Kinds of Measurement

Topic 1. METRIC SYSTEM
Metric System, a decimal system of physical units based on a unit of
length known as the meter (Greek metron, ―measure‖). Introduced and adopted
by law in France in the 1790s, a majority of countries subsequently adopted
the metric system as a common system of weights and measures. Scientists in
all countries use the metric system in their work.
USING METRIC SYSTEM
The metric system is known for its simplicity. All units of measurement
in the metric system are based on decimals—that is, units that increase or
decrease by multiples of ten. A series of Greek decimal prefixes is used to
express units of ten or greater; a similar series of Latin decimal prefixes is used
to express fractions. For example, deca equals ten, hecto equals one hundred,
kilo equals one thousand, mega equals one million, giga equals one billion, and
tera equals one trillion. For units below one, deci equals one-tenth, centi-
equals one-hundredth, milli equals one-thousandth, micro equals one
millionth, nano equals one-billionth, and pico equals one-trillionth. For
conversion of metric system units to English-system units, see Weights and
Measures.
The simplicity of the metric system is evident in how easily one unit of
measure can be changed into another. To change units in the metric system,
simply move the decimal point to the right or the left, depending on whether
the unit of measurement is increasing or decreasing by ten or one hundred and
so on. For example, 1,672,928 millimeters equals 167,292.8 centimeters,
which equals 1,672.928 meters, which equals 1.672928 kilometers. Compare
the ease of this conversion with English units by trying to convert 1,672,928
inches into feet, rods, furlongs, and miles.
LENGTH
People who were taught the English system of measurements in schools
in the United States often have difficulty visualizing metric units. One way to
visualize a meter is to think of the distance from the Downloaded from
shsph.blogspot.com floor to the top of a doorknob, or the distance from the
edge of an adult’s shoulder to the end of the opposite outstretched arm.
Smaller things are measured in centimeters and millimeters. A millimeter is
quite small, about the thickness of a dime. A centimeter is ten times bigger,
about the height of a stack of ten dimes.
Millimeters are primarily used to measure very small items such as
letters in a book, while centimeters are used to measure items ranging from the
size of a book to the height of a person. Thereafter meters are used until one
reaches distances about the length of five city blocks when kilometers are

5
used. One kilometer is the approximate distance that an adult can walk in 12
minutes in a straight line and on a level road. Kilometers are used to measure
long distances within cities or between cities.
10mm= 1centimeter (cm)
10cm= 1 decimeter (dm)
10dm=1meter (m)
1000m= 1kilometer (km)
VOLUME
Small volumes, such as the contents of a drinking glass, are measured in cubic
centimeters, and large volumes, such as the contents of industrial fuel tanks,
are measured in liters. A liter is 1,000 cubic centimeters—also known as 1,000
milliliters. A normalized drinking glass contains about 300 milliliters. The size
of a liter is increasingly well known in the United States because of the many
one-liter beverage bottles found in grocery stores or supermarkets. Very large
volumes are measured in cubic meters. Freight containers used in the shipping
industry, including railroad, truck, and ocean shipping, have a capacity of
about 70 cubic meters.
1 kiloliter (kL)=1000 liters=100,000 centiliters (cL)
1000 cc=1000 milliliters (mL)
WEIGHT
The basic unit of weight in the metric system is called a gram, and it is
equal to the weight of one cubic centimeter of water. This is a very small
amount, but it is easy to comprehend. Just pick up a U.S. dollar bill (or any
bank note), and its weight is one gram. Because the gram is too light to be a
convenient standard of weight, a larger unit has been chosen. This unit is
1,000 grams. Following the regular pattern of metric naming, it is called one
kilogram. One thousand grams of Downloaded from shsph.blogspot.com water
occupy a volume of 1,000 cubic centimeters or one liter. So a person need only
pick up a plastic one-liter bottle of water to understand how heavy a kilogram
is. Very heavy objects are weighed in tons of 1,000 kilograms each. One
thousand kilograms is equal to one metric ton and is not the same as the usual
American ton of 907.2 kg.
Many other metric units exist, such as those for measuring area,
pressure, and energy. However, these units are rarely encountered in everyday
use.
1kilogram (kg)=1000g=100,000 centigrams (cg)

Topic 2. UNITED STATES CUSTOMARY (USC)
In the United States, we have grown up with the United States
Customary (USC) System. It uses inches, feet, miles, pints, quarts, and gallons.
USING THE USC SYSTEM When making small measurements in the USC
System, you deal with small fractions of an inch. For example, ¼, 1/8, 1/16,
1/32 and 1/64. Sometimes these may not be small enough. Many automotive
measurements are in thousandths and sometimes ten-thousandths of an inch.
For example, 1/64 inch is 0.0156 inch. A bearing clearance may be 0.002 inch
(two thousandths of an inch).
LENGTH
12 inches= 1 foot
3ft= 1 yard or 36 inches
1760 yards= 1 mile, or 5280 feet, or 63,360 inches
VOLUME:
16 fluid ounces (fl oz)= 1 pint(pt)
2 pints= 1 quart (qt)
4 quartz= 1 gallon (gal
WEIGHT
16 ounces (oz)= 1 found (lb)
2000 pounds= 1 ton

MANUAL SPECIFICATION
TOPIC 1 Objectives/Purpose (optional):
1. IMPORTANCE OF MANUAL SPECIFICATION
The manual describes the types of service information use by
mechanics. This information sheet explains how to use several types of
sources to locate service information, it begins by showing you how to
identify what vehicle you are working on. This manual helps you
understand the methods of operation and the maintenance and repair
procedures that apply specifically to the vehicle.

2. TYPES OF MANUALS
1. Owner’s manual-
This manual supplies all the necessary routine information
about operating and servicing your vehicle among other things,
it explains the proper way to start the engine and change flat
tire; how to operate the air conditioning and radio and when to
lubricate and change the engine oil. This manual also provides
minor trouble shooting and lists such vital statistics as the
capacity of the gas tank and types of fuses require for the
electrical systems.
2. Service Manual –
The size and thickness of a major metropolitan telephone
book, the service manual for your vehicle is packed with
technical information that will fascinate anyone with a
mechanical flair. It lists every conceivable detail of maintenance
and repair from the smallest engine part to the exact torque
needed to tighten every nut and bolt. It describes the parts and
the operation of all the vital components and explains complex
procedures.
Types of Service Manuals

11
 There are various type of service manuals, such as
manufacturer’s manuals. It is important for you to understand
their differences.
a. Manufacturer’s Manual- are published by the various
auto makers. Also called factory manuals each covers vehicles
produced by that company, usually for a one-year period.
b. Specialized Service Manual- cover only specified repair
areas. They usually come in several volumes, each covering one
section of the vehicle. One may cover engines, another body
component, or electrical systems. Specialized manuals are
published by auto maker and also after market companies.
c. General Repair Manuals- are sold by companies other
than the major auto makers. These volumes are like
manufacturer’s manuals but are not as detailed.

This format provides the experienced technician with a FAST TRACK to

the information needed. The upper-case task heading can be read at a glance
when necessary, and the text below it provides detailed information. Important
specifications and warnings always stand out I bold type
References
References have been kept to a minimum. However, when they are
required you are given the page to refer to.
Specifications

Specifications presented I bold type throughout the text where needed. You
never have to leave the procedure to look up your specifications. They are also
found at the end of each section for quick reference.
Cautions, Notices, Hints:
 CAUTIONS are presented in bold type and indicate there is a possibility
of injury to you or other people.
 NOTICES are also presented in bold type and indicates the possibility
of damage to the components being repaired.
 HINTS are separated from the text but do not appear in bold. They
provide additional information to help efficiency perform the repair.
SI Unit
The unit given in this manual are primarily expressed with the SI UNIT
(International System of Unit), and alternately expressed in the metric system
and in the yard/pound system.
