TYPES OF MEASURING TOOLS
HANDLING OF
MEASURING
INSTRUMENTS / TOOLS
A. DO’S
1. Wipe measuring tools/instruments before
returning them to the storage room.
2. Oil the movable parts of the measuring
tools to avoid stock-up.
3. Make sure that grits like sand do not get
inside the housing or case of a pull-push rule
to avoid wearing off of the graduations.
4. Check the lock of a pull-push rule if it is
working.
B. DON’T’S

1. Do not wipe off edges of the steel tape of pull-push rule with bare hands to avoid injury.
2. Do not pull the steel tape of pull-push rule too much to avoid the coil spring from damage.
3. Do not use the caliper as tongs.
LINEAR MEASUREMENTS FOR THE 6 FACES
OF LUMBER
Linear measurements obtained are:

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

2. Edge 1 to Edge 2 or C D = Width ( W )

3. Surface 1 to surface 2 or E F =
Thickness / Height ( T / H )

CALCULATING
BOARDFOOT OF
LUMBER
The board foot as a unit of
measure for determining the
volume of lumber is still being
used by the furniture & cabinet
maker and construction industry
because lumbers are sold in terms
of board foot.
The formula used in computing board foot is:
Board foot (Bd. Ft.) = T x W x L
12
divide it with 12 if the length is in feet; 144 if
it is in inches

Where:
T = Thickness in inches
W= Width in inches
L = Length in feet
Note: This formula is being used for sawed
wood of commercial dimension.
Example: Compute the board foot of lumber
whose dimension is 2” x 4 “x 12’
Given. Solution:
T = 2” Bd. Ft. = T x W x L
W = 4” 12
L = 12’ = 2” x 4” x 12’
Formula: Bd. Ft. = T 12
xWxL = 96/12
12 = 8 Bd. Ft.
Directions: Compute the number
of board feet of lumber with the
following dimensions.

1. 2” x 6” x 12’
2. 3” x 4” x 10’
3. 2” x 2” x 16’
4. 2” x 12” x 8’
5. 4” x 4” x 18’
