Measurement in American Construction Trades By: Mr. Weimer

Feet & Inches Symbols represent feet and inches Feet….. 3 feet = 3 ft. = 3’ Inches…. 10 inches = 10 in. = 10” I am 5’ 11” tall…. Commonly used in architectural plans and measurements longer than tape measures

Features of a Tape Measure Several technologies within one unit… Sliding hook

The Lock.

Foot Markers.

Stud Spacing & Repeating Scale 16” on center (o.c.)

Floor Truss Spacing. Approximately 19.2”

Deciphering the Fractions 1 inch = 2/2 = 4/4 = 8/8 = 16/16 Wholes, Halves, quarters, eighths, sixteenths 1” , ½”, ¼” , 1/8”, 1/16” Start with whole inches….tack on the remainder. 1 3/16” 28 15/16” 6’ 10 5/8”
