Someone sent me clothes.
[8]
The sender is one of my friends, but he didn't want me to mention his name.
[13]
Thank you for these clothes.
[15]
Let's try to wear one.
[20]
It is good because the fabric is thin, and it is plain.
[25]
Let's try to wear it.
[31]
Thank you for this.
[33]
I will set this aside because this is not our topic for today.
[37]
I will show you something.
[44]
I remembered when I was working at an Engineering Designs Services.
[48]
It is a consultancy in Caribbean Island near Miami, USA.
[53]
Our clients there are architects or architectural firms.
[58]
What we do is we are the ones designing the structural.
[60]
The size of footing, column, slab, and how big it is.
[65]
The measurement we are using is the English system
[69]
or they know it as the Imperial system.
[72]
In Philippines, we are using a metric system.
[75]
If you notice, at the top, these big numbers 1 2 3
[80]
this is the inches.
[81]
Here is the feet.
[83]
That's the English system or Imperial system.
[86]
At the bottom, the numbers here are millimeters, centimeters, or meters.
[92]
That's the metric system.
[93]
It is the system that we are used to in the Philippines.
[97]
But it is confusing in the Philippines.
[100]
We are using millimeters and centimeters, but if you will buy materials
[106]
we are using English system.
[108]
For example, you will buy a pipe that measures 2 inches in diameter.
[113]
That is inches, so that is Imperial or English system.
[116]
You will buy drill bit
[117]
it has 1/16, 3/16, or 1/8 or 1/4.
[122]
Especially in furnitures.
[124]
If you will buy plywood or materials for carpenter
[129]
they are using inches or feet.
[132]
So it is confusing.
[134]
So today, we will talk about how to read a measuring tape.
[141]
Let's make this simple and basic for you to understand well.
[146]
Meaning, even if you don't have an idea or background in engineering
[151]
you will know how to read a measuring tape
[154]
and even you reverse this, you will not forget how.
[158]
Before that, if you are new to this channel, I am Donald Deniega.
[162]
I am a Professional Civil Engineer
[165]
and the purpose of this video is for information only.
[176]
First, we will talk about the English system or Imperial system.
[180]
If you notice on the measuring tape, as I said earlier, the top is the English system.
[185]
This, 1 2 3, is the inches.
[188]
In 1 inch, it has five different length lines.
[194]
You just need to remember this so that you won't forget.
[196]
For example, this 1 inch.
[199]
If you notice, it has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, five lines.
[205]
This small lines, if you will count it all, it is 32 lines.
[211]
Here
[212]
If I will pull this, you will notice that the lines here are not that compact
[218]
unlike this part which is it has small lines.
[222]
It's because this inch has 16 lines.
[226]
They didn't put a line between this.
[230]
This should have a line so it becomes 32.
[233]
If this is 16, when you add another line of 16, it becomes 32.
[239]
It is just like this.
[240]
We will see here at...
[244]
I just enlarged it.
[245]
This is the one inch.
[247]
These are the 5 lines I'm saying to you.
[250]
This is the 1, which is the longest.
[253]
Next is 2.
[255]
3.
[256]
4.
[258]
5.
[259]
You should remember this.
[262]
Each line has different length
[266]
This is
[268]
2
[269]
4
[270]
8
[271]
16
[272]
and 32.
[275]
When you have memorized this, you will not have a problem.
[278]
Let's start with 2.
[280]
Meaning, in one inch, when you divide it in two
[284]
this is the 1
[285]
2
[286]
Because you will divide it in the middle, what is this line?
[290]
This is the 1/2
[292]
inch in the measuring tape.
[295]
Here, if you notice, this one inch
[298]
this middle, the longest line, is 1/2.
[302]
That is also this.
[303]
Now, if you divide 1/2 inch in the middle again
[308]
what will happen?
[310]
If you will add another two lines
[315]
this is the one
[318]
two.
[318]
How many lines do we have now?
[320]
It is now four.
[321]
1, 2, 3, 4.
[322]
What is this line?
[324]
This first line is 1/4.
[329]
1/4 because it has four lines.
[332]
1, 2, 3, 4.
[334]
Now, what is this line?
[336]
It can be called as...
[339]
2/4.
[342]
Here
[343]
because this is the third line when we divided this by four
[347]
this is the 3/ 4
[350]
and this fourth line is, 4/4 is equal to 1 inch.
[358]
Now, this 1/4, these four lines
[361]
when you divide it again in the middle
[364]
what will happen?
[365]
In other words, you will add four lines again.
[367]
What is this?
[369]
This is the 1/8
[372]
because these are eight lines.
[374]
From four lines, you add four lines again
[376]
This is that.
[377]
1
[378]
2
[379]
3
[380]
4
[381]
5
[382]
6
[383]
7
[384]
8
[385]
If this is 1/8, what is this?
[387]
This is the 2/8.
[390]
3/8.
[392]
4/8.
[394]
5/8.
[396]
6/8.
[398]
7/8.
[399]
And this is the 8/8, still equal to 1 inch.
[405]
Now, you have eight lines.
[408]
When you divide again each of these in the middle
[413]
what will happen there?
[414]
In other words, you will add eight lines again because you will divide it.
[417]
This is the eight lines.
[419]
1
[420]
2
[421]
3
[423]
4
[424]
5
[424]
6
[426]
7
[427]
8.
[428]
If you count it all
[430]
how many lines do we have?
[432]
It will be sixteen because, from eight lines, you add eight lines again
[436]
it will be sixteen.
[438]
This first line is 1/16.
[442]
The next line is 2/16.
[446]
This one is 3/16.
[449]
Next is 4/16.
[452]
5/16.
[454]
6/16.
[456]
7/16.
[457]
This one is 8/16.
[459]
Next is 9/16.
[462]
And then 10/16.
[466]
This one is 11/16.
[468]
12/16.
[470]
13/16.
[471]
14/16.
[473]
Next is 15/16.
[475]
And this is 16/16, still equal to 1 inch.
[481]
Now, if you divide again each one of this in middle
[485]
if you divide it again, you will add 16
[489]
what will happen is it will be 32.
[492]
Those are these lines when you add 16.
[498]
If you count it all, that is 32.
[501]
Our first line is 1/32.
[505]
Next line is 2/32.
[509]
Third one is 3/32.
[513]
4/32.
[515]
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.
[519]
The half is 16, and on the other side is 16 also, so 16 + 16 is 32.
[522]
I will not write it all because it is time-consuming.
[526]
Just remember that these small ones
[528]
this is when we divide it into 32.
[531]
So here, just remember the 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32.
[536]
It means that this is the 1/2
[538]
1/4
[539]
1/8
[540]
1/16
[541]
and 1/32.
[543]
But maybe, you are wondering why there are so many values in one line
[547]
like this one, it has 1/2, 2/4, 4/8, 8/16.
[551]
This is the reason.
[552]
The 2/4, 4/8, 8/16, there is nothing wrong with that.
[557]
You can use it.
[558]
But because it is an even number, you can simplify it.
[562]
You can reduce it.
[564]
The result when you simplify it is still 1/2.
[568]
This 2/4 or 4/8, because it is even number--
[573]
What are even numbers?
[575]
Even numbers are the 2
[578]
4
[579]
8
[580]
or 6, sorry.
[581]
This is 6.
[582]
10.
[583]
Then 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 are even numbers.
[586]
Odd numbers are 1
[589]
3
[590]
5
[591]
and 7.
[592]
It is not divisible by 2.
[594]
The numbers you can't divide by 2 are odd numbers.
[599]
Like this.
[600]
This is an odd number because you can't divide it
[603]
so it can't be simplified.
[605]
Unlike this, you can still simplify this one
[607]
This will be the result when you divide it by two.
[610]
The result of this is 1.
[613]
When you divide the 4 by 2, the result will be 2.
[617]
So the result is still 1/2.
[620]
It is still the same.
[621]
It is also the same on others, when we divide this by two
[626]
the result will be 2
[628]
when we divide this by two
[630]
the result will be 4.
[632]
The result is 2/4.
[634]
Now, you can still simplify 2/4.
[638]
You can divide it by two.
[640]
The result will be 1/2.
[644]
It is still the same.
[646]
So even you don't know how to simplify, if you don't memorized how to simplify
[652]
if you know these lines
[654]
1/2, 1/4, 1/8
[656]
You will not be confused.
[657]
I will give you an example.
[658]
For example, we will measure something.
[660]
We will measure how long is this.
[664]
From here to here.
[666]
This small line is 32.
[670]
Now, we know that this is 16 because if it's whole, it's 32.
[673]
This is 16.
[674]
You will start counting here.
[675]
16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22
[679]
this is 23.
[681]
So it means that this is 23/32.
[685]
If you notice, 23 is an odd number.
[689]
You can't simplify it.
[690]
So this is the answer.
[692]
Or you can say, because it is near at 5/8
[695]
and the distance of each line to each line is 1/32
[700]
always remember
[702]
I said 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32
[706]
every line
[708]
every distance of this measures 1/32.
[713]
The width of this is 1/16
[716]
1/8, 1/4, 1/2.
[718]
Meaning, if this is 5/8
[722]
you still have three lines
[723]
1, 2, 3.
[724]
So you can say that this is 5/8 and 3/32 because these is three lines from here.
[730]
1, 2, 3.
[732]
Or you can say that, because this is 1/2
[735]
then every line is 1/32.
[739]
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
[741]
You can say 1/2 and 7/32.
[745]
For example, the thing you're measuring is in here
[748]
You can say 1/2 and...
[751]
Every distance of this is 1/16
[754]
This is that, 1/16.
[755]
You can say 1/2 and 2/16
[760]
or you can say 1/2 and 1/8 because this distance is 1/8.
[766]
Each of these from here to here is 1/8, so you can say 1/2 and 1/8.
[773]
For you to not forget it, remember this triangle.
[777]
1/2.
[777]
There are the majors.
[778]
3/4.
[779]
7/8
[780]
15/16.
[782]
And this last line
[784]
this is 32, right? so it means that this is 31/32.
[790]
Just remember this triangle.
[793]
If the thing you will measure falls here
[796]
you can say 15/16
[799]
or you can say, because it is near 3/4 or 7/8
[803]
if in 3/4, in every distance of this is 1/16
[807]
1/16, 1/16
[808]
1, 2, 3, so you can say 3/4 and 3/16.
[813]
If we will look at the measuring tape, the longest line is 1/2
[817]
1/4, 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32.
[821]
On the other side is 1/2, 3/4, 7/8
[825]
15/16, and 31/32.
[830]
So this is the triangle I am saying.
[832]
For you to be not confused
[833]
because some measuring tapes don't have small lines.
[838]
There are measuring tapes that have 16 lines only.
[841]
Don't be confused because the interval of this line
[844]
if this is 16 pieces.
[846]
In every interval
[848]
we know that it is 1/32.
[851]
That is how to read in English system or Imperial system.
[856]
Another thing you should remember.
[858]
If you saw these symbol which is like two lines
[860]
this is the quotation mark.
[862]
That symbol means inches if you saw that.
[865]
If foot or feet, you will see just one apostrophe.
[870]
That is foot.
[871]
And the equivalent of 1 foot is 12 inches.
[876]
In measuring tape, on every 12 inches, it is 1 foot.
[883]
Now, let's talk about the metric system.
[887]
If you see, the bottom part here is the metric system.
[892]
This is the centimeter.
[894]
In every distance of this
[896]
14, 15, 16
[898]
that is one centimeter.
[899]
The small lines here are millimeters.
[903]
Every one line there is 1 millimeter.
[906]
I'll just enlarge it.
[908]
I said earlier that 1 centimeter is equivalent to 10 millimeters.
[915]
I'll just write that 1 centimeter is equivalent to 10 millimeters.
[922]
Then if you notice
[924]
if I will move from here
[927]
if this is 90 centimeter
[929]
and if this is 100 centimeter
[932]
That is equivalent to 1 meter.
[934]
Meaning, every one meter is equivalent to 100 centimeters.
[942]
So it has 1 meter
[946]
is equal to 100 centimeter
[949]
or 1 meter is equivalent to 1000 millimeters.
[954]
Why did it become 1000?
[956]
Because every 1 centimeter is 10 millimeter
[960]
so if 10 x 100, the result is 1000.
[963]
So every 1000 millimeters or every 100 centimeters is equivalent to 1 meter.
[970]
Let's try to measure.
[973]
For example, we are measuring this.
[977]
If we will measure this
[979]
it falls on 29.
[981]
You will read it as 29 centimeters or .29 meters.
[986]
Why .29?
[987]
Because if you divide 29 centimeters by 100
[992]
the result will be .29
[994]
Now, for example, the thing you're measuring pass over a little here.
[999]
It exceeded 3 small lines
[1003]
It will be read as 29.3 centimeters or .293 meters
[1014]
or if you will read it as millimeters
[1016]
it is 293 millimeters because if you will add all of that, which is equivalent to 10 each
[1023]
until 29, so 29 x 10 is 290, plus 3
[1028]
so 293 millimeters.
[1031]
That is how you read in the metric system.
[1034]
It is easier compared to the English system.
[1038]
As usual, next time again.
