Learning Outcomes:

1. Identify the different types and uses of measuring

tools.
2. Demonstrate how to handle the measuring or tools.
3. Value the importance of knowing the different types
and uses of measuring tools.
 Selection of Measuring Instruments

1. Size and types of parts to be measured- it is in consideration

to the sizes, types and shapes of objects to the measuring
instrument.

2. Environment- This must be considered for temperature,

humidity and pressure of an object to be measured.
 Selection of Measuring Instruments
3. Skilled Operator- Users of the tool must be identified
beforehand to consider his or her knowledge and skill in using
measuring tools.

4. Cost of equipment – choose a measuring tool that is

affordable but will not sacrifice the quality and accuracy of
measurement?
MEASURING
TOOLS
PUSH PULL RULE - is a measuring tape that coils into a
compact case. It is used for measuring long , short straight
length.
ZIG ZAG RULE – a folded measuring tool. A rule composed
of light strips of wood joined by rivets so as to be foldable, all
the opening and closing parts being parallel
RULER- is the most popular types of measuring tool. It is
usually 6 or 12 inches in length and needed for measuring
sizes and distances.
CALIPER – Its device used to measure the distance between
two opposite sides of an object.
METER STICK – is a long, straight tool used to measure
length or distances. It is usually one meter long and has
markings on it that show centimeters and millimeters.
COMPASS- is a tool that helps you make accurate
circles and arc. It has two arms: one holds the pencil
and the other acts as pivot point.
PROTACTOR- A measuring instrument typically made of
transparent plastic or glass used for measuring angles. Most
protractors measure angles in degrees, divided into 180 equal
parts.
MEASURING TAPE – is a flexible used to measure length or
distance.
 Proper Handling of Measuring Instruments

1. Regularly clean and wipe not only the measuring

tools but also is storage.

2. Lubricate measuring tools that have movable

parts to prevent it from stocking up.
 Proper Handling of Measuring Instruments
3. Avoid rough particles around measuring tools because
they can erase graduations on the measuring tool
through friction.

4. Regularly check the functionality of measuring tools

and its parts. This must be done in schedule and not just
before you use the tool.
Wood is one of the basic materials used to produce carpentry products,
hence identifying its faces is vital to measure its size accurately. One
known kind of this is the Lumber which is defined as any wooden
materials sawed or split into board timber.

Lumber as defined as a swan timber. It has six (6) faces .

Measurements that can be

obtained from this is: Edge 1
to Edge2 = Width (W)
Measurement that can be
obtained from this is: End
1 to End 2 = Length (L)
Measurement that can be
obtained from this is: Face
1 and Face 2= Thickness
