This procedure seems somewhat cumbersome, however once you have mastered it and understand it's principle, you will be quickly and easily converting scale drawings to real measurements with no math involved. Take the reading from this part of the scale (depending on the scale this may be graduated smaller or larger than 1") and add this number to the whole feet you mentally noted earlier. Now if you go back to the zero end of the scale the fractional feet to be measured will be represented by the distance of the start point of the object being measured to the zero point on the scale. Then slide the ruler so that the number you noted mentally lines up with the end of the item being measured. This number represents the whole feet of the item you are measuring. Mentally note this number and be sure to 'round down' even if you are close to the next number. RULER SCALE ARCHITECTS 18-31 Monday, 9:00AM - 4:00PM Tuesday, 9:00AM - 4:00PM Wednesday, 9:00AM - 4:00PM Thursday. Read the number off the scale that is closest to the ending point of the item measured. Line up the zero mark on the scale selected with the beginning of the item you wish to measure, then determine at what point on the scale the end of the item you wish to measure is. One scale reads left to right and the other right to left.
Be careful when selecting the scale on the ruler, there are two scales on each edge. This would represent a drawing with a scale of 1/8" = 1 foot. For example, 1/8 on the ruler is in fact a scale that converts 1/8 inch on the drawing to 1 foot. Once the scale of the drawing has been ascertained, select the correct scale on the ruler. Most architectural, construction and engineering drawings and blueprints are scaled to allow for large areas, structures or items to conveniently fit on a reasonable size of paper.īefore using an architect's scale or ruler, it is important to know the scale of the drawing or item that is being measured. Triangular scales can be purchased at drafting supply and art supply stores.An Architect's or scale ruler is designed for use in determining the actual dimensions of a distance on a scaled drawing. A triangular scale is a tool for checking the dimensions and scale and should not be used to draw lines as an alternative for a ruler.
RULER SCALE PORTABLE
There is also a more portable fan shaped five blade scale ruler which has the same functions.
This needs to be confirmed at the time of purchase.
In some triangular scales, the three faces are painted in different colors to prevent mistakes like these.Ī single triangular scale is scored with 6 different types of scales but the combination depends on whether it is for architectural use or for land and property surveys, etc. Using the wrong scale will result in major errors so the scale factor should be checked carefully before measuring. The scale factor is indicated on the left. With a triangular scale, 1:50 scale markings are already provided so the user can simply look for 1.8 on the markings. For example, when drawing a 1:50 blueprint, to represent a line which is 1.8m in actual size, one would have to divide 1800mm by 50 to get 36mm before drawing the line if only an ordinary ruler is available. Scale Rulers are designed for use in determining the actual dimensions of a distance on a scaled drawing or in modeling giving you the real life size of a. A triangular scale allows the user to check the dimensions without having to do the calculations to convert the measurements. Most blueprints are drawn scaled down rather than in their actual size. They should not be confused with set squares (triangular squares) which have a different shape and function altogether. Featured, Best selling, Alphabetically, A-Z, Alphabetically, Z-A, Price, low to high. Others are made of synthetic resin or aluminum. Some types have a bamboo core and are coated with other material on the surface. A triangular scale is a ruler that has a 3-lobed cross-section with 6 different types of scales on the edges (2 on each face) used for measuring and preparing scale drawings such as blueprints and maps.
