pick up the triangle by their tips and tilt the T-square blade upward
slightly before moving.
8. Report defective tool and any hazard to instructor immediately.

TRADE MATHEMATICS/MEASUREMENT
INTRODUCTION
25
The word measurement comes from the Greek word "metron,"
meaning limited proportion. The metre (U.S.: meter) was standardized
as the unit for length after the French Revolution, and it has been
adopted throughout the world. Metric scale is applied when the meter is
used for linear measurement. Accurate measurement is essential in
many fields, and since all measurements are necessarily
approximations, a great deal of effort must be taken to make
measurements as accurate as possible.
Measuring accurately is a skill that should be developed.

Inaccurate measurement would mean waste of time, effort and
materials. The development of the skill in measuring starts with the
ability to read measurements.
Two systems of measurement

There are two systems of measurement: the English system which
originated in England and the Metric system or Systems International
(S.I) which originated in France.
The basic unit in the 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 graduations and the
smallest graduation is read 1/16
1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 16
16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 or 1 inch

0 1 INCH
To read measurement exceeding 1 inch say 2” and for smaller

graduations, it is read and written as: 2 4/16 or 2 ¼.
1 Foot + 2 inches + 3 smaller graduations, it is read and written as:
2 14” 3/16
In the S.I measurement, the meter is divided into 10 millimeters

OPERATION SHEET # 2.1
One way to practice the use of drawing instruments and drawing

geometric figures mechanically is to solve geometrical problems
graphically. In fact, a concerned draftsman always applies the four (4)
28
basic operations of mathematics, such as addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division.
The following problems include computations needed in drawing

geometric figures.
1. Construct a hexagon with the given

radius. Given: 30 mm Steps:
a. Draw a circle with the given radius equivalent to 30 mm.
b. Draw a horizontal line passing through the center of the circle
until it intersects the circumference at points 1 and 4.
c. With these two points as centers and with the same radius,
draw two arcs so that they will intersect the circumference at
points 2, 3, 5, and 6.
d. The straight lines connecting all these points become the sides
of the polygon.

R1 = ; smaller circle
R2 = ; bigger circle
R = : given radius
Steps:
29
a. Add the radius of the smaller circle R1 and the given radius r
b. Using this sum as the radius and point O1 as center, draw an
arc above and between the two given circles.
c. Add the radius of the larger circle R2 and the given radius r.
d. Using this sum as the radius and point O2 as center, draw an
arc so that it will intersect the other arc at point O3. The points
of tangency, P1 and P2 are found by drawing straight lines from
the centers of the two circles.

DIMENSION
Dimension is the numerical value that is being assigned to the

size, shape or location of the feature being described. Dimensions are
indicated in drawings by dimension lines and numerical figures. A
31
properly dimensioned drawing helps ensure that the part produced in
the manufacturing phase matches the part asked for.
Before we begin to study the rules for dimensioning, let us learn

first the anatomy of a dimension (Please see figure below).
FIG. 1 Anatomy of a dimension.
KINDS OF DIMENSION
a. Size Dimension tells how large or small an object is.

b. Location Dimension locates a feature of an object.
32
Location and size dimension
DIMENSIONING SYSTEM
a. Aligned system are figures aligned with the dimension lines so that
they may be read from the bottom or from the right side of the sheet.
(Note: Dimensions and notes shown with leader lines are aligned
with the bottom of the page.)
b. Unidirectional system are figures and notes lettered horizontally
on the sheet and read from the bottom of the drawing.
/ ALIGNED
System of placing dimensions
OVERALL DIMENSIONS are the total thickness or height, width and

length of an object.
DETAILED DIMENSIONS are the thickness, length and width of each part
of the same object.
RULES IN DIMENSIONING
The following rules provide some simple guidelines to be followed
when placing dimensions on a drawing.
33
• The dimension should be applied in the view that provides the best
description of the feature being dimensioned. For example, holes
should be dimensioned in a view where they appear round.
Generally the dimension is placed between views.
Sample illustration of placing dimensions

• Apply dimensions in a view where the feature appears in its true size.
• Reference dimensions should be placed in parenthesis. This means
that it is not required. The total length is known because the radius
of the curve on the left side is given.
Parenthesis is placed in reference dimension

• The dimension should be centered between the extension lines.
34
• The dimension may be placed outside of the dimension lines if there
is insufficient space. The arrows may point out depending on the
available space.
The dimension should be centered between the extension lines.
• Place larger dimensions towards the outside so that extension lines

don’t cross dimension lines.
Avoid crossing dimension lines
• Do not over-dimension. Each feature should be dimensioned once.

• If aligned dimension is used, dimensions must be read from the lower
or right-hand side of the sheet. If unidirectional system is used, all
dimensions must be read from the bottom of the sheet.
35
• Dimension lines should not end at object lines. Use extension lines to
relate the dimension to the feature being described.
• Do not place dimensions in the view. Use extension lines from the
feature and locate the dimension outside of the view.
Using extension lines in dimensioning
• Use the diameter dimension to specify the size of holes and cylinders.
Precede the dimension with the diameter symbol Ø.
• Use the radius to dimension an arc. The radius dimension is preceded

by the symbol R.
36
 For round holes, dimension with the diameter symbol Ø. For arcs, use
radius dimension preceded by the symbol r.
• Concentric circles should be dimensioned in a longitudinal view.
Dimensioning concentric circles.
• Stagger the dimensions if they are stacked.

• Dimensions should be uniformly spaced.
• Circular features should be located by dimensioning the centerlines
37
Circles are located through dimensioning the centerlines.
• Avoid dimensioning hidden lines. Create a section view if necessary to

dimension an object line.
Dimensioning hidden edges
38
OTHER DIMENSIONING RULES
 Dimensions should generally be placed between views.
 Avoid repetition of dimensions.
 Dimension lines should be parallel to the edge or line being
measured.
 The flares of the arrowhead should be properly made.
 The fine line in a dimension line must be strictly observed.
 The figures or numbers in a dimension line should be legible and
properly located.
 Use an outside dimension if the space is limited and use inside
dimension if the space is ample or wide.
 Continuous dimensions should be used whenever possible.
 Staggered dimensioning should be used when the spaces for the
dimensions are narrow.
 A dimension line may be terminated by a projection or center line.
 Dimension lines should not be extended beyond the edge of line
being measured.
 Arrowheads should point to the terminating line and not to the
dimensional figure.
 Let no workman add or subtract dimensions.
 When giving the location dimensions for round holes, measure the
center-to-center distance between holes and from the center line of
the holes to the two nearest visible lines.
 Never crowd dimensions.
 Give the diameter of a circle or round hole and radii of arcs.
 Projection or extension lines and other alphabet of lines used in
dimensioning should be properly drawn.

RATIO AND PROPORTION
• Proportion
A Proportion is an equation with a ratio on each side. It is a
statement that two ratios are equal. Example: :

When one of the four numbers in a proportion is unknown, cross
products may be used to find the unknown number. This is called
solving the proportion. Question marks or letters are frequently used
in place of the unknown number.
Example:
1 n
Solve for n:
2 4
Using cross products, we see that 2xn=1x4=4, so 2xn=4. Dividing
both sides by 2 n=4÷2 so that n=2.
• Ratio
Ratio is a comparison of two numbers. We generally separate the
two numbers in the ratio with a colon (:). Suppose we want to write the
ratio of 8 and 12. We can write this as 8:12 or as fraction 8/12, and we
say the ratio is eight to twelve.
Examples:
Jerson has a bag with 3 videocams, 4 marbles, 7 books, and 1 mango.
1. What is the ratio of books to marbles?
Expressed as a fraction, with the numerator equal to the first quantity
and the denominator equal to the second, the answer would be 7/4.
Two other ways of writing the ratio are 7 to 4, and 7:4.
2. What is the ratio of the videocams to the total number of items in

the bag? There are 3 videocams, and 3+4+7+1 = 15 items
total.The answer can be expressed as 3/15, 3 to 15 or 3:15.

1. 1 = N
5 10
2. 3 = 6
4 N
3. 2 = N
5 20
II. Find the ratio of the following

Gemir has a box with 4 sets of drawing instruments, 8 pcs of
drawing papers, 2 boxes of craypass and 7 drawing pencils 4.
4. What is the ratio of the box to the drawing instruments?

5. What about the ratio of the box to the drawing pencils?
43
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 John scores 60 out of 75 in Drafting Technology,

we can find the percentage of his marks by dividing 60 by 75 the
answer is 0.8, then multiplying it by 100 the percentage of his marks
is 80%.
Example: (60/75) x 100= 80%
ROUNDING OFF DECIMALS

Metric measurements in decimals are often long numbers. They
must often be rounded to a convenient number of digits. In this text
most metric dimensions are either whole millimeter or two-place
decimals that have been rounded off. To help you round off your own
calculation, rules of rounding are discussed below.
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.
Example:
Round off 25.4 mm to whole millimeter.
Solution: Simply drop the .4
Answer: 25
44
Example: 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.
Example:
a. Round off 78.6 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: 79
b. Round off 92.65 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: 92.7

TECHNICAL TERMS
Alphabet of lines are set of conventional line symbols used in

orthographic drawings.
Assembly Drawing is an orthographic drawing of an object with its
parts assembled.
Auxiliary view is an extra or helping view of an orthographic drawing
perpendicularly projected from an inclined surface.
Detail Drawing is a large-scale drawing that shows of part of a
machine, device, or building.
Exploded Drawing is the showing of items in a diagram, but with their
relative maintained positions.
Frontal plane is a plane where the front view is
projected in a single viewing.
Ground plane is the edge view of the ground upon which the object
usually rests.
Hem is used to strengthen the lips of sheet metal objects, made in 4
mm, 6mm, 10 mm, etc. standard sizes.
Horizon represents the eye level of the observer.
Horizontal plane is a plane where the top view is projected
approximately as appear to the observer.
Isometric drawing is one view drawing showing its three faces with
equal measure.
Oblique projection is a kind of pictorial drawing of an object which
surface is parallel to the front plane while the others are oblique or
inclined to it.
Parallel Development refers to measuring lines parallel to one another.
Examples are cube, cylinder and prism.
Pattern is a part or model used as a guide for making something.
Offset Section shows the zigzag direction of the cutting plane if the
principal interior features of an object are not located in a straight
line.
Orthographic is a graphic presentation of an object showing the three
space dimensions of an object in its true shape and size.
Pictorial drawing shows several faces of an object at once.
Projection is a view conceived to be drawn or projected onto a plane.
Radial development refers to measuring lines that converge at a
certain points for example are the pyramid and cone.
Seams are used to strengthen sheet metal sections. They are usually
joined by soldering and/ or riveting process.
Section is an orthographic view showing the inside view or
construction of an object.
Sectional view is a method of drawing presentation showing the
interior parts of the building especially when the inner parts is
complicated.
Vanishing point represents the center of vision.

LO1. Analyze signs, symbols and data
Drafting is said to be the universal language of industry and

modern technology. It is through the application of special lines and
symbols that drafter’s use so that technical people can communicate.
Through drawings, ideas and designs are transferred between draftsmen,
architects and engineers. The uniformity of lines and symbols makes it
possible to be widely accepted, thus, making graphic technical drawing
understandable anywhere in the world.
In a fast-developing country like the Philippines, many investors

are coming in so they need technical people to supervise factories and
offices. New products are introduced, hence, there is a great demand for
designs. The production of goods always starts from a design. Ideas are
presented by pictorial sketches in the initial stages of creative work.
Detailing is done with lines to represent all the features of an object, such
as its edges, surfaces and contours. Lines also form the sizes,
dimensions, symbols and notes to complete a description.
To understand the fundamental principles of drawing, acquired

desirable values are necessary. A draftsman should possess the ability
and the skills in using different drawing instruments. In general, it helps
him construct output with accuracy and speed.
Below are signs and symbols used in Drawing:
ALPHABET OF LINES

MENSURATION
Every nation in the world has different ways of measuring

quality, weight and volume. This is necessary to carry out trade,
business or any form of economic exchange.
In 1960, countries from all over the world had started to use the
standard Metric System International d’ Unites or SI to promote
international trade. This is also called International Organization of
Weights and Measures. The basic units of SI are shown below.

LO 2. Interpret technical drawings and plans
Early Technical Drawing
Perhaps the earliest known technical drawing in existence is a plan view

of a fortress designed and engraved on a stone tablet by the Chaldean
engineer named Gudea. It is remarkable how similar this plan is to those
made by modern architects, although it was “drawn” thousands of years
before paper was invented.
Modern Technical Drawing

The first printed form of technical drawing was the Geometrical Drawing
published in 1849 by William Minifie. In 1876 the blueprint process was
introduced at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. Up to this time, the
graphic language is considered more or less an art. Some works were
characterized by fine line drawings which were made to resemble copper-
plate engraved while others, by the use of shade lines and water color
“washes.” These technique become unnecessary after the introduction of
blueprinting. This was the beginning of modern technical drawing. The
graphic language now became a relatively exact method of representation.
ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION
An orthographic projection is a representation of separate views of an

object on a two-dimensional surface. It reveals the width, depth and height
of an object.
The projection is achieved by viewing the object from a point assumed
to be at infinity (an indefinitely great distance away). The line of sight or
projectors are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the plane of
projection.
27
VISUALIZING ONE VIEW OF AN ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION
28
Three plane of projection
One can develop the skill in visualizing the views of an object by

imagining that the object is enclosed in a “glass box”. Each face of the
object is viewed perpendicularly to the projection plane. The views are
obtained by projecting the lines of sight to each plane of the glass box.
Since the glass box have six sides, six views of the object can be seen.
 Frontal Plane. The projection shown in the frontal plane is called

front view or front elevation.
 Horizontal Plane. The projection shown in this plane is called top
view or plan view.
 Profile Plane. A projection at this plane is called the side view or
end view, or side or end elevation.
THE GLASS BOX
REPRESENTING THE PLANES OF PROJECTION
29
SIX PRINCIPAL VIEWS OF AN OBJECT
As we unfold the glass box, six views of the object are revealed: top, front,
right-side, left-side, rear, and bottom view. We assumed that all of the pieces
of the glass box are hinged to the front plane except the rear plane being
hinged to the left-side plane, as shown in the illustration.
Unfolding the Glass Box in One Plane Show

The Six Principal Views of an Object
The object is to be presented in two or more separate views showing the

three space dimension, the width, height and depth of length. This drawing
will be the source of information on the true shape of the object on its top,
front and side view of the objects.
In this projection the position of the three main views will be in L shape.
The top and front view is vertically aligned together while the front view and
right side view are horizontally aligned.

First and Third Angle Projection.
When an object is viewed through a plane of projection from a

point of infinity, an accurate outline of the visible face of the object is
obtained. However, the projection of one face usually will not provide an
overall description of the object so other planes of projection must be
used. Establishing an object’s true height, width, and depth requires
front, top, and side views, which are called the Principal Planes Of
Projection. These include the Vertical, Horizontal, and Profile Planes,
previously explained in Technical Drawing I. The angles formed between
the horizontal and the vertical planes are called the FIRST, SECOND,
THIRD, and FOURTH ANGLES. Currently, for technical reasons, only
the use of first- and third-angle projection is practical to use.
In orthographic projection, drawings are referred to as “firstangle” or

“third-angle” projections. These two projections are derived from a
theoretical division of all space into four quadrants by a vertical plane
and a horizontal plane. The quadrants are numbered from 1 to 4,
starting from the upper front quadrants and continuing clockwise when
viewed from the right side. The viewer of the four quadrants is
considered to be in front of the vertical or frontal plane, and above the
horizontal plane.
VIEWS ARE PROJECTED FORWARD IN THIRD-ANGLE PROJECTION

The position of the profile plane is not affected by the quadrants. It is
considered to be either to the right or left of the object as desired.
33
Third-angle projection is used in the United States and Canada. Most
European countries use first-angle projection. The difference between the two
is how the object is projected and the position of the views on the drawing.
In third-angle projection, the projection plane is considered to be between the
viewer and the object, and the views are projected forward to that plane. The
top view appears above the front view, the right-side view is to the right of the
front view, the left view to the left of the front view, and so on.
VIEWS ARE PROJECTED BACKWARD IN FIRST-ANGLE PROJECTION
In first-angle projection, the projection plane is on the far side of the

object. The views of the object are projected to the rear and onto the
projection plane instead of being projected forward.
The individual views are the same as those obtained in the third-
angle projection.
Carefully study the symbols shown below. Normally a symbol is
drawn underneath that clearly shows which angle of projection
has been used.
34
SYMBOL FOR FIRST-ANGLE AND THIRD-ANGLE PROJECTION
The final arrangements of the views are shown in the drawing
below. Notice how the symbol for first angle orthographic projection
has been added to the drawing.

Perspective Drawing is the most natural presentation of an object as it

appear on the viewer’s eye.
Principles of Perspective Drawing.

1. All receding lines converge on a vanishing point.
2. The farther color, the lighter it appears.
3. The farther the object, lines, edges, the smaller they
appear.
4. The object can be viewed in either birds eye view, men’s
eye view and worms eye view.
Bird’sEyeView Man’s Eye View or Eye level

View Ant’sEyeViewor Worm’s Eye View
5. The vanishing point and station point must be vertically

aligned together.
6. The two vanishing point must be located in the horizon.
7. The farther station point from the top plan, the bigger
will the perspective become.
Two Techniques of Perspective Presentation

1. Artist Method
2. Mechanical Method
58
Types of Perspective Drawing
1. Parallel or One Point Perspective – its receding lines will converge
on a single vanishing point.
2. Angular or Two Point Perspective – its receding lines will converge
on two vanishing point.
3. Three Point Perspective – its receding lines converges on three
vanishing point.

Sectional View
Sectional view is a method of drawing presentation showing the
interior part part of the building especially when the inner parts are
complicated. The direction of the cutting plane line is the major
reference to consider in determining the form to be drawn. The parts
or portion of the object being imagined to be cut will be represented
by section lines.
Alphabet of lines needed in the construction of sectional views.

1. Visible-edge is a heavy line that can
be seen when viewing an object.
cut in the object.
83
LO 2.
3. Section line is a thin solid line at 450
representing solid parts of the object
that are being cut.
2. Cutting plane line is a thick short
dash line representing the imaginary
4. Short break line – thick solid lines

used for broken out section.
Principles of Sectioning
1. It shows the type of sectional view of the entire cut surface of the
view.
2. It shows more detailed illustrations particularly on the interval
parts of the object.
3. It describes the shape of the internal parts.
84
Types of Sectional Views
1. Full Section is obtained when the cutting-plane extends entirely
through the object in a straight line and the front half of the
object is totally.

5. Revolved Section is a type of section applied to a circular object.

The resulting view is similar to full section view.
6. Offset Section shows the zigzag direction of the cutting plane if

the principal interior features of an object are not located in a
straight line. It is necessary to offset the cutting-plane to allow to
pass through as many of the principal features of the object,
87
In order to include features that are not in a straight line, the cutting-plane may
be offset or bent, so as to include several planes or curved surfaces.

SECTION LINING
Section lining, sometimes referred to as cross-hatching, can serve a
double purpose. It indicates the surface that has been theoretically cut
and make it stand out clearly, thus helping the observer to understand
the shape of the object. Section lining may also indicate the material from
which the object is to be made.

Steps in Constructing Full Section:
1. Imagine the object is cut in a straight line along its full length
2. Imagine the half of the object nearest the viewer has been removed
then view the remaining half isometric.
3. The result is a full sectional view of the object that clearly describes
its interior feature.
93
94
Steps in Constructing Half-Section
1. Imagine the object is cut into a quarter or one fourth of its portion.
2. Since one fourth or a quarter of the object is taken away, then view
the part in pictorial form.

Detail Working Drawing is a technical drawing of a single part of a

machine or mechanism which is complete in dimension. It provides
sufficient technical foundation to allow the part to be made. This
98
drawing also show the details on how joints or fittings were executed
based on the drawings which were done in large scale.
Thing to be considered in making detailed drawings
• Identify the parts or joints to be drawn in detail.

• Encircle the parts to be drawn.
• Use leader line to pinpoint parts to be drawn in detail.
• Indicate notes that serve as reference of the part to be drawn in detail.
Purposes of a Detailed Drawing
1. It describes the shapes of the object drawn.

2. It indicates the dimensions of the object drawn.
3. It provides any additional information that is required to make the
object drawn. Such additional information is usually shown in the
form of one or more notes.
Characteristics of a Detailed Working Drawing:
1. A detailed drawing can be drawn on a separate sheet.

2. Detailed drawing can usually be found beneath the assembly drawing.
3. Detailed drawing should be drawn in larger scale to clearly show the
parts
4. Dimension in detailed drawing should be shown clearly.

WORKING DRAWING WITH BILL OF MATERIALS
Bill of materials is a list of items needed in the construction of a

piece of work or project. It includes the amount of each material in the
production of the structure.
The following steps in computing bill of materials.
1. Determine the measurement of the width, depth, length and

height of the project.
2. Total the length of all parts having the same sizes but differ in
length.
3. Convert the total length into foot/feet, by dividing the total
number of centimeter by 30.5
Example:
500 cm
30.5 = 16.39 ft.
4. Each piece of lumber should be converted to board foot / feet in

order to determine its price/amount.
Example:
2”x4”x16”
12 = 10.67 board feet (1piece only)
105
LO 2.
5. Number of board foot/feet should be multiplied by the unit price
per board foot in order to get the amount.
Example:
Unit price per board foot – P 40.00

P40.00 x 16.39 = P 655.60
6. For the other materials, know the unit price according to the
description of the item.
7. After computing the amount of various materials add them all to

determine the total amount .

Electronic and Electrical Symbols
We use graphic symbols on electrical and electronic diagrams to

show the components and workings in a circuit. Graphic symbols for
electrical engineering are shorthand way to show through drawings how
a circuit works or how the parts of the circuit are connected. A graphic
symbol shows what part it does in the circuit. Drafters use graphic
symbols on single-line (one-line) diagrams, on schematic diagrams, or
on connection or wiring diagrams. You can relate graphic symbols with
part lists, descriptions, or instructions by marking the symbols.
