An engineer's scale is a special kind of ruler used in engineering drafting, such as for blueprints. The scale helps to make drawings that are a certain ratio of the size of the original. For example, 1:10 scale would produce a drawing that is one tenth the size of the original object.

How does chemistry applied in chemical engineer?

Chemical engineers study what chemists develop on a bench scale and we scale up this development to a macroscale for business purposes. Similar but very different. That isn't to say that chemical engineers don't do bench scale studies, but we prefer to work with refineries and sometimes with beakers.


Why do engineers today use scale models?

Engineers use scale models to visualize and test designs before full-scale construction, allowing them to identify potential issues and make adjustments more easily. Scale models enable simulations of real-world conditions, providing valuable insights into performance and functionality. Additionally, they facilitate communication with stakeholders by providing a tangible representation of concepts, making it easier to convey ideas and gather feedback. Overall, they help reduce costs and risks associated with large-scale projects.
