Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to TLE-Carpentry 7/8 Exploratory Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM)

Module on Perform Mensuration and Calculation!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by

educators both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher
or facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12
Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic
constraints in schooling.

 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
understand The Preparation of Construction Materials and Tools. The scope of this
module permits it’s to be used in many different learning situations. The language
used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to
follow the standard sequence of the course.

The module is talking about this lesson:

Lesson 1 – Perform Mensuration and Calculation

At the end of the module, you should be able to:

1. Describe tools and materials used in carpentry.
2. Identify types of measuring tools.
3. Value the importance of tools and material.

 Lesson
Perform Mensuration and
1 Calculation

In the broadest sense, mensuration is all about the process of

measurement. Mensuration is based on the use of algebraic equations and
geometric calculations to provide measurement data regarding the width, depth and
volume of a given object or group of objects.

What’s In

Directions: Refer to your previous lesson. Copy the table on a separate sheet of
paper. Choose YES if the statement is to be followed and NO if the statement is not
to be followed.

INDICATORS YES NO
1. Utilized the Preventive Maintenance Schedule.
2. Never determine the types of tools and machine needed to be
lubricated
3.Don’t fill out the requisition slip form in releasing the lubricants
needed.
4. Don’t secure the borrower’s slip from your teacher.
5. Fill out the slip form correctly intended for the needed tools.
6. Perform the task according to the prescribed schedule and the
assigned machine.
7. Perform the lubricating procedures.
8. Determine the parts of the machine needed to be lubricated.
9. Apply the thin coat of oil on the parts that are used for a long period
of time.
10. Don’t the grease on sealed bearing with the use of a grease gun.

 HANDLING OF MEASURING INSTRUMENTS / TOOLS

A. DO’S

1. Wipe measuring tools/instruments before returning them to the storage

room.
2. Oil the movable parts of the measuring tools such as zigzag rules, calipers,
dividers and compasses to avoid stock-up.
3. Make sure that grits like sand do not get inside the housing or case of a pull-
push rule to avoid wearing off of the graduations.
4. Check the lock of a pull-push rule if it is working.

B. DON’T’S

1. Do not wipe off edges of the steel tape of pull-push rule with bare hands to
avoid injury.
2. Do not pull the steel tape of pull-push rule too much to avoid the coil spring
from damage.
3. Do not use the caliper as tongs.

LINEAR MEASUREMENTS FOR THE 6 FACES OF LUMBER

Hence, the linear measurements obtained are:

1. End 1 to end 2 or A B = Length (L )

2. Edge 1 to Edge 2 or C D = Width ( W )
3. Surface 1 to surface 2 or E F = Thickness / Height ( T / H )
