    Interpreting Drawings and Symbols


    Drawing, Abbreviations and Symbols are used to communicate and detail such characteristics.
    Technical standards exist to provide glossaries of abbreviation, acronyms and symbols.
    Abbreviations and symbols are used to save time because instead of writing the full words. Symbols
    are concise and can be understood in any language.

    Below are Common Symbol used in Industrial Arts

    Units of Measurement
    A. Imperial System
    Common imperial units off measurement:

    Quantity Unit Symbol


    Length Foot ft.
    Weight Pound lb.
    Volume Gallon gal.

    Here are the most common conversions of imperial units of measurement:

    Length Weight Volume


    1 pound (lb.) = 16 ounces
    1 foot (ft. ) = 12 inches (in.) 1 pint (pt.) = 2 cups
    (oz.)
    1 yard (yd.) = 3 feet 1 ton = 2000 pounds (lbs.) 1 quart (qt.) = 2 pints
    1 mile (mi.) = 5280 feet or
    1 gallon (gal.) = 4 quarts
    1760 yards

    When we convert units in the imperial system, we use a familiar rule:

    When we convert a larger unit to a smaller unit, we multiply by the conversion factor.
    When we convert a smaller unit to a larger unit, we divide by the conversion factor.

    B. Metric System

    The metric system is used in most countries of the world, and the United States is now
    making greater use of it as well. The metric system does not use inches, feet, pounds, and so on,
    although units for time and electricity are the same as those you use now. An advantage of the
    metric system is that it is easier to convert from one unit to another. That is because the metric
    system is based on the number 10.
    The basic unit of length is the meter. It is just over a yard. In fact, 1 meter ≈ 1.1yd.
