ELECTRICITY
Terminologies:
1. Electric charge
- A property of some subatomic particles, which determines their electromagnetic interactions. Electrically
charged matter is influenced by, and produces, electromagnetic fields.
2. Electric current
- A movement or flow of electrically charged particles, typically measured in amperes.
- Describes a flow of electric charge. Electric current is either Direct Current (DC) a single-direction flow, or
Alternating Current (AC) which describes a current that repeatedly changes direction.
3. Electric field
- An influence produced by an electric charge on other charges in its vicinity.
4. Electrical energy
- Is a form of energy present in an electric field or magnetic field, electrical energy is measured in joules?
- It can be converted to work though the use of an electrical device or machine such as electric motor.
5. Electric potential
- The capacity of an electric field to do work, typically measured in volts.
6. Electromagnetism
- A fundamental interaction between the magnetic field and the presence and motion of an electric charge.
7. Electric power
- Is the name given to electrical energy production and distribution.
SOURCES OF ELECTRICITY
1. Biomass Energy
- Biomass describes all solid material of animal or vegetable origin from which energy may be extracted it
also called solid biomass.
- Plant products (such as corn husks, branches, or peanut shells), waste paper, and cow dung are
examples of biomass fuels.
- Biomass can be heated, burned, fermented, or treated chemically to release energy.
- Biomass is produced by photosynthesis; basic research in photosynthesis may provide systems that
directly convert sunlight into fuels.
- Biomass can also be used a fuel for space heating and factory processing, and to produce liquid
transportation fuel such as ethanol.
Advantages of Biomass Energy
3. Hydropower
- The term hydro comes from an ancient Greek word for water
- The force of moving water from rivers or storage reservoirs
- The process starts with the annual hydrologic, or water cycle, providing seasonal rain and runoff from
snow pack. The runoff from rain and snow collects in lakes, streams and rivers and flows to dams
downstream. The water funnels through a dam, into a powerhouse and turns a large wheel called a
turbine. The turbine turns a shaft that rotates a series of magnets past copper coils in a generator to
create electricity. The water then returns to the river. From the powerhouse, transmission lines carry
electricity to communities.
There are two kinds of marine currents: two-way (tidal) currents, and one-way currents.
1. Two-way currents are the ocean tides, caused by gravitational pull of the moon and sun. Each heavenly
body pulls on the part of the ocean nearest to it, causing bulges in water height. As the earth rotates,
those bulges move in relation to the world‘s coastlines, pulling water onto and away from the shore. So
the turning of the earth causes a moving pattern in the ocean: at every coast in turn, the level rises and
falls, resulting in two high tides and two low tides daily.
2. One-way currents are like massive ―rivers‖ of ocean water flowing within the ocean for hundreds —
sometimes thousands — of miles.
5. Solar Energy
- Solar Energy, provided by the sun is the most inexhaustible and cleanest source of energy known. Its
heat and light arrive week in and week out - free. But not in uniform amounts each day, or in concentrated
form, and not at all at night. Consequently, the barriers to greater use of solar energy by a world faced
with dwindling energy resources are significant: mainly, diffusion and the inability economically to store
solar energy, use it directly, or convert it to electricity.
6. Wind Power
- Wind power is a renewable resource. Wind is a form of solar energy.
- The basic machinery that converts wind power to electricity is called a wind turbine. The force of the wind
spins blades attached to a hub that turns as the blades turn. Together, the blades and hub are called the
rotor. The turning rotor spins a generator, producing electricity.
- Mankind has been making use of wind power for centuries. One of the first known uses was to propel
sailing ships. This was followed, centuries later, by the development of windmills.
- An electric charge would for instance move forward, then backward, then forward, then backward, over and over
again.
- Voltage or current that changes polarity or direction, respectively, over time.
- The back-and-forth motion occurs between 50 and 60 times per second, depending on the electrical system of
the country.
- This is called the frequency and is designated as either 50 Hertz (50Hz) or 60 Hertz (60Hz).
Direct Current (DC)
- The movement (or flow) of electric charge is only in one direction.
- The voltage or current that maintains constant polarity or direction, respectively, over time.
Source of Direct Current
Chemical battery
- Electronic power supply
- Mechanical Generator
KINDS OF ELECTRICITY
Static electricity
Electricity at rest
- The attraction between positive and negative charge particles.
- It refers to the buildup of electric charge on the surface of objects.
- The static charges remain on an object until they either bleed off to ground or are quickly neutralized by a
discharge.
- It is notable as a physical phenomenon that can be demonstrated using simple experiments that can convey
genuine understanding of the physics involved.
- Electricity produced by friction
- An electrical charge that builds up due to friction between two dissimilar materials. Friction removes some
electrons from one object and deposits them on the other.
- The buildup or imbalance of the same charges. Static electricity is at rest until discharged.
- The electricity associated with electric charges, which tends to stay ‗static‘ rather than flowing away
- Movement of charges from one object to another without further movement
- An electrical charge frequently found in paper which is too dry or which has been affected by local atmospheric
conditions.
- It refers to the net presence (or 'imbalance') of charge on a body, usually caused when dissimilar materials are
rubbed together, transferring charge from one to the other.
Dynamic Electricity
- A flow of electric charge
- Also known as electric current
- Electricity in motion
- The movement of positive and negative charge particles.
- A flow of electric charge constitutes an electric current.
- the direction of current was described in terms of the motion of imaginary positive charges

Series and Parallel Circuit
A complete circuit consists of a device or board, a path for the current flow, a method of control and a source of
electrical energy.
Schematic diagram
Load – are electrical device like lighting fixture and appliances that consumes electrical energy.
Path – are wire use as conductor of electricity which provides passage for electric current from the source and back.
Control – is an electrical device that control or turns the circuit on and off conveniently.
Source – are electrical energy coming from either alternating current or direct current that provides electrical power to the
circuit.
- Ohm‘s Law discovered by the German physicist Georg Ohm, (1787 - 1854).
- It deals with the relationship between voltage and current in an ideal conductor.
- It states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference
or voltage across the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance between them.
- Material that obeys Ohm's Law is called "ohmic" or "linear" because the potential difference across it varies
linearly with the current

For the circuit shown below find the Voltage V, the Current I, the resistance R and the Power P.
Answer:
Voltage V=IxR
= 2 x 12Ω = 24V
Current I=V÷R
= 24 ÷ 12Ω = 2A
Resistance R=V÷I
= 24 ÷ 2 = 12 Ω
Power P = V x I
= 24 x 2 = 48W
a. Before beginning any electrical repair, shut off the power. Remove the fuse or trip the breaker for the circuit you
will be working on in your service panel. Use a neon tester to be sure the power is off. If there is any doubt, you
can remove the main fuse or trip the main breaker. Remember: Removing the main fuse or tripping the main
breaker will usually shut off the power to the entire house.
b. Electrical wires are color coded to prevent wiring errors.
c. White wires almost always connect to other white wires or to chrome terminal screws on switches and
receptacles.
d. Some wiring devices–such as receptacles–are back-wired by pushing the bare wire end into spring grip holes.
These wiring devices are plainly labeled to show which color goes into each spring grip hole.
e. Switches are nearly always connected into black wires in cables. The only exception is where a cable is
extended, making it necessary for the white wire to play the role of the black wire. When this is necessary, the
white wires should be painted black to prevent future wiring errors.
f. Study the wiring diagram. This will help you understand the basic principles of good wiring. Also, find a good
electrical how-to book. It's one book every homeowner should keep on hand for ready reference.
g. Most home wiring is complete with either No. 14 gauge or No. 12 gauge wiring. No. 14 is the smallest wiring
permitted under most codes.
h. Always use the same size cable for a continuation of extended wiring any circuit.

A single-pole switch is the most basic of all electrical switching. When the switch is in the ON position, it
completes the circuit and supplies power to the device. When in the OFF position, the switch disconnects power from the
device.
1. Determine the current for the circuit that will determine what
size cable you will use.
2. Run your feed cable from the electrical panel to your switch location.
3. Run your switch cable from the switch location to the light fixture

Example 3 Example 4
Wooden raceway is made of dry and quality wood and usually consists of backing and capping. The backing is
provided with grooves to hold the wires in position without the capping.
Wooden raceways are classified according to the number of grooves they have. Usually the raceways measures
6‘, 8‘ 10‘ and 12‘. The width of the groves depends on the size of the wires to be used in the wiring installation. Small
common wire nail is use to fasten the wooden raceways on the wiring surface.
The Philippine Electrical code requires the surface wooden raceways may be used in exposed dry locations, and
where the maximum potential difference between conductors does not exceed 300 volts. It shall not be use in the
following:
1. for concealed wiring
2. where it may be subjected to mechanical injury
3. in hoist ways
4. in elevator shaft
5. in hazardous location
Wooden raceways are terminated by boxes, switches and other fittings, shall be provided wit a W -cut to
accommodate the mica tubing inserted over the conductors.

unidirectional electric current property.
– It allows an electric current to flow through them in only one direction. They are also known as rectifiers.
– Diodes can be used to change alternating currents (ones flowing back and forth round a circuit, constantly
swapping direction) into direct currents (ones that always flow in the same direction).
Resistors
– is a two-terminal electronic component designed to oppose an electric current by producing a voltage drop
between its terminals in proportion to the current?
– These are the simplest components in any circuit. Their job is to restrict the flow of electrons and reduce the current
or voltage flowing by converting electrical energy into heat.
– Resistors come in many different shapes and sizes. Variable resistors (also known as potentiometers) have a dial
control on them so they change the amount of resistance when you turn them.

• Broken wiring inside cord set - internal breaks in the conductors of cord sets or other connecting cords caused
by flexing, pulling, or other long term abuse. This is one of the most common problems with vacuum cleaners
which tend to be dragged around by their tails.
• Bad internal connections - broken wires, corroded or loosened terminals. Wires may break from vibration,
corrosion, poor manufacturing, as well as thermal fatigue. The break may be in a heating element or other
subassembly. In many cases, failure will be total as in when one of the AC line connections falls off. At other
times, operation will be intermittent or erratic - or parts of the appliance will not function. For example, with a blow
dryer, the heating element could open up but the fan may continue to run properly.
• Short circuits – When two wires touching or contacting the metal case of an appliance happens too often.
Partially, this is due to the shoddy manufacturing quality of many small appliances like toaster ovens. These also
have metal (mostly) cabinets and many metal interior parts with sharp edges which can readily eat through wire
insulation due to repeated vibrations, heating and cooling cycles, and the like.
• Worn, dirty, or broken switches or thermostat contacts - These will result in erratic or no action when the
switch is flipped or thermostat knob is turned. In many cases, the part will feel bad - it won't have that 'click' it had
when new or may be hard to turn or flip. Often, however, operation will just be erratic - jiggling the switch or knob
will make the motor or light go on or off, for example.
• Gummed up lubrication, or worn or dry bearings - Often, due to environmental conditions (dust, dirt, humidity)
or just poor quality control during manufacture, a motor or fan bearing will gum up or become dry resulting in
sluggish and/or noisy operation and overheating. In extreme cases, the bearing may seize resulting in a totally
stopped motor. If not detected, this may result in a blown fuse (at the least) and possibly a burnt out motor from
the overheating.
• Broken or worn drive belts or gears - rotating parts do not rotate or turn slowly or with little power even through
the motor is revving its little head off. When the brush drive belt in an upright vacuum cleaner breaks, the results
are obvious and the broken belt often falls to the ground (to be eaten by the dog or mistaken for a mouse tail.
However, there are often other belts inside appliances which will result in less obvious consequences when they
loosen with age or fail completely.
• Broken parts - plastic or metal castings, linkages, washers, and other 'doodads' are often not constructed quite
the way they used to be. When any of these fail, they can bring a complicated appliance to its knees. Failure may
be caused by normal wear and tear, improper use, accidents, or shoddy manufacturing.
• Insect damage - Many appliances make inviting homes for all sorts of multi- legged creatures. Evidence of their
visits or extended stays will be obvious including frayed insulation, short circuits caused by bodily fluids or entire
bodies, remains of food and droppings. Even the smallest ventilation hole can be a front door.

The beauty, neatness and accuracy of work depend much on correct measurement and layout in materials. Woodworking
follows the principle of measuring object twice to justify accuracy and cutting of materials once. This way waste of
materials is avoided. The proper use of measuring tools and correct lying out of work contribute a lot in skills development
especially in project making.
Layout of Project
In every carpentry and masonry activity like constructing a house or project making, plan should to be followed to
maximize the use of material. Proper layout of project contributes a lot in the economy of materials and good result of the
project.
Getting acquainted with different parts sections and components of a house, you can start with the first step in
constructing a building which is to lay out the building site.
This is the process of locating the area where the foundations of the building are to stand, which means
accurately locating the four corners of the building that in turn will establish the boundaries of the foundation, no matter
what type of foundation you use. Follow these steps in laying out a building.
1. Establish the orientation line. This represents one side of the building to be erected whether the building is in line
with existing building. Parallel to the road, parallel to existing building or the building is going north to south, east
to west, or in any to the north-south direction.
2. Stake out the corners temporarily. To give an idea of how the building will sit on the lot and to have a basis for
erecting the batter boards.
3. Set up a batter or reference boards. Use any of the two types of batter boards, the batter boards for foundation
posts which may be either joined continuous pieces surrounding the site of the foundation or individual piece for
each of the foundation and batter boards for foundation walls
4. Lay the sides of the building on the batter boards. This is done by making
line representing the outer side of the foundation,
line representing the true length of the sides of the proposed building,
line representing the side of the building from center to center of the foundations.
5. Square the layout lines. There are ways to do this a) by using the framing square, b) by using a right triangle with
sides of 3:4:5 ratio and c) by measuring the diagonals which the most accurate.
6. Locate the areas for the foundations by determining the location of the foundations and by measuring distances
from center to center between the foundations on the layout lines.
7. Mark the areas for excavations needed for the foundations. You need a plumb bob for this purpose by hanging
passing through the intersection of the foundation lines and a template representing the size of the footing if
several diggings are to be made.
Tools and Devices in Laying Out Foundations of a Building
1. Framing Square – made from a single piece of steel bent to form a right angle. The tongue is usually 16 inches
long and 1 ½ inches wide. The blade is 24 inches long and 2 inches wide.
2. Line Level –only a couple of inches long and has hooks at each end so that it can be hung on a piece of string. It
gives you a close approximation on long reaches especially when laying out the strings for a foundation.
3. Water and Tube Level – Compose of Water container filled with water, nipple, rubber hose and glass tube with
graduations. Use to establish level marks for laying out foundations, girders, horizontal studs and girt plates. An
application of the principle that seeks its own level.
4. Transparent Water Hose – This is similar to the principle applied in water and tube level.
5. Plumb Bob – is designed to hang from a length of string to give a true vertical. It is widely use for locating the
corners of a foundation.
Laying Out Column Footing and Wall Footing

However, footings standing on rock may use the sides of the diggings as forms. The depth of the footings may vary
depending on the height of the building and the soil where the building is erected. Remember that the strength of the
building relies on the strength of the foundation. It must withstand the wreath of typhoons and the intensities of
earthquakes.
After the concrete foundations have been hardened posts can erected and aligned as well. This should not be too soon,
or the column will break from the footing. It is advisable to erect the post with the forms and braces still intact. Foundation
posts are anchored with iron straps and bolts in alternate directions so that the strong side of one post will support the
weakness of the other. Follow these steps:
Bore holes from the strap and insert the bolts with the nuts tightened. Do not forget the washers. Boring is done
on both sides letting these holes to meet at the middle of
1. Cement – Portland cement is used for concrete. This is not a trademark but a name that distinguishes it from
cements used for other purposes. It‘s hydraulic cement made by heating and pulverizing a mixture of limestone
and clay. When mixed with water, it acts as bonding material for the aggregate. It weighs 94 pounds,
approximately one cubic foot and sold per bag.
2. Sand (Fine Aggregate) – Sand acts as filler between the spaces in the coarse aggregates. River bank sand and
screenings from crushed stones are suitable as fine aggregates but seashore sand is not applicable for concrete
because it contains a chemical which weakens bonding of the cement. Sand should be clean, and hard. It should
be free from clay, loam dust or any dirt. These will also add to poor bonding and eventually weakens the
concrete. However, dirty sand can be washed by means of chutes.
3. Coarse Aggregate – These are gravel, crushed stone, and pebbles which should clean and hard. The sizes of
gravel depend on the job like for foundations, it needs bigger sizes but for walls and floors it requires smaller
gravel. It is important that the gravel could pass readily between the reinforcement and the form.
4. Water – The water to be used must clean free from mud, oil, alkali and other matters.
The amount of water used in mixing concrete is the most important factor affecting the strength of a given mixture
after it is ascertained that the cement and aggregates posses all the good qualities. Too much water will reduce the
strength of the concrete by as much as 25% to 50%. There is no specific amount of water depending on the moisture
content of the aggregates. The volume of cement, sand and gravel is measured with the desired proportion expressed in
three numbers, for example 1:2:4 respectively. Different proportions of concrete have different hardness and porosity.
Always refer to the specifications for mixing proportions to attain quality concrete. The following are samples of mixing
proportions which may serve as your guide.
4. Class AA – 1:1 ½:3. Used for columns of reinforced concrete buildings and for construction where a very strong,
dense concrete is required.
5. Class A – 1:2:4. Good mixture for reinforced concrete works of all kinds and for general concrete work.
6. Class B – 1:2 ½:5. Medium mixture for plain concrete, walls, floors and other purposes which do not require so
much strength and impenetrability.
7. Class C - 1:3:6. Lean mixture used in heavy masses where the loads are wholly compressive and of moderate
intensity and where the main requirements are weight and stability combined with moderate strength, as in heavy
walls and in foundations for bridge piers.

Drainage system
Water disposal after use becomes a problem in the drainage system if it‘s not working correctly. The house
drainage system does the job for the purpose of disposing and draining water carrying away solid wastes. Drainage
system including proper installation venting system of the sewer gases to facilitate the flow and draining of water waste.
It‘s commonly called the “drain-waste-vent,” or DWV system.)
1. The major importance in the DWV system are the traps, the familiar U or S-shaped bends of piping under sink.
2. Traps are designed to prevent potentially dangerous sewer gases from entering the house; each fixture must
have one.
3. The shape and position of a trap, under normal circumstances, retains water that serves as an effective seal
against rising sewer gases.
4. The drainpipes themselves lead away from all fixtures at a certain calculated slope.
5. If the slope is too steep, water will run off too fast, leaving solid particles behind
6. If it‘s not steep enough, water and waste will drain too slowly and stay into the fixture. The normal pitch is ¼ inch
for every horizontal foot pipe travel.
7. Central to the DWV system is a soil stack, a vertical section of 3 or 4-inch-diameter pipe that carries waste away
from toilets (and often fixtures) and connects with the main house drain in the basement or crawl space.
8. The upper part of the stack serves as a vent. Secondary vents from other fixtures can also be connected to it
above the level of the highest fixture in the house (this is called reventing or back venting).
9. However, in many houses – especially single-story house – widely separated fixtures make it impractical to use
only one stack. Instead, each fixture or fixture group has its own waste connection and its own vent.
10. The house drain is 3-inch, 4-inch or larger diameter pipe that collects all waste and drainage from the soil stack
and other drainpipes and leads out of the house where it joins the house sewer – the underground part of the
drainage system.
11. Cleanouts provide access to the pipes for clearing obstructions. Cleanouts should be installed in various places in
the drainage system
12. There should be one cleanout in each horizontal section of drainage line, including an outdoor cleanout for access
to the house sewer.

Venting system
Sewer gases can build up enough
pressure in your drainage that break through
the water through the water seal in a trap and
enter your house through a drain. The venting
system prevents above the roof of your house.
The venting system also maintains
atmospheric pressure in the drainpipes. Water
running out through traps can create vacuums,
causing a siphoning effect that would empty the
traps of water.
The constant presence of the circulating air throughout the drainage system maintains an equilibrium that
prevents siphoning. All fixtures must be vented. Each may have its own vent or may connect with a main vent through a
system of secondary pipes.
Plastics
A comprehensive range of both mechanical and injection-molded fittings is produced to suit plastic pipe
manufactured from the rigid PVC, polyethylene and nylon materials. These materials belong to the ―thermoplastic‖
classification of plastics and are mainly used in a range of sizes from 15 to 50 mm only a limited range of screwed fittings
is available.
The Unplasticised polyethylene Chloride uPVC system offers possibly the greatest range of screwed plastics
fittings well suited to domestic, commercial and industrial applications.
Majority of jointing in this system is based on the solvent weld spigot and socket technique, many joint are of the
screwed type and are used in a similar manner to that used for steel pipes.
Moulded solvent–weld uPVC pressure fittings are manufactured and tested in accordance with an Australian
Standard and are classified in various BSP threaded fittings are available for take off connections. The spigot and socket
ends are connected in the usual way using solvent cement.
To connect threaded fittings, the joint is best made by using PTFE sealing tape onto the male end and screwing
firmly, avoiding over tightening. Various uPVC adaptors and other moulded threaded fittings of the system.
Polyethylene (black polythene)
The greatest demand for fitting associated with polyethylene pipe is still in the rural sector for water reticulation
systems for some reasons like:
Polyethylene pipe cannot be solvent bonded; the greatest usage for mechanical fittings is in conjunction with
fittings produced from this material. A complete range of BSP fittings is available to suit polyethylene, PVC and
galvanized steel pipes and fittings.
The normal method of joining polyethylene pipe is by compression (non-manipulative) fittings while the extensive
variety of fittings available to suit the various grades of pipe makes reference to the fitting instructions provided by
manufactures advisable, because particular brands use different rings and inserts.
26
Flanged Joints
Flanged joints are generally used on large-diameter pipes and tubes where
unions and other screwed fittings prove to be impartibly.
27
Where doubt exists on the sustainability of a particular sealant, the following list of properties should be used as a
basis for selection.
Stainless steel tube
Stainless steel tube is one of the most corrosion- resistant materials available to plumbers for use in hot and cold
water services.
1. This is due to the resistance of the hard, adherent and transparent oxide film which covers the surface of the tube.
2. Stainless steel tube is stringer than copper and steel and weighs less. The rigidity of the tube is an advantage
when fixing, as is the expansion rate of stainless steel tube which is less that copper‘s, resulting in less
movement in fixing and less strain on joints.
3. The tube of fully compatible with copper or copper fittings; no galvanic or electrolytic action occurs.
Fixings
The coefficient of polyethylene is high; the material should therefore be free to expand and contract wherever it is fitted,
as with uPVC pipe. Polyethylene does not have anywhere near the rigidity of uPVC. Because of this, the material is
restricted in use particularly above the ground and in hot areas. For suspended supports, this pipe should be laid in
structural channels or angle sections, as allowable spans of only eight to twelve times the pipe diameter are required to
prevent sagging.
Valves taps and controls
The range of valves, taps and controls used in water supply work is immense.
Each has been designed for a specific purpose and therefore the materials form which
they are manufactured also varies considerably. Found only on domestic installation.
A Valve is a hand-operated device used to control the flow of water in a piping
system. It is manufactures from bronze, brass, gunmetal, steel, cast iron, glass or
plastics or a combination of these. Materials with high corrosive resistance are usually
used on water supply.
A tap is also a hand-operated device used to control the flow of water in a
piping system. A tap may or may not be manufactured with both inlet and outlet threads.
Unlike a valve it is designed to be installed on an outlet of a pipeline and the type of
appliance water outlets dictates of the tap.
Groups of valves and taps
There are several groups of valves in common use in water supply.
They are:
1. loose valve screw-down type;
2. straight through screw-down type;
3. ground face plug type
Loose valve-screw down type
These are most commonly used controls on reticulated
water supplies and there are many different shapes in both valve
and taps which incorporate the same operating principle.
3. The spindle is raised by turning the handle in the counter-
clockwise direction, pressure is released from the valve and
the water pressure acting on the underside is then able to lift
the valve and allow the water to pass through to the outlet.
4. Water is restricted to the body section by a rubber O ring
fitted on the bottom of the spindle. This O ring forms an
effective seal between the spindle and the bonnet of the
valve and prevents water passing out of the tap via the
bonnet.
28
Plumbing systems
The plumbing connection consists of the following:
(a) Light-gauge copper tube
(b) Capillary fittings are suitable for the transmissions of hot and cold water, gas, compressed air and other fluids.
(c) Capillary fittings are designed to give good flow characteristics which are easily taken apart and are cheaper and
less bulky than compression fittings.
Joining of polyethylene
Because of the comparison of polyethylene, no effective commercial solvent has yet been developed that will
dissolve or fuse it.
10. Solvent joints as used with uPVC are therefore not possible. Jointing is carried out by means of welding or the
use of brass compression fittings.
11. Welding is carried out in the manner as with uPVC, with the same advantages and disadvantages
12. Compressions fittings, normally constructed of brass in various sizes, are manufactured for jointing polyethylene
Joint design
Seams should always be mechanically fastened for strength, whether soft soldered or sealed with a compound
sealant. The sealant does not, therefore, require significant adhesive strength but must bond positively to both opposing
surfaces as a continuous layer.
Meters are often in position where the inlet and outlet rises are to be encased in concrete.
When this occurs, the removal of the meter for servicing or cleaning is extremely difficult
As the meter rises to rigid, the deflection of the pipe work effect the removal of the meter and it may cause
fracture to the pipe
To eliminate the possibility of damaging meters, meter unions or pipe work, an additional bend should be installed
on the meter outlet riser so that the pipe work may be swung aside and the meter removed.
Drafting
Concept of Drafting
In most cases before making the final plan it takes the form of sketches and drawing
Sketches usually precede the making of scale drawing of an object.
An attempt to make something without having a definite plan usually results in waste of materials and time as well
as in a poorly constructed project.
DRAFTING EQUIPMENT
In order to do planning or drafting work it is first necessary to learn the names of the tools the draftsman uses and the way
he uses them to produce a good drawing. In addition it is necessary to learn certain rules and regulations which are the
principles of good drafting.
Drawing Pencils
- Drawing pencils is made of a much better grade of graphite, commonly called lead, than the ordinary writing
pencils so it is possible to draw lines which are of uniform blackness and to do better quality of line work.
- The hardest of the drawing pencils is the 9H. The next hardest in order are the 8H, 7h, 6H, 5H, 4H, 3H, 2H, H,
HB, B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, and 6B. The 6B is the softest of all the drawing pencils. It is used mainly by artists for
sketching. Most work in engineering drawing is done with the 4H, 2H, and H pencils. Generally the 4H pencil is
used for layout for construction lines, the 2H pencil for general line work, and the H pencil for lettering.
- To do good drawing it is necessary to work with a good sharp pencil point. This is why drawing pencils are used
for our drawing rather than the regular writing pencils. The best kind of a pencil point for the beginner is the
conical-shaped point. The graphite should be exposed about 3/8 of an inch, and the wood about one inch making
a total of 1 3/8 inches. A pad of sand paper is useful in keeping pencil points sharp.
Cross-Ruled Paper
- Paper which has uniformly spaced lines running both vertically and horizontally is called cross-ruled papers.
- The lines are commonly spaced at 1/8 inch or ¼ inch apart.
- The paper is used for preliminary drawings of objects, either freehand or mechanically.
- Each unit of space may be used to represent an inch, a foot or a fraction thereof, thus making it much easier to
have the drawing in the proper scale or proportion.
- The ruled lines also help the sketcher to make lines straight either horizontally or vertically.
Rule
- A rule is necessary in order to make sketches of objects. For example, the designer or draftsman may be
required to make a freehand sketch of a machine part.
- A rule is necessary to make the measurements from the part. These measurements must then be placed on the
sketch as dimensions.
- The rule is not used to draw straight lines of a mechanical drawing.
30
The T square is used to draw all horizontal lines. It is also used for a guide in drawing inclined and vertical lines
with the triangles.
It is composed of two parts, the head and the blade. These parts are rigidly fastened together so that the working
edge (or top edge) of the blade forms a right angle with the head.
The better quality T squares have clear transparent edges which enable the draftsman to see lines through them.
T squares are usually made in the following lengths: 15, 18, 21, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, and 60 inches.
To keep T square in good serviceable condition it should receive gentle treatment to protect the edges of the
blade from nicks.
The joint between the head and the blade must be rigid so as to prevent play, which would result in inaccuracies
in the drawings.
The head of the T square should be used against the left edge of the drawing board, when the pupil is left
handed; in that case it should be used against the right edge.
It should be held firmly against the edge when in use so as to insure that all horizontal lines are parallel and that
vertical lines are perpendicular to the horizontal lines.
Triangles
There are two triangles the draftsman needs. They are a 45º triangle and a 30º– 60º triangle.
The 45º triangle has two angles of 45º and one of 90º, while the 30º- 60º triangle has one angle of 30º one angle
of 60º, and one angle of 90º.
The better triangles are made of celluloid or plastic; the cheaper ones are made of wood. The advantages of
celluloid triangles are that they do not chip or break as easily as the wooden ones and they are transparent,
which enables the draftsman to see through them.
An 8‖ 45º triangle and a 10‖ 30º - 60º triangle are good sizes to use for average work.
To draw vertical lines with the triangle one edge is held along the upper edge of the T square so that the right
angle of the triangle is adjacent to the edge of the T square and is in the lower left hand position. The pencil point
is placed along the edge of the triangle down near the blade of the T square and then drawn away from the T
square. Always rotate the pencil as the line is being drawn; this produces a line of uniform width.
Lines making angles of 45, 30, 60, 15, and 75 degrees with the horizontal or the vertical may also be drawn with
triangles. Triangles may be used as a straight edge in drawing a line through two given points. The T square may
also be used for this purpose.
LETTERING
Lettering is usually done freehand. In general, there are two styles of lettering-engineering and architectural.
Either one of these two styles may be made vertically or inclined.
Complete instructions for making a machine part or for building a house cannot be recorded without a few notes
to supplement the drawings. Also it is imperative that the dimensions be placed on the drawing so that the object
may be made the correct size. In order that these notes and dimensions may be clearly and easily read they are
lettered.
The ability to letter legibly and neatly is useful in other ways than in drafting. For example, lettered names and
addresses are frequently required. Print! Don’t write! Is a common suggestion.
31
Composition is the spacing of the letters to form words, the spacing of words to form sentences, and the spacing
of sentences to form paragraphs.
In order to get good spacing of letters in forming words, the areas between the letters should be approximately
equal. This does not mean the horizontal distances are equal. The space between two words in the same
sentence should be equal to the height of the line of letters; that is, the body of the lower case letters or the height
of the capitals, when only capitals are being used.
Certain combinations of letters such as the L and T may be overlapped slightly when they appear in this order.
The space between sentences should be about twice as great as the space between words. This makes the
lettering easier to read.
Sometimes it becomes necessary to fit lines of lettering into a limited space. In order that all of the letters will fit, it
is necessary to condense the letters. These condensed letters are the regular ones except that the horizontal
distances have all been decreased in the same ratio. Also the space between letters is decreased uniformly.
When a few words are to be put in a wide space, letters may be extended. Condensed and extended lettering are
very useful in lettering titles on drawings or maps.
LINE TECHNIQUES
Drawing can provide a very definite description of an object. The lines are drawn according to certain standards
already recognized by draftsmen and the people who read drawings.
Certain types of lines are used for object lines, others are used for center lines, and still others for dimension
lines. In making a pencil drawing there are different line widths or weights. Commonly used are the wide or
medium line and the narrow or light line.
In ink work three line widths, heavy, medium, and light, are used.
Kinds of lines
Outline of parts. It is used to represent the visible edges of an object when making a drawing. When done in
pencil it uses medium line; when done in ink, it uses heavy line.
Section line. It is used to indicate the sectional views.
Hidden line is a dashed line. It is a medium weight line used to represent edges of an object which are hidden
from the view. The dashes are about 1/8‖ long and the spaces are about 1/16‖ long. It is very important that they
be kept uniform in length.
Center line. Is a light line made up of a series of long and short dashes. The long dashes are from ¾‖ to 1 1/2‖
long and short dashes are about 1/8‖ long. The spaces between the dashes are 1/16‖. Here again the spaces
and dashes must be uniform in length. Center lines are used to indicate the centers of holes or the center of
symmetrical objects.
Dimension lines. Light solid lines except where they are broken for placing the dimensions. These lines are used
to indicate that the dimension is measured in the direction of the line and the points of the arrows at each end
show the dimensioned distance. This same width of line is used for extension lines.
Cutting plane lines. Heavy lines made up of a series of one long dash about ¾‖ long and then two short dashes
each about 1/8‖ long Cutting plane lines are used to indicate the position of the cutting plane when making a
section.
32
PICTORIAL DRAWINGS
To express an idea clearly a drawing is made which is understandable by those who will see it. There are several
kinds of drawings which may be grouped into two general classes – pictorial drawings, and working drawings.
Under the general heading of pictorial drawings are isometric, oblique, and perspective drawings.
The word ―pictorial‖ comes from the word picture; therefore, a pictorial drawing resembles a picture. As a matter
of fact, a photograph taken with a regular camera represents a true perspective, which is one type of pictorial
drawing.
In engineering work an isometric type of drawing is quickly made and easily read, but the appearance of the
object is somewhat distorted. It shows three sides of the object. Oblique drawings are also frequently used in
engineering. They also show three sides of the object and may be used to show the front in true shape.
In isometric drawings, all the principal edges of the object except the vertical edge are drawn at 30 degrees to the
horizontal. The bottom and top edges, which would normally be horizontal, are drawn 30 degrees with the
horizontal.
All edges are measured their true distance in isometric drawing. Isometric drawings are used to show the front,
top, and side of an object in their actual relation to each other.
Some objects have inclined surfaces or edges. To show an inclined edge of an object in isometric drawing it is
necessary to locate carefully each end of the line by making measurements from the respective vertical and
horizontal edges and then draw the line between these two points. This type of line is called a non-isometric line.
A disadvantage in isometric drawing is that any surface of the object having a circular hole, or circular shape
presents a problem in drawing. However, circles or arcs may be drawn in isometric.
Oblique Drawings
Another commonly used type of pictorial drawing is the oblique. The oblique differs from the isometric in that only two
faces are drawn at an angle. The receding faces-top and right and left sides-may be drawn at any angle. Most
commonly used, however, is 45 degrees.
Another type of pictorial drawing is perspective. This used more by artists and architects than by engineers. It,
however, more nearly resembles the way objects actually appear to the observer than does either isometric or
oblique.
One-point and two-point perspective are the more commonly used kinds. In one-point perspective all horizontal
lines point toward the one vanishing point, which is located on the horizon.
In two-point perspective the horizontal lines running in one direction lead to one vanishing point and the horizontal
lines running in the other direction lead to a second vanishing point. Both vanishing points are located on the
horizon line.
The vanishing points are chosen so that the faces of the objects are made long or short depending upon whether
you wish to show more of one face or the other.
ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION
33
GEOMETRIC CONSTRUCTION
Knowledge of simple geometric construction is essential to the draftsman or engineer and is useful to the layman
in reading drawings, making plans, and developing sketches of the objects to be made.
An obtuse angle is one which is greater than 90° and less than 180°.
Acute angle is one which is less than 90°.
Hexagons are six-sided figures which are frequently used in machine drawing for showing hexagonal heads of
bolts and screws.
Regular hexagons have six equal sides and six equal angles.
A vertical line and two 30 degrees line are drawn through the center of the circle. This divides the circumference
of the circle into six equal parts, When the points, the circumference of the circle are connected the hexagon is
formed.
Ellipses
Ellipses are necessary in drafting when oval shapes are required. The pin and string method is often used in
laying out an ellipse.
Graphs and charts are widely used to show in an objective manner the relationship of different numbers, sizes of
object, speeds, and surface areas.
The ability to read charts intelligently and to make simple graphs and charts to illustrate your ideas is an important
part of general education. Graphs and charts provide an effective method of portraying ideas quickly and
interestingly.
Lines graphs, bar graphs, area graphs, volume graphs, pictorial graphs, and organizational charts are common
devices for portraying ideas graphically.
Line graph is usually constructed by placing two sets of figures in relation to each other on axes formed by two
lines perpendicular to each other which intersect at a point.
Horizontal line is the abscissa or the X axis. The zero point is called the origin.
34
Organizational graphs are useful in showing the relationships and functions of different departments of an
industry, a school system, or a government organization.
The organizational graph enables the reader to grasp the whole organizational framework at a glance.
Maps
The ability to read maps enable one to find directions easily and, improve means of transportation.
The common types of maps are geographic, topographic, relief and contour.
The geographic map shows the boundaries of countries, important town, cities, mountain ranges, main roads,
rivers and lakes.
The topographic map is used to show in some detail the top view of a section of a country
A relief map shows the relative elevations of the ground surfaces.
Contour map are made when contour arte given with elevation.

PART I – CONTENT UPDATE
Definitions of Entrepreneur
An entrepreneur is one who bears uncertainty, buys labor and materials, sells product at uncertain prices (
Cantillon )
Entrepreneur is an adventurer, undertaker, and projector. His function is to supply and accumulate capital.
An entrepreneur is an innovator. He does new things or does things in anew way. He supplies new product;
makes new techniques of production; discovers new markets and develops new source of raw materials. (
Schumpeter)
An entrepreneur always searches for change, respond to it and exploits it as an opportunity. ( Peter Drucker )
An economist, explains that an entrepreneur is one who shifts economic resources from an area of lower
productivity to an area of higher productivity and greater yield.
In the dictionary entrepreneur is defined as a person who organizes, operates, and assumes the risk for business
ventures.
The pure entrepreneurs are those who launch their own venture from scratch. They search for new materials
even from scarce resources and develop it providing new idea-producing opportunity.
According to the author of the book The Practice of Entrepreneurship Geoffrey Meredith, entrepreneurs are
people who have the ability to see and evaluate business opportunities, to gather the necessary resources and to
take advantage of them, and to initiate appropriate action to ensure success.
Characteristics of Entrepreneurs
Characteristics are distinguishing traits or qualities of an individual. These are favorable interdependent
characteristics which make one successful and extraordinary person. Here some of the most important
characteristics of entrepreneurs :
Self confident . Entrepreneurs have a strong belief in their abilities, talents and skills. They do not accept things
as it ordinarily exist. They see to it that they can do better.
35
Nature of Production
Production is the creation of goods and services and utility. Goods and services are produced to satisfy human
needs and wants.
Entrepreneur is the vital factor in transforming resources into goods and services. Hew decides the proper
combination of resources, such as the application of more labor and less machine. He also decides what to
produce, how to produce, when to produce and where to produce.
36
Production Resources
Material resources. These are tangible, physical resources which are used for production. In an industry
examples are steels, cement, glass , etc., in agriculture fertilizers, seeds machines used in farming, etc., in
schools there books, chairs, rooms laboratories and other physical facilities.
Human resources. These are the most important resources. It is the people who plan and implement business
activities. Being so important progressive corporations emphasize human resource development through
education and training of the employees.
Financial resources. These involve funds for various purposes. Without sufficient funds there will be impediment
of production.
Informational resources. Correct and complete information is vital to the success of any forms of business.
Facts are very important in making plans, decisions and implementation of plans. The entrepreneur must know
the needs of the customers, the strategies of the business rivals, the recent technological developments,

Land. Includes natural resources, such as forests, mountains, and bodies of water like rivers, lakes, and seas.
Labor. This refers to both physical and mental efforts like the works of farmers, fishermen, outputs of workers,
clerks lawyers, teachers, doctors, etc.
Capital. Pertains to machines, equipment, buildings and other physical resources which are used in the
production of goods and services. This is also used for starting a business.
Entrepreneurial ability. The ability to coordinates the other factors of production such as land, labor and capital.
Without this factor other resources would be useless.
Costs of Production
Costs of production represents the payments for the factors of production. These affects the ability and
willingness of entrepreneur to produce.
When production costs are high, prices go up. This decreases the purchasing power of the customers. This
results to lower quantity demanded for goods and services.
Producers must choose productive resources which are abundant in supply, because these are much cheaper
than when there is scarcity in supplies. Cheaper inputs mean lower costs of production.
The total costs of production is the sum total of expenses in producing a product or service. It is equivalent to the
sum of fixed cost and variable cost. The rents are fixed cost while the expenses on raw materials are variable
costs.
If there are production, there is no variable cost, but there is fixed cost.
Rules of Production
For long-run period
When total revenue (TR) is greater than total cost (TC ), produce more
When total revenue is less than total cost, stop producing.
When total revenue is equal to total cost, maintain production.
TR being more than TC means profit. The opposite is loss. When TR=TC ,it is breakeven. There may be no profit,
but also no loss, yet there is payment for the entrepreneur. Thus it is still good to maintain production.
For short –run period
When TC is greater than VC, operate
When TR is less than VC, shut down.
Variable cost (VC) refers to the operating expenses like salaries, cost of raw materials, office supplies, and bills
like water, telephone and electric.
Technology refers to the process of transforming resources into goods and services. Technology requires modern
machineries and less number of workers.
Philippines adopt intermediate technology which means it is between primitive technology and modern
technology. This requires local labor and material, and simple management.
Our country has an abundant supply of idle labor and raw materials. Entrepreneur can utilize such cheap
resources for the production of goods and services. Such endeavor can reduce the problems of unemployment,
and can contribute to the economic development of our country especially in the rural areas.
Inventory Control
Inventories are stocks of goods and materials. There are three types of inventories :
1. The raw material inventory. These are stockpiles ofmaterials for inputs of production
2. Work-in process inventory. These are partially completed products that require further processing.
3. Finished-goods inventory. These are completed goods for delivery to customers.
37
Scheduling is the process of ensuring the delivery of materials at the right place and at the right time. Such
materials can be raw materials, semi-finished goods or finished goods. Movement of these materials or products
require specific time to avoid delays.
The raw materials may be moved from the storage facility to the work station. The semi-finished products may be
moved from one work station to another work station. The finished products maybe transported from the
warehouse to the stores or direct to the customers.
The PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) is used to monitor and control scheduling of activities.
Under PERT, all the major activities are represented by arrows. The path that requires the longest time from the
first event to the last event is called critical path. The activities along this apth should be scheduled and
controlled. A delay in just one activity causes a delay in the completion of the whole
project. Quality Control
Quality control is the process of ensuring that goods and services are produced in accordance to the
specifications and requirement.
Quality has become the central point of business to establish reputations.
There are two ways to ensure the quality of products. One is the formation of quality circle. A group of employees
officially meets to study and solve problems of quality. Another is through inspection. This is being done at various
time during production
The principal objective of quality control is to sustain the standard or reputation of the enterprise. Such objective
must be in line with the goals and objective of the establishment to maximize customer satisfaction.
High quality attracts more customers which results to more profits. Without quality control, more rejects or factory
defects will be result.. this is additional cost of production.
Productivity means the efficient creation of goods and services. This is measured by the number of products
produced.
Productivity is the result of various factors. It can be the workplace, such as lighting, ventilation, and sanitation. If these
are not favorable, they may reduce productivity. This can also be influenced by economic factors like salary, overtime
pay, and other monetary incentives. Human relations can also affects productivity. If management treats
his employees with dignity, respect and justice, productivity is improved. And they are capable of attaining peak
performance.
Marketing is defined as asset of human activities directed at facilitating and consummating exchange (Professor
Kotler). These definition includes three elements :
two or more persons who are potentially interested in exchange
each person having things of value to offer to the others
each of them is capable of communication and delivery
Marketing is a transaction intended to satisfy human needs. (Professor William Stanton). Aside from goods and
services, ideas, people and places are being marketed.
Marketing includes an integration of various functions, such as marketing research, new product development,
advertising, customer service, distribution and selling. Selling is only a part of marketing.
The marketing concept determines the needs of the customers first, then develops the product and service to
satisfy such needs. Marketing is customer-oriented while selling concept is focus on the needs of the seller.
Importance of Consumer Service
Since customers are the heart of an enterprise, the customers should be put first in the business. The following
are some approaches in customer service :
Train all employees to be courteous and efficient. They immediately attend to the needs of the customers.
Waiting for long to get the product reduces customer satisfaction.
Coddle the customer. Customers should treated with dignity like replacing damage items without questions.
Remember that dissatisfied customers tell others about their experiences. Dissatisfied customers can convince
other not to patronize your product or the store itself.
Listen to feedbacks about your business. Feedback can improve services and quality of products.
Marketing Plan
A marketing plan is an outline of actions designed to achieve a specific set of goals. This should be compatible
with the marketing resources and the external environment of the enterprise. The external environment consists
of :
Economic forces - such inflation and unemployment which directly influence the purchasing power of the
consumers. For example, when prices are high, people can only buy a lesser number of goods and services.
Societal forces- like social and cultural values and traditions that greatly affect the choice of goods and
services by consumers. For instance, many Western habits are not allowed in the Middle east due to
differences in religious beliefs and practices.
Technological forces – such as new methods and new machineries that can be both positive and negative to
marketing. Positive in the sense that entrepreneurs can avail of the benefits of better technology to improve
38
Feasibility Study
A feasibility study help obtained data about the market potentials, location, nature of customers, product and
services needed.
Putting up a business is not a game of chance. It is not a win or lose activity although there are risk to undertake
and cannot be avoided like natural calamities.
Importance of feasibility study:
Eliminate business risks because it carefully studies the competence, interest and resources of the entrepreneur
against the needs of the consumer, together with the presence of the competitors. Through this study the
entrepreneur can determine whether it is profitable to set up a certain kind of business or not.
The resources of production such as money, materials, machines and manpower are properly used and
scheduled according to plan.
A good feasibility study can help detect the weaknesses of the business operations.
Outline of Feasibility Study
Evaluate your personal resources and interest, and the resources of the community
Do you have the necessary funds ?
Are raw materials available ?
Analyze the market
Is there a good demand for the product or service ?
How many competitors are there in the market ?
Who are the customers ?
Are they interested in the existing product or service.
Is it possible to offer a better quality or a lower price ?
Business location
Is it near your prospective customers ?
Are there facilities like electricity, water, transportation and communication?
Is the place clean, decent and peaceful ?
Do you have good alternatives in case the best location is expensive
Is it accessible to raw materials and other supplies ?
39
Fixed capital refers to the money needed to purchse fixed assets or capital goods. This includes amounts meant
for the acquisition of machinery, building, office equipment and all those fixed assets required in the production
processes or the items needed in the provisions of services to the customers.
Working Capital is needed to fund the day-to-day operations of tehbusiness. This capital represents the money or
hard cash to support it normal short-term operations. it is generally used for inventory, payroll, utilities, and also
take care of the unexpected emergencies as to keep the business on-going.
Growth capital. This is needed when an existing business is set to expand, diversify or change its direction
Sources of Capital
Internal fund is owned by the entrepreneur himself.
Mortgage takes the form of fund generated by way of pledging a designated property as security or collateral for
the loan
Bonds are form of indebtedness which promises a fixed amount of interest to the bond holders upon maturity .
Loans from banks
Merchandise suppliers
Credit card companies
Capital equipment suppliers
Leasing companies
Receivable factors
Lending investors

41
These are complex organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Amino acids which are end products in
protein digestion are considered the building blocks of this nutrient. They can be classified as follows:
c. Essential or indispensable amino acid- they are needed for life and growth and have to be provided in one‘s daily diet.
d. Non essential or dispensable amino acid – they are amino acids which do not have to be present in the diet since they can be
synthesized by the body.
e. Semi essential - they are dispensable amino acids that become indispensable under special condition e.g. malnourished
children and patient recovering from injury or surgery.
Based on the classification of amino acids, proteins can be categorized as complete, partially complete and totally incomplete protein.
Complete protein contains all the essential amino acids. They are capable of maintaining life and supporting growth. It includes all
animal proteins except gelatin. Partially incomplete protein can maintain life but cannot support a normal rate of growth while totally
incomplete protein lacks one or more essential amino acids and therefore incapable of replacing or building new tissues.
Proteins are involved whenever the body is growing, repairing or replacing tissue. The following functions of proteins show its
importance in body processes.
a. For body building – 20 % of the body weight is protein. Minus water, in dry weight, it is approximately 50 % of the total body
weight. This consists of muscles, bones, cartilage in the skin and body fluids. ―Body building‖ means that protein is an
integral part of all body tissues and living cells and it is found in muscles, organs, glands, body cells, enzymes, hormones,
antibodies in the body fluids and bodily secretions (except urine, bile, and sweat) and in (the supporting organic matrix for)
bones, teeth, skin, hair, and nails. In cases of tissue damage or breakages, protein helps in the repair of body tissues.
a. For energy supply – Like carbohydrates, protein provides energy but is rather an expensive source of energy compared to fats
and carbohydrates. These secondary role should as much as possible be spared by an adequate intake of fats and
carbohydrates.
b. Regulator of body processes – It helps in the exchange of nutrients between the cells and the fluids within the cells, or
between the cells and the blood. It also helps in maintaining fluid balance. Since plasma in blood contains protein, the lack of
protein in plasma disturbs the fluid balance. As a result of this disturbance, fluid is accumulated in between tissues resulting in
swelling, also called edema. Nutritional edema is a symptom of low protein levels in the blood, called hypoproteinemia.
Protein Malnutrition
Protein deficiency is accompanied by the following symptoms:
b. loss of weight
c. general weakness
d. less resistance to infection
e. dry and scaly skin
f. edema
g. paleness
In addition, growth in children is very slow and in serious cases is retarded. Protein malnutrition is known as kwashiorkor.
Children with kwashiorkor are in many cases thin with pot-bellies, swollen feet, dry and abnormal hair, and sometimes with skin lesions.
Sources of Protein
Excellent sources of complete proteins are animal origin. These include the following: Meat, fish, poultry, milk, cheese, eggs, and
glandular organs. Plant sources include legumes and nuts. Prominent among this is soybean which is available in the market in various
forms such as tokwa, tofu, tahu, tausi, and soya milk. Monggo which is usually prepared in Filipino homes as viand (ginisang monggo)
is also good source.
In cases of limited funds and limited animal sources, these can be extended by adding vegetables, legumes, cereals, and root crops.
This way, cost per serving is very much reduced. Pancit, menudo, pork and beans, mongo guisado, chop suey, and picadillo are dishes
with meat ―extenders‖.
Animal Sources- lean meat, chicken, eggs, cheese, dried & fresh fish, shellfish, milk & dairy products
Plant Sources- legumes and seeds such as sitaw, monggo, kadyos, abituelas, garbanzos, linga, sitsaro etc.
nuts such as peanuts, pili, cashew, etc.
rice, corn, bread
carrots, beets, leafy vegetables
2. Carbohydrates
42
Classification
Carbohydrates are classified based in their complexity of sugars. These are polysaccharides, disaccharides, and monosaccharide.
Polysaccharides – or multiple sugars have more than 10 saccharide units. They consist of the digestible types which are starch
and dextrins. Starch is found in cereal grains, rice and rice products, bread and other flour products. Dextrin is found in toasted
bread and the intermediate products of starch digestion. The indigestible type consists of cellulose found in skins of fruits, in
coverings of nuts and legumes, in stems of mature leaves and hemicellulose which are found in seaweeds and slightly unripe
fruits. Glycogen or ―animal starch‖ is carbohydrate stored in the liver and muscles. It is used to supply energy in work and play.
Glycogen in liver is changed to glucose and is circulated by the blood to other parts of the body.
Disaccharides – are sugar hydrolyzed into 2 simple sugar units. It consists of lactose, maltose, and sucrose. Sucrose is cane sugar
or beet sugar. It is also found in syrups, molasses, and some fruits. It is used in cooking and in table service; hence it is called
―table sugar‖. Maltose is s malt sugar produced from the digestion of starch (cereal grains) in the intestines. It is used in making
infant milk formulas. Lactose or milk sugar is found in milk and milk products and is the least sweet among common sugars
Monosaccharides – The simple forms of sugar consisting of glucose, fructose, and galactose. Glucose is also known as dextrose
or grape sugar. It is found in fruits, honey, corn syrup, and sweet corn. It is the end product in starch digestion. It is the form of
sugar oxidized by the body to release energy. Fructose is the sweetest of all sugars and is found in ripe fruits, vegetables and
honey. It is also changed to glucose in the liver and intestine. Galactose is derived from lactose when the latter is hydrolyzed in
digestion. It is also changed to glucose to release energy.
Functions of Carbohydrates
The major functions of carbohydrates in the body are the following:
a. It is the chief source of energy. The glucose at the end phase of digestion is the most readily available source of energy
needed by the body during work and play. One gram of pure carbohydrate yields 4 calories.
It is a protein sparer. The presence of carbohydrates in the diet spares the use of protein for energy use. Instead, protein is
used for body-building rather for energy-giving. Hence, there is a need for an adequate supply of carbohydrates in the day‘s
meals.
It is a fat sparer. This means that an adequate supply of carbohydrates in the body prevents the incomplete oxidation of fat.
It regulates the peristaltic movement of the intestines. With the presence of cellulose or the indigestible fiber which acts as
roughage in the intestine, peristaltic movement becomes regular, constipation is prevented, and regular bowel movement is
established.
Sources of Carbohydrates
Common food sources include sugars, cereal grains, starchy vegetables, and dried legumes. Specifically, this includes rice and rice
products – puto, kutsinta, kalamay, corn, bread, all kinds of root crops, and all kinds of noodles, all bakery products – cookies, sugar,
sweets, candies, jams, marmalades, and other related products.
3. Fats
This refers to food fats and oils which are simple lipids. Fat consists of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and is usually insoluble in water.
The end products of fats in digestion are fatty acids and glycerol.
Fats are classified according to their physical appearance as a) visible fats which are found in cooking oil, margarine, butter, lard, fats in
pork, beef, and chicken; b) invisible fats which are found in egg yolks, milk, avocado, and in lean meat.
Functions of Fat
It is concentrated form of energy. Unlike carbohydrates, fat supplies 9 calories per gram; which is 2 ¼ times more than
carbohydrates or protein. Fat not utilized immediately in the body is stored in the form of adipose tissues found in the
intramuscular tissues, around the abdominal area and in the subcutaneous tissues. This is a reservoir of potential energy. At
work and at play, this is usually utilized after carbohydrates. When fat storage goes beyond 15 – 20% of the desired body
weight, the individual becomes overweight.
1. It is also a sparer of protein. Together with carbohydrates fats perform the function of providing energy for the body. For as
long as these two nutrients are available in the body, protein is spared from providing energy and concentrates in body-
building and repairing instead.
2. It carries the fat. Soluble vitamins – Vitamins A, D, E, and K – need a fat-soluble medium to keep them in solution and facilitate
absorption in the body.
3. It aids in the elimination of waste since fat acts as a lubricant.
4. It has high satiety value. When one eats fatty foods, he feels full in a short time and it takes a longer time to feel hungry again.
Sources of Fats
The most important fat sources are the visible fats – butter, margarine, cooking oil, lard, and fats from animals like pork, beef, chicken,
and fish. Invisible fats found in milk, cheese, egg yolks, and in nuts and legumes are also good sources. Other specific food products
which are good sources of fats are chocolate, sausages, sardines, salad dressings, mayonnaise, coconut, whipping cream, cream
cheese, cottage cheese, candies, coffee cream pies, avocado, butter cookies, cheese cakes, whole milk, pastilles, bacon, and nuts.
43
Some vitamins in plants and animals are preformed, meaning that they are already in active form and ready for their biological function
in the body. Some vitamins are present in plants as precursors, meaning that they have to be changed to active form to be ready for
biological function. An example of this is a carotene or pro-vitamin A. Carotene is called a precursor of Vitamin A.
There are also manmade vitamins which are synthesized in the laboratory. Hence, these are called synthetic vitamins. These synthetic
vitamins are mostly used for therapeutic purposes. An individual who eats a well-balanced meal does not need synthetic vitamins
because he is assured of the normal intake of vitamins from food sources.
Classification of Vitamins
Vitamins are classified according to their solubility, namely: the fat-soluble and water-soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins include vitamin A, D,
E and K while the water-soluble vitamins include vitamins C or ascorbic acid and B complex which include thiamin, riboflavin, niacin,
pyridoxine, cobalamin, pantothenic and folic acid, and biotin.
Fat-soluble vitamins or Vitamins A, D, E, and K are soluble in a fat medium while C and B complex are soluble in a water medium. The
fat soluble can be stored in the body. Hence, there is no need for a daily intake unlike the water soluble which are not stored but
excreted in urine. Fat soluble vitamins are not easily dissolved when cooking; hence, they are stable unlike water soluble vitamins
which are easily dissolved in cooking. Because of this unstable nature of the vitamins, the use of synthetic vitamins is sometimes
recommended to assure adequate intake of the vitamins and to be assured that no deficiency symptoms occur, because deficiencies
easily arise in water-soluble vitamins.
Functions of Vitamins
Fat-soluble vitamins.
Vitamin A is important for normal vision especially for normal night vision. This is because Vitamin A maintains the integrity of the
mucous linings of the eyes, the skin, the respiratory, and the digestive tracts. Lack of Vitamin A results in the hardening of the
linings, e.g., inability of the eye to adjust to light changes. Vitamin A acts as a catalyst in the release of enzymes that act on bone
formation. Hence it is important in normal bone and skeletal growth. It is also needed in establishing the cells of both the nervous
and reproductive systems.
Vitamin D promotes bone and teeth development because it facilitates absorption of calcium and phosphorous.
Vitamin E or tocopherol is important for cellular respiration and the prevention of hemolysis (anemia) of the red blood cells.
Vitamin K is needed in the proper coagulation of blood by maintaining the prothrombin level in blood plasma.
Water-soluble vitamins.
Vitamin C is needed in holding cells together. It maintains the integrity of the cells. It builds body resistance to infection. It improves
iron absorption and helps in the healing of wounds and bone fractures. It aids in metabolism.
Vitamin B1 or thiamine helps maintain good appetite, good muscle tone, and normal function of the nerves.
Vitamin B2 or riboflavin is essential for protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism. It maintains the health of the skin, tongue,
mouth, and normal vision. It is needed for proper growth and development.
Niacin is important in energy metabolism. It also aids in photosynthesis in plants.
Pyridoxine or Vitamin B6 is important in amino acid metabolism. It catalyzes urea production, the synthesis of essential fatty acids,
and the conversion of niacin from trytophan.
Pantothenic acid is essential for carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. It maintains normal growth, healthy skin, and integrity of
the central nervous system.
Cobalamin or Vitamin B12 helps folate works to make red blood cells. It also helps in maintaining the sheaths that surround and
protect the nerve fibers.
Sources of Vitamins
Leafy green and yellow vegetables, fruits, liver, and other glandular organs, legumes, nuts, cereals, eggs, milk, fish and poultry are
good source of vitamins.
5. Minerals
Minerals are inorganic compounds which comprise about 4 – 6 % of the total body weight. They are non-caloric, with ash as
their end product, unlike organic compounds (protein, fat, and carbohydrates) with carbon dioxide, water as the by-products.
Classification
Minerals are classified as microminerals and macrominerals.
Macrominerals are those whose occurrence in body weight is greater than .005% while microminerals are those whose occurrence
in body weight is .005% and below.
44
Functions
Minerals in general help in the following:
B. Structural function – integral part of the cell, tissue, substances or organic compounds in the body
bones and teeth- calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, fluorine
hair, nails, skin – sulfur
hemoglobin – iron
glandular secretions- HCl of gastric juice
thyroxin – iodine
insulin – zinc & sulfur
vitamin B12 – cobalt
soft tissues- mainly muscles- all salts e.g. potassium, phosphorous & sulfur
extracellular fluid – sodium and chlorine
C. Regulatory function – include
contractility of muscles- all particularly calcium, sodium and potassium
irritability of nerve - all particularly calcium, sodium and potassium
normal blood clotting- calcium
maintenance of acid-base balance – sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, sulfur and
chlorine
Sources
Milk, fish, leafy vegetables, seafood, dried fish, legumes, nuts, meat, poultry, cheese, and dairy products are good sources.
C. Apply the principles in Food Selection, Cookery, Table Setting and Serving
Food Selection
1. Exercise firmness and control in making decision in choosing what to buy based on nutritional quality, health, and safety of
family and the family likes and values.
2. Establish the habit of buying foods of the best quantity at the most reasonable price.
3. Appreciate the use of proper substitute when original ingredients are not available or too expensive to buy.
4. Make it a habit of reading labels to get information about the product.
5. Practice allowing more than enough time in choosing what to buy so you can compare common foods items and be able to
select the best brand.
6. Control oneself in indulging in impulse buying and forgetting priorities when marketing stick to the market list no matter what.
Food Preparation
C. Develop the habit of preparing all needed tools, equipment, and ingredients before starting to cook.
D. Practice all nutrient conservation measure to safe keep nutrient in food.
E. Appreciate a well prepared nutritionally adequate and aesthetically prepare meal.
F. Adapt absolute hygiene in the preparation of food.
G. Exhibit a positive attitude towards work. Food preparation is a tiring but rewarding task.
H. Exercise patience and creativity in preparing food that is acceptable and appreciated by the family.
I. Adopt scientific attitudes in preparing and cooking food using the right quality of ingredients, correct measurement, correct
temperature and correct procedure.
D. Food Storage
1. Check you refrigerator temperature (maintain at 35 to 40 ºF).
2. Check your freezer temperature (keep at 0 or below 0 ºF).
3. Cover and wrap food properly; label with the product name and date when stored
4. Keep cooked foods on shelves above raw foods. Avoid drippings.
5. Store in small batches to cool or freeze faster.
6. Allow space around food packages or containers for air circulation.
7. For dry storage (flour, sugar, rice, dried beans etc): store in a cool, dry place 6 inches away from the floor and 12 inches away
from the ceiling. Keep dry, clean containers properly labeled and tightly covered; they should not touch the walls.
8. Use FIFO (First In, First Out) METHOD of using stored foods.
1. Cooking Food
Thaw frozen foods in the refrigerator, microwave oven, or as part of its cooking period.
Follow the principles of cooking for the type of food. Cook meat and fish thoroughly.
When tasting food, use spoon once.
Avoid smoking and chewing gum while cooking. Minimize talk.
45
ºF ºC
The space used by one person at the table is referred to as a ―cover‖. A width of at least 20 inches should be allowed for ea
ch cover, and an even greater width is desirable if the table is large enough. A simple decoration will help to make the table attractive.
46
Place the forks, with the tines up, at the left of the cover, and place the knife, with the cutting edge toward the inside, at the right of the
cover. Then put the spoons, with the bowls up, at the right of the knife. If no knife is required at the meal, as for example when a salad
is served with a prepared sandwich for the main course, the salad fork is placed at the right of the cover instead of at the left. Butter
spreaders are placed across a bread- and-butter plate, if one is used, either parallel with the edge of the table or parallel with the rest of
the silver.
When the meal is to be served at the table, the serving pieces should be placed conveniently near the person who is to serve. Place the
carving knife and fork and serving spoons at the right of the cover of this person, putting the carving knife at the right of the serving fork
and the serving spoons at the right of the knife. Or if the table is a small one, place the carving knife at the right of the serving platter
with the serving spoons beside it, and the serving fork at the left of the platter. The serving platter will be at the top of the platter. The
serving platter will be at the top of the server‘s cover.
Tumblers or goblets are placed just above the knife, either directly in line with it or slightly at the right of the tip of the knife. If two
glasses are needed, place the second glass at the right of the water glass. Glasses of very cold beverage, may deposit moisture on the
table covering so put a coaster or a small plate beneath them. For iced beverages, the coaster or under plate should be large enough to
hold the spoon that is used for stirring or at least to support the tip of the spoon when it is not in use. When a juice or cocktail is served
as an appetizer, put the filled juice or sherbet glasses on place one in the center of each cover, except at breakfast, when juice glasses
may be put at the right of the water glasses.
If bread-and-butter plates are used, they are placed at the tip of the fork. When the food is to be served from the table, place the plates
for each course before the person who will serve. If the food is to be passed so each person may help himself, then put a plate at each
cover.
If a hot beverage is to be served at the table, place the cups and saucers before the person who will pour the beverage, either at the
right or left according to the amount of space. Each cup should be on its own saucer with the handle of the cups at the right. When
there are more cups and saucers than can be arranged this way, one cup may rest inside another with the two saucers under them, but
no more than two cups should be stacked together.
Put the salad plates next to the salad bowl if the salad is to be served from the bowl. Or put an individual salad plate that has been
served in the kitchen at the left of each cover. When the table is small, it is permissible to place the salad plate at the top left. Or even at
the right should that be more convenient.
47
(above the plate. left to right): salt & pepper, dessert fork & spoon, (above the plate. left to right): bread & butter plate, butter
water/wine glasses). knife, wine/water glass.

Food purchasing also affects the food cost. In shopping, it is advised that the menu planners should:
Prepare shopping list; shop alone.
Shop according to available facilities.
Know the guide to purchasing (right quality and specifications).
Know current cost of item.
Read labels and check weights of food.
Don‘t over buy.
Exercise appropriate scheduling.
E. Apply the Basic Skills in Baking and Cake Decorating
PRINCIPLES IN BAKING
Maintain hygiene and sanitation at all times. This means keeping oneself, the food, tools and utensils and the surrounding
clean.
Know the kind of flour to use in every type of baked product. Cake flour is ideal for cakes, bread flour for practically all bread
and all-purpose flour for cookies and pastries. While substitution can be made in the absence of one type, it is always best to
use the ideal type.
Batters and dough differ in terms of the ratio of liquid to flour.
48
Flour
Flour is the major ingredient among all other ingredients. It is a powdery product obtained from milled cereals, foremost of which is
wheat. Flour provides the structure of baked products. It also contributes to color, texture, and flavor. Other products include cassava
flour, rice flour, soya flour, potato flour, mongo flour, and several others. Flour used in most baked products is wheat flour.
49
Sugar
This is a sweet, crystalline, soluble compound that comes from the processing of sugar cane and sugar beets. It is available in
the market in different forms.
1. Brown sugar – this sugar comes from different shades of brown depending on how well it has been processed. The darkest
brown sugar is usually sticky, lumpy, and contains more molasses than the brown and light-brown types. Unlike white sugar, it
contains some caramel, mineral water, and more moisture. Brown sugar is less purified than white sugar.
2. White, granulated sugar – This is the type commonly used by bakers in practically all baked products and in preparing
varieties of icings, fillings, etc. it varies in texture, from coarse to sandy, to fine and smooth.
3. Confectioner‘s sugar – This sugar is the finest in texture compared with brown or white sugar. It contains about 3 %
cornstarch. This prevents the lumping or crystallization of the sugar granules. This type of sugar is used mostly in icings and in
cake mixes where a blending of flour and sugar is done and then added in the final stages of mixing.
Sugar contributes to the browning of the crust. The intensity of its brownness depends on the amount and kind of sugar used.
As the amount of sugar is increased, the brown sugar becomes darker. Likewise the bread is baked in a shorter time to retain its
moisture. A rich brown crust adds appeal and palability to the baked product.
Leavening Agents
These are substances that produce gas while mixing or heating the dough or the batter. When gas is produced, the product increases
its volume and becomes light and porous.
There are three (3) groups of leavening agents. They are air, water or steam, and carbon dioxide.
1.Air is incorporated in several ways when one creams the butter and sugar; eggs are added one at a time while mixing; the
batter is folded into the whipped egg whites, or egg whites are beaten with a whisk beater;
2. Steam or hot water vapor causes the mixture to rise as in steamed Puto and Siopao;
3. Carbon dioxide is produced by the use of yeast, a biological leavener; baking powder and baking soda which are chemical
leaveners.
Leavening agents are used in almost all baked products because they make baked products light, due to their open and
porous texture. The products become:
1. bigger in volume due to the air cells
2. light due to its porous texture
3. easily chewable due to its light and porous characteristics
Leavening agents such as baking powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar should be kept in tightly lidded containers. These
containers should be in a clean, cool, and dry place. Exposure to heat leads to rapid deterioration. Yeast should be kept in a cool place
in a tightly closed container.
Salt
A minimal amount of salt (about 2% of the weight of the flour used) is recommended in yeast bread. Salt used should be
cleaned and refined. Salt serves several purposes in baked products.
Liquid ingredients include water, milk or cream, and fruit juices. In baking, it is added to flour to develop the gluten. Gluten is
the elastic substance from the protein components of the flour namely glutenin and gliadin. The amount of water in flour influences its
consistency. Too much water weakens and tends to spread the gluten. On the other hand, too little water makes the dough stiff and
difficult to handle. The amount of water used depends partly on the types of flour used. Bread flour absorbs more of water while cake
flour absorbs less water. Therefore, the proportion of water to flour is in a ratio of 1:2 ½ cups for bread flour, 1:2 for cake flour, and 1:3
for all-purpose flour.

Invisible fats are not seen by the eye but can be recognized due to their greasiness or oiliness. Examples are egg yolks, avocado, lean
meat, and cheese.
Slightly beaten egg white is frothy or slightly foamy, transparent and flows easily, and has large air bubbles. It is
usually used for thickening.
Stiff egg white has lost its frothy appearance but still foamy; has small air bubbles; is no longer transparent but is
opaque white, very shiny, and moist, and flows if the bowl is tipped. If allowed to stand, the liquid portion of the stiff
foam separates out readily. It is used for sift meringue.
Stiff egg white is no longer foamy but moist, shiny, smooth opaque white, and has tiny air bubbles. This is the stage
of beating that is often used. It is usually used for meringues and cakes. It should be noted that the stability of egg
white is important in the success of cake products such as angel cake.
Dry egg white is white but dull. It is avoided in meringues or cakes because the stability is decreased. If allowed to
stand, the liquid portion separates.
1. Color – The yolk of the egg provides the desirable yellow color that gives the cake a rich appearance.
2. Richness – Fats and other solids of the egg provides the product additional fat and sweeter taste. It also provides shortness in
the mix, enabling the mixture to be handled easily.
3. Flavor – The odor of the egg gives a desirable aroma to the baked products.
4. Freshness and Nutritive Value – Egg retards staling because of its moisture content (75% for whole egg) and its natural ability
to bind and retain moisture. Egg has high nutritional value. It is rich in calcium, phosphorous, and iron. The protein in egg is
complete protein, capable of supplying all the essential amino acids required to maintain growth and good health. In addition,
the use of egg supplies important amounts of Vitamin A, D, thiamine, and riboflavin.

Correct technique in measuring is as important as using the standard tools in measuring to obtain accuracy. For instance, the
correct technique in measuring sifted flour, white sugar, powdered chocolate, and dry milk is simply to fill up the cup or spoon without
topping or pressing and level with a spatula. Shortening (lard), margarine, butter, and brown sugar are packed into the cup by pressing
until all spaces in the cup have been filled up and the substance retains its shape when removed from the cup. For a liquid, it is
important to place a cup on a leveled surface. The liquid is poured into the cup until the required amount is reached. Marker lines on the
cup indicate fractional parts of a cup. They serve as boundary lines indicating whether a fractional part is filled up. For instance when ½
cup is needed, the cup is filled up to the line indicating ½.
Different tools perform different uses. Use the right tools for the right job.
For Measuring
Set of measuring spoons
Set of measuring cups (nested) for dry ingredients
Liquid measuring cup (made of glass)

The functional life of baking tools and equipment depends on the care and maintenance. It is not enough that they are used properly
but care given after use is very important to last for a long time. To replace them would be expensive, and if you are in the baking
industry, this would cut on the profit.
Different baking tools and equipment are made of different materials requiring different care. The following are general guides
in the care of baking tools and equipment.
A. Clean tools and pans made of aluminum with soap and water. Avoid using scouring pad as this will scratch and darken the
metal.
B. Stainless ones should be cleaned with soap and water, too. Use a very mild scouring pad and powder to remove stubborn dirt.
A clean dry cloth can bring out the luster when clean.
C. Glassware should be cleaned with warm soap and water. A fine scouring pad can be used to remove stubborn dirt. Pat dry
with dry clean cloth. Kitchen towels can bring out the luster in glass.
D. Cast-iron made equipment like the carajay can be scoured with a scouring pad (plastic or fine steel) to clean well. Rinse and
dry thoroughly.
E. Soak any tool and equipment with stubborn dirt for easier cleaning. Use warm water for burnt food like sugar and cool water
for cooked starch or flour.
F. Always use clean and absorbent rags in wiping tools and equipment. Air-dry them whenever possible. Remember that
equipment dries quickly when rinsed with hot water.
G. Store tools and utensils dry, clean, and in good condition.
H. Keep spatulas, beaters, and whisks clean. Hang them.
I. Set pans and cover upside down when storing. Likewise bowls should be kept nested to save space.
J. Hang those which can be hanged.
5. Stirring – This is a process of mixing two or more ingredients. This is usually done by agitating the ingredients in a bowl or
container. The tool usually used is a wooden spoon. The spoon is moved in a circular motion. The amount and intensity of
stirring depends on the degree of consistency and the texture required. However, it is good to remember to stop stirring as
soon as the ingredients are well mixed.
Mixing techniques affect the character of the finished product. In cake batter, for example, overmixing produces a smooth but
tough product. Undermixing, on the other hand, prevents the development of a tough gluten. Such difference accounts in part for
variations in cakes or pastries from the same recipe but with results not always the same in different bakings. The method of mixing,
mixing technique, time, and temperature among others, affect the finished product.
Temperature
Temperature affects the interaction of ingredients in a mixture. This in turn affects the final structure of the product. This is true
especially in cakes. For instance, when the temperature of fat is high, it tends to liquefy. It becomes less susceptible to creaming and in
incorporating air. Hence, the product is less in volume, a bit heavy, and the mixture particles loosely knitted. Likewise, sugar becomes
less soluble at lower temperature. Protein in flour absorbs water at a faster speed at high temperature.
Good grooming is keeping oneself clean, neat and attractive. It involves personal hygiene proper care of the body
and wear of clothes that are clean, neat and appropriate for the occasion. Good grooming not only enhances the
personality but it can be used as an effective tool in establishing good relationship. A well-groomed person is liked and
appreciated by everyone. In turn, one who is well-liked and appreciated builds self-confidence and radiates a feeling of
security. It also helps one to look at life in a positive light is happy and tends to be productive.
Good grooming is not only important in improving one‘s personal looks but should and must be part one‘s
professional development. Appreciation and respect of the person as a professional whether this be a teacher, a doctor, a
lawyer, a fashion model, an executive, a public relations officer can be partly attributed to the way the person looks and
carries himself.

Pedicure on the other hand, comes from the Latin word "pedi" meaning foot and "cura" meaning care. A
pedicure helps foot health by preventing a number of nail diseases and disorders when done regularly.
Purpose of Pedicure/Manicure
1. To improve the appearance of hands and nails
2. To keep hands and feet clean, fair and in good condition
3. It prevents long nail formation
4. Prevent nail damage like fragile tips, splitting.
5. To feel comfortable
The shape of the nail should conform to that of the tips for a more natural effect. In general the long, almond nail
shape, nicely rounded at the base and slightly pointed at the tips, fits most fingers and toes. Oval shape (long, almond
shape file at the tip) is considered as ideal and the most perfect shape of the nail. If the form of the nail is small, almond
shape is applicable. It makes the finger look normal in size.
4. Flowerette: colored
C. Fantasy Designs

Types of Make-Up
9. Ordinary or day make –up – This is basically simple and light make-up. It is appropriate in ordinary occasions,
church or going to work. Choose the shade that is very light. The time of the day determines how much make-up
is to be applied. Day make up is light and suits casual wear. Applied lightly, neatly, and beautiful it will go with any
kind of clothes for day wear.
1. Evening make-up or heavy make up – It uses darker shades. Heavy application of make-up cannot give a
glowing effect to the person. Color or shades of make up are carefully chosen to complement the color of the
dress.
1. Photographic make-up – Screen make – up is applied to the customer who wants to appear beautiful in
pictures. Those who look attractive or good looking in pictures but are not in person are photogenic. On the other
hand, there are those who, due to poor lighting or incorrect make up application, appear unattractive in pictures.
2. Stage screen/theatrical make up – What in seen on the screen are cinematic effects. Stage make up can
change the appearance of an individual‘s face through the use of varied cosmetics. Some of these cosmetics are
plaster of paris, vaseline, zinc oxide and spirit gum among others.
Preparation
Usually, make up is given after a facial massage. However, if the make up is applied before a comb-out is given,
remove rollers and clips and be sure to drape the patron‘s head to protect her hair.
The patron is reclined in a facial chair with her head slightly raised. The cosmetologist may sit at the back of the
patron to give the service or may move to the front of the patron for ease of application.
4. Apply cleansing cream – Remove a small quantity of cleansing cream from the bottle of cream and place all
over the face of the patron, then rub over the face to remove the dirt or clean the face.
2. Eyebrow – See to it that the eyebrow is in proper shape. If not, arching is given first before applying eyebrow
pencil.
3. Apply astringent lotion or skin toner – For oily skin apply astringent lotion; for dry skin apply a skin toner.
Moisten a cotton pad with lotion and pat it lightly over the entire face, under the chin and on the neck. Blot off
excess moisture with tissues.
4. Apply foundation – Place the amount needed on the palm of the hand. Choose the kind of foundations and
shades best suited and apply it evenly over the entire face and around the neckline with a gentle upward motion.
Blend carefully near the hairline. Remove the excess foundation.
5. Apply blush-on – Liquid cream or cake cheek rouge is applied on cheek bones with a sanitized soft brush.
6. Apply eye shadow – Select shades to match eyes or to complement them. Apply lightly on the upper lids or
gently outward with fingertips.
7. Apply eyeliner – Eyeliner can be used to make the eyes look large and lashes appear thicker. Choose the shade
of eyeliner that harmonizes with the skin. Gently draw a very fine line along entire lid as close to the lashes as
possible. If an eyebrow pencil is used, be sure the point is sharp so that the line will be only an illusion. Care
should be taken to avoid injury to the patron.
60
2. Apply powder – Powder the entire face to minimize the shine of the skin and make the face even on the
application of the foundation. Powdering the eyelids will prevent eye makeup from smearing. Remove excess
powder.
3. Apply mascara – Apply cream mascara on the eyelids. Apply and brush upward on the underside of the upper
lashes. Then gently tip the lower lashes.
4. Apply tip rouge – Lip rouge is removed from the container with sanitize spatula. Outline lips with the fine point of
a lip brush. Ask the patron to close the lips in a relaxed position.
Corrective Make-Up
Corrective facial make up helps to play up the good features and tone down the bad ones. Facial features can be
accented with proper highlighting or subdued with the correct shadowing or shading and balanced with the proper style.
1. Eyes too far apart – When the distance of the eyes is more than the size of one eye.
Remedy:
a. Draw the eyebrows close together.
b. Apply darker shades of eye shadow at the inner corner of the eyes and fade out at the outer corner. This
gives an illusion of closeness.
2. Close-set eyes – For eyes that are set too close together apply shadow lightly up from the outer edge of the eyes.
Remedy:
a. Draw the eyebrows wide apart.
b. Apply darker shades at the outer corner of the eyes and lighter shade towards the inner corner.
3. Bulging eyes can be minimized by blending the shadow carefully over the prominent part of the upper lid.
Carrying it lightly to the line of the brow. These kinds of eyes are considered big or large because of prominently
bulging eyelids. Use dark shadow as illustrated.
Remedy:
a. Extend eye make up upward.
b. No need for eyeliner.
c. Extend eyeliner at the eyelid.
d. Use dark shades of eye make up to hide the prominent eyelid.
e. Do not use frosted eye shadow or a highlighter to avoid emphasizing bulging eyelids.
f. Use only one dark shade of eye make up.
4. Chinky or Chinita eye – This kind of eye is small and can be made to appear larger by extending the shadow
slightly above and below the eyes.
Remedy:
a. Use another shade of eye make up at the outer and inner corner of the eyes.
b. Use a highlighter at the center of the upper lid.
c. Use some eye make up on the lower lid. Apply along the lower eye lashes.
d. Curl the upper and lower lashes and kitchen them with mascara.
61
Eyebrow Arching
Eyebrow arching has a marked effect on the beauty and contour of the face.
The natural arch or growth of the eyebrow follows the bony structure or the curved line of the orbit (eye socket).
The majority of persons have a disorderly growth of hairs both above and below the natural line. These hairs should be
removed to give a clean-cut and attractive appearance.
Correct eyebrow arching gives a clean-cut expression and attractive appearance to the face. The eyebrows must
however fit the shape of the face and the shape of the eyes. Shaping the eyebrows has thus become an art and a need.

Composition of Hair
Hair composed of a protein substance called KERATIN which is present in all horny growth such as nails, claws,
and hoofs.
Chemical composition of hair are carbon, 50.65 %; hydrogen, 6.36 %; nitrogen, 17.14 %; sulfur, 5.0 %; and
oxygen, 20.8%.
Color of Hair
The natural color of hair, its strength and texture, depend mainly on hereditary qualities of a physical nature. The
color of hair being an inherited characteristic is one which is easy to observe and classify.
Hair Distribution
Hair is found all over the body except on the palms, soles, lips and eyelids.
A. Long hair grow from the scalp, protects the scalp against the sun‘s ray and injury, give adornment to the head,
and form pleasing frame for the face.
B. Short hair such as the eyebrow and the eyelashes, adds beauty and line of color to the face. The eyelashes help
protect the eyes from dust particles and light glare.
C. Lanugo hair is the fine, soft dowry hair of the cheek, forehead, and nearly all areas of the body. It helps in the
efficient evaporation of perspiration.

Hairstyling
Each type of face demands a hairstyle that is rightly proportional; balance of line, and correctly frames the face.
The essentials of an artistic hairstyle must, therefore, be based on the following characteristics:
Suggested Hairstyle:
1. Chignon – Here, the hair is drawn softly to back of the
head, leaving the ear covered with a single deep smooth
wave at the side. The length of hair is then handled like fabric, curled, and
folded into a graceful crown shape.
Haircutting
66
Thinning shears – One blade notched. This shear is for thinning thick, kinky hair. Unlike the hair shaping
scissors, it does not have a pointed tip.
A. Thinning shears– This shear has both notches. It has the same function as the thinning shear with one blade
notch
B. Straight Razor – use for removing fine hair nearest the skin
D. Double-edge razor - use for removing fine hair much easier because of the double edges.
E. Comb – a toothed strip of bone, metal, plastic, or hard rubber used for arranging the hair. The kinds of combs
used in a beauty salon are the following:
1 Clipper – this is an electric shaving device that is used to smoothen the neck after a neck trim. It can also be
used with a comb to give a tapering effect to the cut at the back.. This is recommended for use with children to
avoid accidents when cutting their hair. It is easy to use.
67
c. Barber’s brushes – these are used to brush off trimming clinging to the cape or skin of the customer. They come
in various shapes and sizes.
d. Water Sprayer – this is used to wet the hair when cutting or trimming. The bottle is made of plastic or glass. It
has a nozzle, hose, and regulator. It comes in various sizes, colors and shapes.
e. Do-all clip – it is used to hold the sectioned hair when parting. It is about 3-5 inches long. It is made of plastic,
metal, or a combination of the two. It is useful in hair shaping. It is sometimes called a duck pin.
d. Thinning with shear – using the thinning shear, grip the hair by overlapping the middle finger a trifle over index
finger.
Caution: In using the thinning shears it is advisable to avoid thinning the top layer of strand.
e. Slithering method – hold a strand of hair straight out between the middle and index finger.
f. Razor cutting method – hold the thumb groove part of the shank or fold the finger over the handle of the razor.
g. Shingling method – start at the nape line shingling the hair upward in a graduated effect. After reaching the top
of the section being shingled, trim the comb downward and comb the hair, proceed section by section until the
entire back of the head is shingled in a smooth uniform manner.
Straight cut
68
1 Part hair at the side. Hold it between your middle and index finger. Slide gently then cut hair
diagonally going around the back of the ears. Do the same from the nape going up to the crown.
2. Position the comb at right angle. Then cut hair diagonally going around the back of the ears. Do
the same from the nape going up to the crown.
b. Short hair
Tapered haircut
a. Section the hair into three. Fasten with a do-all clip.
69
e. Sliding the nape and going up at the right angle hold hair between index and middle fingers. Cut
and comb.
f. Hold next strands at acute angle then snip as in the first strand. Comb downward. The next
strands are cut similarly. Do this up to the top or crown.
g. Check cut hair on all sides. Check if thickness and length is balanced.
1. Wedge Cut
3. Bring down strands of hair at the sides. Snip these to desired length.
70
Comb the remaining hair in the same length as the cut ones.
1. Part the top section and starting at the side, cut with a razor. Then snip the ends straight. Always
use the back as guide.
1. Repeat the same on the other side. Pick out about 5 strands of hair from the fringes longer than
other parts and set to style.
