Introductory Message

For the learner:

Welcome to the Technology and Livelihood Education 7 Alternative

Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Analyze Signs, Symbols and Data.

This module contains information and suggested learning activities on

analysing signs, symbols, and data. It includes understanding of the concepts
and underlying principles in analysing signs, symbols, and data. Completion
of this module will help you better in determining appropriate welding
materials based on technical drawings. And also, this module was designed to
provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for guided and independent
learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to process the
contents of the learning resource while being an active learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

What I Need to This will give you an idea of the skills or
Know competencies you are expected to learn
in the module.

What I Know This part includes an activity that aims to

check what you already know about the
lesson to take. If you get all the answers
correct (100%), you may decide to skip

introduced to you in various ways such as
a story, a song, a poem, a problem
opener, an activity or a situation.

What is It This section provides a brief discussion of

the lesson. This aims to help you discover
and understand new concepts and skills.
 What’s More This comprises activities for independent
practice to solidify your understanding
and skills of the topic. You may check the
answers to the exercises using the
Answer Key at the end of the module.

 What I need to know?

This module was designed the learner to demonstrates an

understanding of the concepts and underlying principles in analysing signs,
symbols, and data in SMAW. And also, in this lesson the learner
independently determine the appropriate welding materials.

After going through this module, you will be able to analyze signs, symbols
and data specifically:

1. Determine standard alphabet of lines;

2. Draw a plan using different types of alphabet lines.

What I know

Let us determine how much you already know about identifying

standard alphabets of lines, and interpret standard drawing symbols.
Take this Pre-Test.

Direction: Read and analyze each statement carefully. Choose the best
answer and write the letter only in your SMAW activity notebook.

1. Which thick solid line used to show the visible shape of the object?
a) Center line d) Object line
b) Extension line e) Short break line
c) Hidden line

2. What type of alphabetical line is a heavy irregular line drawn freehand that
is used to show a short break to conserve space on a drawing?

a) Center line d) Object line

b) Extension line e) Short break line
c) Hidden line

1
3. Which broken line is made up of a series of short and long clashes or
alternately spaced, to show the center of circles, arcs, and symmetrical
objects?
a) Center line d) Object line
b) Extension line e) Short break line
c) Hidden line

4. What type of broken line with medium thickness is used to show the edges
and outline not visible to the eye?
a) Center line d) Object line
b) Extension line e) Short break line
c) Hidden line

5. Which fine lines extend from the object with a slight break between and is
used to show dimensioning points.
a) Center line d) Object line
b) Extension line e) Short break line
c) Hidden line

What’s in?

Directions: Identify the following hazards symbols given below as to

Regulatory signs, Prohibition signs, Warning Signs, Danger
Signs, Fire Signs or Emergency Information Signs. Write your
answer in the SMAW activity notebook.

What is it?

Alphabet of Lines

Lines are the bases of all drawing. They are used even from simple drawings
to the difficult ones. There are several different types of lines used on a print
and each has different meaning. To be able to interpret a print, the reader
should have knowledge of these lines. These lines are called alphabet of
lines.

 Types of Alphabet Line Description

Thick solid line used to show the visible

shape of the object.
Object Line

Broken line of medium thickness and

------------------- used to show the edges and outlines not

Hidden Line visible to the eye.

__ _____ __ _____ __ ___ Fine, broken line made up of a series of

short and long dashes alternately
spaced.
Center Line

Fine lines that extend from the object with

a slight break between and it is used to
show dimensioning points.

Extension Line
Lines used to indicate the measurement

2.00 of objects. The number or figure is

usually positioned at the middle of the

Dimension Line fine line and its axis is perpendicular to it.

Fine, straight line with an arrowhead or

round solid dot at one end and usually
drawn at an angle.
Leader Line
A thick broken line made up of a series of
Alternate one long and two short dashes
alternately spaced. The arrowheads are
placed at right angles to the cutting plane
Preferred line. These lines are oriented vertically,
horizontally, or at the actual angle at

Cutting Plane Line which the part is drawn.

 Series of fine lines-solid or solid and
broken-arranged in specific patterns.
They may be shown either straight or

Section Lines curved. To represent various kinds of

materials.
Heavy, broken line made up of a series of
long and short dashes alternately
spaced. It is used to indicate the location
Chain Line and extent of a surface.

Heavy, irregular line drawn freehand

used to show a short break to conserve
space on a drawing.
Short Break Line

Ruled, light line with freehand zigzags

used to show a long break to conserve
Long Break Line space on a drawing.

Light, broken line made up of a series of

long and two short dashes used to show
alternate positions of a part; to show
relationship of existing part to new part;
Phantom Line and to show machined surfaces.
