TECHNICAL TERM
fire Point is the temperature at which oil will burn if ignited.
Flash Point is the temperature at which oil gives off ignitable vapors. The flash
point is not necessarily a safe upper limit for oil because some decomposition
takes place below the flash point.
Hirano refers to the terms Organization, Orderliness, Cleanliness,

Standardized Cleanup, and Discipline
Lubrication Additives is defined as many of the physical properties of various

oils and greases.
Pour Point is the lowest temperature at which oil will pour or flow and is
most critical in low temperature applications.
Sorting means to sort through everything in each work area
Viscosity Index indicates how viscosity varies with temperature, which can
be an important consideration in applications where operating temperatures
very widely.
Viscosity is a measure of “flow ability.” It is the resistance to flow, caused by

internal friction between the lubricant molecules.

INFORMATION SHEET 4.1-1
TYPES OF ELECTRICAL MEASURING INSTRUMENTS
Learning objective: After reading this information sheet, you must be able to
identify the different types of measuring instrument.
There are types of measuring tool which are commonly used to perform
electrical work. There are two ways on how tools can be utilized. Tools like vernier
caliper, metric rule, steel rules are tools used to perform layout and installation of
a particular wiring materials. The tools like multi meter, clamp meter, electric
meter are common examples of tools used for measuring electrical magnitude like
the voltage current resistance or even the power consumption of particular
electrical appliances.
Multimeters are very useful test instruments. By operating a multi-position

switch on the meter they can be quickly and easily set to be a voltmeter, an
ammeter or an ohmmeter. They have several settings called “ranges” for each type
of meter and the choice of AC or DC. Some multimeters have additional features
such as transistor testing and ranges for measuring capacity and frequency.
Choosing a multi-meter
The photographs below show modestly priced multi-meters which are suitable
for general electronics use. A digital multimeter is the best choice for your first
multimeter.Even the cheapest will be suitable for testing simple projects.
If you are buying an analog multimeter make sure it has a high sensitivity of
20k /V or greater on DC voltage ranges. Anything less is not suitable for
electronics. The sensitivity is normally marked in a corner of the scale, ignore the
lower AC value (sensitivity on AC ranges is less important), the higher DC value is
the critical one. Beware of cheap analogue multimeters sold for electrical work on
cars because their sensitivity is likely to be too low.
Analog Digital
Clamp meter is another type of measuring instrument which is specialized to

measure the value of electric current indirectly in an electrical circuit. This can
TESDA- Performing
ISAT
Mensuration and
QA
also be a voltmeter, andan ohmmeter. They have several settings called “ranges”
for each type of meter and the choice of AC or DC. It is also available either in
digital type or analog type. (See picture at next page)
Digital multi meter
Electric meter is an electrical device used to record the amount of electrical

energy consumed by an appliance or electrical system in a particular period of time
Insulation tester (megger)is an electrical measuring instrument intended to

measure the insulation resistance of electrical conductor.It is particularly used to
detect the condition of the coil of an electric motor. Below are pictures of a digital
and analogue type insulation tester.
The steel rule is considered to be the most convenient size to carry around.
Many steel rules have a "hook" feature that provides an accurate "stop" at the end
TESDA- Performing
ISAT
Mensuration and
QA
of the rule. This can be used to set calipers, dividers, etc. and to take
measurements where it is not possible to make sure that the end of the rule is even
with the edge of the work. Some workers refer steel rules as "machinists scales."
Metric rule is a tool used measure short and long distances. It is very important
when performing a layout and installation of electrical wiring fixture.
Caliper rule can be either vernier or micro meter. These tools are commonly
used to measure the diameter of a wires or thickness of steel plates . It can also be
used to measure the inner distance of a hole.

INFORMATION SHEET 2.1
SYSTEM OF MEASUREMENT
Learning objective: After reading this information sheet, you must be able
to understand the system of measurement in EIM NC-2.
A system of measurement is a set of units which can be used to specify anything

can be measured.
These are common units of measurement used in making layout and

installation of electrical materials.
Linear measures
1. English system:
The English system of measurement provides the creative way on how people
can measure by themselves. For example, people measure shorter distance on
the ground with their feet. They measure long distances by their palms which
is equal to a yard.
 Inch
 Yard
 Miles
2. Metric system is a decimalized system of measurement. It exists in several

variations with different choices of base units. Metric units are widely used
around the world for personal, commercial and scientific purpose.
 Millimeter
 Centimeter
 Decimeter
 Meter
English units and each equivalent
 12 inches = foot(ft)
 1 foot = 3yard (yd)
 1 yard = 36 inches
Metric units and each equivalent
 10millimeter (mm) = 1centimeter (cm)

 10centimeter = 1decimeter(dm)
TESDA- Performing
ISAT
Mensuration and
QA
 10 decimeter = 1meter
English to metric equivalent
 1 inch = 2.54 cm
 1 foot = 30.48 cm
 1 yard = 91.44 cm
The centimeter graduation
.5mm 1mm 10mm or 1cm
The graduation shows that every digit is .5mm
How to read the cm graduation:

 First graduation is .5 mm
 Second graduation is 1mm
 Third graduation is 1.5mm
 Fourth graduation is 2mm
If the graduation reaches 10mm, it is equivalent to 1cm.
The inch graduation

How to read the inch graduation:

 First graduation is 1/16
 Second graduation is 18
 Third graduation is 3/16
 Fourth graduation is 1/4, then follow the given scale above.
The inch graduation in a steel rule:
Converting the unit of measurement from English to metric and vice versa
Example:
1. 24 inches = ________ cm Cancel the common unit and apply cross
Since multiplication.
24 inches = 2.54 cm
1 inch
24 x 2.54 cm Perform the indicated operation.

MULTITESTER
Learning objective: After reading this information sheet, you must be able to
familiarize the parts and uses of multitester.
The Multitester or multimeter is sometimes called the VOM (voltmeter,

ohmmeter,
milliammeter). It is the best
instrument that can measure
voltage, resistance and current. It
is generally made of two types: the
analog and the digital.

Function of each parts of a multitester
Meter scale is used to identify the amount of voltage current and resistance of
the circuit being measured.
Pointer is a movable part of the multi-tester which deflects and indicates the
reading.

TESDA- Performing

Pointer
Infinite position adjusting screw is used to adjust the pointer to zero before
testing is performed in order to gain an accurate measurement.
Range Selector switch is composed of several setting for voltage, current and
resistance which is used to indicate the kind of range( voltage, current and
resistance)to be measured.
Test probe positive (red), negative (black) is used to connect the circuit to the
electrical components being tested.
Proper care and maintenance of the multi tester
 Read manual of instructions on how to operate the multi tester.

 In reading the amount of voltage, always start with the highest range to avoid
reading voltage higher than the tester setting.
 Be sure that the tester is set to the correct range setting: resistance range
when measuring the ohm, voltage range when measuring voltage and
ammeter range when measuring the value of electric current.
 Always check the condition of its battery. Worn out batteries will damage the
internal setting of the tester.
 When the tester is not in used or will be stored, set the selector switch to
1000V or to OFF position.
 Never drop the tester.
