NOTE

PLAIN SCALES

A plain scale, also known as a linear scale, is a measuring tool used in technical drawing, engineering, architecture, and other fields. It consists of a straight line divided into evenly spaced increments, each representing a specific unit of measurement, such as inches, centimeters, or millimeters.

The term scale also refer to the ratio of the size of a drawing to the size of the actual object. The ratio or fraction is called the representative fraction of the scale.

The Representative fraction (R.F) = distance or size represented.

The following are the common used RF:

1:1 Full size image

1:2 Half full size

1:5 One - fifth full size

1:10 One - tenth full size

5:1 Five times the full size

Uses of plain scales

The primary uses of plain scales include:

  1. Engineers, architects, and designers use plain scales to measure distances on blueprints, technical drawings, and maps accurately.
  2. Plain scales enable the conversion of distances on paper to real-world distances. By using the scale provided on a drawing, one can determine the actual dimensions of objects being represented.
  3. Artists and drafters use plain scales to draw accurate lines and shapes to scale. By referencing the scale, they ensure that their drawings are proportional and correctly sized.
  4. Plain scales can also be used for rough estimation. By quickly measuring distances on a map or drawing, one can estimate lengths without the need for precise measurements.
