Introductory Message!

Welcome to TLE 7/8 - IA (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) !

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Bago City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas
through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TLE 7/8 - IA (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) Activity Sheet will help you
facilitate the teaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning
Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and the
learner. This will be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease
the independent learning.

For the learner:

The TLE 7/8 - IA (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) Activity Sheet is developed
to help you continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning material
provides you with meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being
an active learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the
activities and answer the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the
agreed schedule.

Analyzing Signs, Symbols and Data

I. Learning Competency with code:

LO 1. Analyze signs, symbols and data.
1.1 Determine appropriate welding materials based on technical
drawings.
TLE_IAAW7/8ID-Oi-j-1

II. Background Information for Learners

In this activity, students will have to analyze different signs that they see
in their everyday lives and eventually come up with realization that signs and
symbols are very common part in real life, thus it is important to understand
the meaning behind them.

Read and understand the key concepts presented below on the aftercare
activities for tools, equipment and paraphernalia:

IDENTIFY ALPHABET OF LINES

One of the most remarkable achievements in the evolution of humankind

is how we exert effort to communicate through symbols. Language, images
and gestures were used to convey messages that must be learned and
interpreted by others.

A symbol is something that represents or stands for something else. The

term symbol originates from the Greek word “ symbolon” meaning token or
sign.

Both signs and symbols are graphic representation but people often use
them interchangeably. The main difference between the two is that - sign is a
language on its own and it is used to communicate something to people.

In the past, people used signs and symbols to interpret things happening
around them. Discoveries were made and a lot of advancements took place
in time. Technology and industrialization made use of sign and symbol
 analysis to complete a specific task or job. All draftsman, engineer, welder,
technicians, were encourage to read and learn to interpret standards

drawings accurately to avoid errors in the use, repair, installation and

maintenance of welding tools and equipment.

Alphabet of Lines

Lines are the bases of all drawings. They are used even from simple
drawings to the difficult ones. Practice, exercise and correct use of
techniques in the making of lines will give student experience in
technical sketching. Moreover, constant practice will help students
develop skills in making lines and use of pencils. It should be
remembered that the basic requirement for line construction is clarity of
line produced.

In practice, the kind of line produced, depends on the hardness of

the pencil. For drawing using pencil, the medium and light lines are more
prepared.

There are conventional lines used in drawing. These lines are

called alphabet of line and each line serves a particular purpose. These
lines may either be drawn freehand or they may be drawn mechanically.
There are several 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.
1. Object Line. Thick solid line used to show the
visible shape of the object.

2. Hidden Line. Broken line of medium thickness and

used to show the edges and outlines not visible to the --------------------
eye.

3. Center Line. Fine, broken line made up of series of

short and long dashes alternately spaced. To show the _____ ________ ____
center of circles, arcs, and symmetrical objects and to
aid in dimensioning the parts of the object.

4. Extension Line. Fine lines that extend from the

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

5. Dimension Line. Lines used to indicate the

measurement of objects. It consists of three parts:
arrowheads, fine line, and number or measurement.
The fine lines have the same thickness or weight as
the projection line. The arrowheads are short heavy
strokes (called flares) placed at the extremities of this
fine line. The shape of an arrowhead is like the point
of an ordinary pen. The number or figure is usually
positioned in the middle of the fine line and its axis is
perpendicular to it.

6.Leader Line. Fine, straight line with an arrowhead

or round solid dot at one end and usually drawn at an
angle. Points directly to a surface for the purpose of
dimensioning or adding a note. A dot may be used at
the end of the straight line where reference
is made to a surface area.

7.Cutting Plane Line. A thick broken line made up

of a series of one long and two short dashes
alternately spaced. The arrowheads are placed at right
angles to the cutting plane line. The purpose of this
line is to indicate where an imaginary cut is made
through the object.
 8.Section Lines. Series of fine lines-solid or solid and
broken-arranged in specific patterns. They may be
shown either straight or curved. When shown straight,
they are usually drawn at a 450 angle. It is used to
indicate the imaginary cut surface referred to by the
cutting plane line to represent various kinds of
materials.

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

10.Short Break Line. Heavy, irregular line drawn

freehand, used to show a short break to conserve
space on a drawing.

11.Long Break Line. Ruled, light line with freehand

zigzags, used to show a long break to conserve
space on a drawing.

12. Phantom Line. 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; and to show machined
surfaces.
