TERPRETING TECHNICAL DRAWING (PITD)
(Identify and Interpret the Different Kinds of
Technical Drawings)

I.INTRODUCTION
This module covers the knowledge, skills, attitude, and values needed to prepare/interpret diagrams,
engineering abbreviation and drawings, symbols and dimensions. The scope of this module permits it
to be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary
level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the
order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using

II.OBJECTIVES
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. Select correct technical drawing in accordance with the job requirement
2. Segregate technical drawings in accordance with the types and kinds of drawings

LESSON IDENTIFY THE DIFFERENT

1 KINDS OF TECHNICAL
DRAWING

Technical drawing is essential for communicating ideas in industry and engineering. To make
the drawings easier to understand, people use familiar symbols, perspectives, units of measurement,
notation systems, visual styles, and page layout. Together, such conventions constitute a visual
language and help to ensure that the drawing is unambiguous and relatively easy to understand.

What is It

What is a Flowchart?

Every now and then, you come across different troubleshooting flowcharts especially when you
service in a computer system. These are normally in the form of a decision tree which gradually
focuses on a solution based on the criteria set. The usefulness of your flowchart depends on how
you manage the problems that are answerable using a simple True/False solution. A well-crafted
flowchart can shorten the problem-solving time.
 Flowcharts are easy to understand diagrams that show the different steps in solving a
specific problem. Easiness is the key to make flowchart more useful in communicating how
processes works, and for documenting how to do a specific task.

When to use a Flow Chart?

Flowchart is a very simple yet powerful tool to improve productivity in both our personal and
work life. Here are some ways flowchart can be helpful:

• Document a process
• Present a solution
• Brainstorm an idea
• Design a system
• Explain a decision-making process
• Store information

What are the Basic Symbols of Flowchart?

A flowchart is commonly used by systems analysts to visualize the series of processes in a

business system. A flowchart is a useful tool to design an efficient business system and to
troubleshoot or improve an existing system. A flowchart consists of elements, such as the
terminator, process, sub process, decision, arrow lines, and connectors.

1. Terminator

Start / End
Terminator Symbol

A terminator is represented by a small rectangle with curved corners. A terminator appears at the
start and at the end of a flowchart. The end terminator appears only once on a single flowchart.

2. Process

Instructions /
Process Symbol
Actions
 A process is represented by a rectangle. It refers to an action in a business process. It must be
described clearly and concisely. A process can be described using a single verb noun phrase; for
example, "Order Office Supplies." The same level of detail must be kept in processes on a single
flowchart.

3. Decision

DecisionDecision Symbol

A decision is represented by a diamond. A process that can answer a decision of "yes" or "no"
requires a decision box.

4. Input and Output

Input and
Output Input and Output Symbol

The Parallelogram features Input and Output, which cover such things as materials, services, and
even individuals going into or exiting the process.

5. Connector

Connector Symbol

A connector is represented by a small circle or a connector box and is labelled using letters. A
flowchart written on a single page is clearer than a flowchart on several pages. A connector
ensures that the processes are connected logically and correctly on several pages.

6. Arrow Lines
Flow Lines Symbol

Arrow lines drawn in one direction, preferably from top to bottom, keep a flowchart
clear. Avoid arrow lines that loop because this could indicate redundancy in the business process.
HOW TO CREATE FLOW CHART

1. Identify Tasks. You must list all the tasks in a process in chronological order. Consider the
following questions as your guide:

a. What happens next in the process?

b. Do you need to make a decision before the next step?
c. What approvals are required before you move on to the next task?

2. Organize and Document Tasks. Begin with a rounded rectangle labeled START. From
there, go through the sequences which must include every action and decision in the intended
order. Use arrows to connect them with one another and to indicate the direction of the
process flow. Decisions should be directed by an arrow from the decision diamond to
whatever possible solutions are available. The arrow should also be labeled with a decision,
such as YES, or a NO. The termination of the process must be marked by a rounded rectangle
labeled FINISH or END.
3. Test. Double-check the flow to make sure that you haven’t overlooked anything.

OTHER ELEMENTS OF A TECHNICAL DRAWING

Other than a flowchart, there are several elements that you can still use to represent your
process flows, such as:

• Schematic diagram
• Layout Plan
• Loop diagram
• Chart
• Block diagram

Each of these elements will be discussed in the following pages.

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM

A schematic diagram is a representation of system elements that are abstract or symbols

which are graphical in nature. It removes all the irrelevant information.

In the data processing cycle example below, Input/ Output Devices are represented by a
rectangle. The rectangles don’t resemble the actual devices but give you information without
unnecessary visual clutter. The same logic goes with the flow of the data and how they are being
processed, stored, and retrieved from the CPU and computer memory.

CHART

A chart is a diagram that displays the relationship of at least two variables. It is often used
to easily interpret large quantities of data and relationship between their parts.

There are four common charts:

• Histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of numerical data.

Histogram

• Bar Chart is a graphical representation of grouped data

Bar Chart

• Pie Chart is a graphical representation of quantifiable data represented by a sectioned

circle much like a pie that’s been cut with the slices varying in size.
 Pie Chart

• Line Chart is a graphical representation of

information as a series of data points
connected by line segments.

Line Chart

BLOCK DIAGRAMS

A block diagram is a specialized type of flowchart. It represents an encompassing view of

major process steps, including the relationships and interfaces.

Down Regulator
Rectifier Circuit Battery

Power supply to all sections

LAYOUT PLANS

A layout is a tool to arrange a workplace, like in a plant, organization, or computer

laboratory in your school. It shows how the computers should be located and arranged properly
according to specifications like the size of the room
and number of units to be installed.

Computer Laboratory Layout Plan

LOOP DIAGRAM

A loop diagram aids you visualizing how items in a system are interrelated. It consists of a set
of nodes that represents the item, and edges that each represents a connection between two items.

What I Can Do
Direction: Using the basic symbols used for flowchart, make your own simple
flowchart to illustrate the process of cleaning the computer parts and peripherals properly.
Include the given activities below.

1. Preparation of cleaning tools

2. Identifying the parts to be clean

3. Cleaning the different peripheral
