SELECTING TOOLS AND INSTRUMENTS
FOR MEASURING STANDARDS
• Measuring tools are selected/identified as per object to be measured or job
requirements.
• Correct specifications are obtained from relevant sources
• Measuring instruments are selected according to job requirements
• Alternative measuring tools are used without sacrificing cost and quality of
work.
• Measurements are obtained according to job requirements

SYSTEMS OF MEASUREMENTS
ENGLISH SYSTEM & SYSTÉME INTERNATIONAL (S.I.)
The two (2) systems of measurements are: the English and the Metric System.
English system originated in England also known as the U.S. customary system of
measurement while the Metric System was developed in France and also known
as the S.I. (International Standard)
LINEAR MEASUREMENT

ENGLISH METRIC

Yard (yd) Meter (mts)

Foot (ft) or (‘) Decimeter (1/10 mts)

Inch (in) or (“) Centimeter (1/100 mts)

Millimeter (1/1000 mts)


CARRY OUT MEASUREMENT AND
CALCULATIONS
Materials / Resources you will need in carrying-out measurement and calculations:
• Actual Objects to be measured
• Measuring Tools
• Record Book
• Pencil
READING OF MEASUREMENTS:
READING THE “INCH”
• The inch is divided into segments called “graduations”. Each graduation represents a
measurement in form of a proper fraction. The inch can be divided into 16, 8, 4, and 2, equal
parts.

READING OF MEASUREMENTS:
READING THE “CENTIMETER”

EXERCISE:
CONVERTING FRACTION TO DECIMAL
•  In converting fractions to decimals, divide the numerator by its denominator whether it is
proper, improper or mixed fraction.
• CONVERT THE FOLLOWING:
