Metric Decimal System

The metric decimal system or simply the metric system: is a set of units of measurement, based on the meter and
related to each other by multiples or submultiples of 10.

It was implemented by the 1st General Conference on Weights and Measures (Paris, 1889). With the aim of establishing a system
unique for the whole world to facilitate exchange, since until then each country, and even each region, had its
own system often with the same denominations for the magnitudes, but with different value.

As a unit of length, the meter was adopted, defined as the ten-millionth part of the quadrant of the meridian.
terrestrial, whose pattern was reproduced in an irradiated platinum bar. The original was deposited in Paris and a copy was made.
for each of the twenty signatory countries of the agreement. The liter equivalent to was adopted as a measure of volume
cubic decimeter. As a measure of weight, the kilometer was adopted, mass of a liter of pure water.

Measuring instruments

The measuring instruments: are means by which magnitudes and lengths are quantitatively verified.
extensions, sizes, weights, calibers, a physical element, person and thing.

linear. Commonly we have the tape measure, rulers among others. These, especially, are the ones used in the
manufacturing.
DEVELOPMENT OF BASE PATTERN

The tracing instruments: these are those used exclusively for tracing. However, there are some
instruments that have both functions, for example, the straightedge. In any case, the marking instruments
they allow the delineation to be done correctly.

Making the pattern layout by hand can result in poor craftsmanship and consequently, a
garment of poor quality, with a very bad finish.

Ruler: a measuring instrument that has a scale usually in centimeters, millimeters, and inches. They can be
made of: metal, wood or plastic.

Square: It is a drafting tool used for making patterns, for drawing straight lines. Also as
linear support for tracing with another similar type of instrument. It has the shape of the letter 'L' and is commonly made of
metal (stainless steel, aluminum), wood, or plastic.

Curvimeter: a measuring instrument generally in centimeters used to determine the distances between two points.

Measuring tape: A measuring instrument used to take measurements.

Measurements: these are the ones taken from a person to make a piece of clothing.

Types of measurements:

Horizontal measurements: these are taken around the outline of a silhouette.

Importance:

Industrial measurements are worked through tables where all sizes are specified and they are important as they are possessed.
the standard measures.

Within industrial tables, we can find two types, they are:

American table: Its measurements are applied in inches, they can be found on the market in full sizes and with
venting, depending on the production line (ladies, gentlemen, girls, or boys).
Latin American table: Its measurements are applied in centimeters due to the anthropometric problem of the different
bodies, since there are different ancestries (African, European, and Latin). It starts from the universal constant
what is equivalent to size 10.

Size: Set of measurements that fit a body, industrial sizes are classified by number and change by two.
For example, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20. The size is important because it allows us to identify the established measurements by
the COVENIN standards.

Importance:

Humans are characterized by having different sizes according to gender. Each size has different measurements and is worked on.
by scale. According to this, each piece of clothing is made according to the measurements of the sizes.

Types:

It is where the sizes are identified by the letters XS, S, M, L, XL.

cardboard with the corresponding size.
