Measuring Tools
Measuring instruments includes a vast amount of tools and instruments used for measuring. This would include micrometers (various types for various applications), scaled rules, durometers, spectrometers, tape measures, dumpy levels, spirit levels, combination sets, gauge blocks, vernier calipers, dial indicators, inside and outside calipers, etc.

Usually, calipers. an instrument for measuring thicknesses and internal or external diameters inaccessible to a scale, consisting usually of a pair of adjustable pivoted legs.2.any of various calibrated instruments for measuring thicknesses or distances between surfaces, usually having a screwed or sliding adjustable piece. Compare vernier caliper.3.thickness or depth, as of paper or a tree.4.Usually, calipers. the pincers of an earwig.5.Automotive. the part of a disc-brake assembly that straddles the disc and presses the brake pads against it.6.a similar part used with a hand brake on a bicycle.
The caliper measures thicknesses and internal or external diameters inaccessible to a scale, consisting usually of a pair of adjustable pivoted legs.
Another possibility would be an automotive brake caliper. A brake caliper squeezes the disc brake pads against the rotor to stop or slow down rotation.

How can I calibrate a micrometer without the use of gage blocks. Any adjustments on the device?
Micrometer is a caliper used for measuring small distances.
Another AnswerIn British English, a micrometer is an instrument used to measure small distances.
In US English, it can mean the same thing, but it can also mean a unit of measurement of one-millionth of a meter (in British English, one-millionth of a metre is spelt, 'micrometre').
What are caliper pins
The caliper pins hold the caliper in place and allow it to slide to make up for pad wear.
UP in tyhe sky ok :) :) :)
Gauge pressure and absolute pressure?
Gauge pressure is what you get when you take the reading from your tire pressure gauge. Absolute pressure is the pressure inside your tires plus the atmospheric pressure, which is roughly; 14.7 psi, 101.3 kPa (kilo-Pascals), or one atmosphere. Absolute pressure measures all of the pressure on your tires, inside and out, whereas gauge simply measures the pressure inside the tire.
accurate measurements is one of the basic skills to be mastered in wood working
ANS 2 -Measuring tools would include rulers, tape measures, protractors, micrometers, calipers (inside and outside), and laser tapes.
Electrical conduit length is there a tool to measuring the conduit underground?
Well yes there is its called electricians conduit measuring tool we found it on u tube . go to superconduits and watch the video .
Welding technology objective type Question paper with answer.?
pipeline welding You could find them from many welding institutes round the world. check the websites.
How does a spring balance work?
to measure the weight of an object, hang the object on the hook of the balance, lift up the balance and take the reading.
OR to measure the force needed to pull an object, attach an object to the hook of the balance, pull the balance and take the reading when the object moves.
The normal size of a ruler should be 12 inches or 30cm.
(30 cm=300 mm)
(1 in=25 mm)
What would you use to measure the volume of a marble?
The easiest way is to get a small measuring cup with fractions of ounces and fill it to the one-ounce mark with water or another suitable liquid. Then drop the marble in and subtract 1 ounce from the new measurement. If you can't find a small measuring cup, use a large one and use more marbles, then divide your results by the number of marbles used. If you can't do that, then somehow measure the diameter of the marble, divide it by 2 to find the radius, and plug it into this formula: (4 . pi . r3) / 3 = volume of sphere. Answer: Obviously the use of a graduated cylinder wuld make the process more accurate than using a measuring cup as it is marked in 1 ml increments. Alternately the marble can be weigher and the indicated mass multiplied by the typical specific gravity of glass (2.58) to give the volume
How do you read a measuring tape?
It depends upon what kind of tape it is, how the graduations are sized, what tension the tape is held at, and (for a surveyor's tape) whether the first foot or dm is forward or backward from the zero point.
The astrolabe was used by the ancients ( III siecle B.C. in Greece)
for observing the relative positions and altitudes of celestial bodies.
In the Middle Age it become a navigational instrument by the addition
of tables of the Sun´s declination ( angular distance north or south of
the celestial equator), which permitted the sea Navigants to find their
latitude.
In its earlier form it consisted of a disk of wood suspended by a ring.
Around the disk edge were marked the degrees of the circle; a pointer
along which the sun or another star could be sighted was pivoted on a
center pin.
Later on the astrolabes were often made of metal with a plate with the
map of the stars and the zodiac circle on the reverse side. It was then
possible determine the time of the day: after measuring the sun´s altitude,
its position was noted on the circle of tfuyjfyjytjfhe zodiac, a line drawn to a circle
of hours showed the time.
What is The tool to measure an irregular shape?
The answer depends on what characteristic you want to measure: its perimeter, area, mass, temperature, albedo, etc.
Process of Measuring Horizontal Angles Using a Theodolite 1. Setting up the Theodolite: This includes mounting the theodolite on a tripod and making sure it is comfortable for the user. 2. Unlock the upper horizontal clamp. 3. Rotate the theodolite until the arrow in the upper or lower rough sight points to the feature of interest and lock the clamp. 4. Look through the main eyepiece and use the upper horizontal adjuster to align the vertical lines on the feature of interest. 5. The reading is taken by looking through the small eyepiece. Using the minutes and seconds adjuster set the one of the degrees on the horizontal scale so the single vertical line on the bottom scale is between the double vertical lines under the selected degree. 6. The reading is the degree which has been aligned and the minutes and seconds read from the right hand scale and is the horizontal angle from the reference line. Process of Measuring Vertical Angles Using a Theodolite
Process of Measuring Vertical Angles 1. Setting up the Theodolite: This includes mounting the theodolite on a tripod and making sure it is comfortable for the user. 2. Unlock the vertical clamp and tilt the eyepiece until the point of interest is aligned on the horizontal lines. Lock the clamp in place. 3. Looking through the small eyepiece, use the minutes and seconds adjuster to align one of the degrees on the vertical scale with the double lines just below it. 4. The reading is the degree that has been aligned and the minutes and seconds is read from the right hand scale. 5. To complete the reading, it may be necessary to measure the distance from the theodolite to the point of interest.
The above is al true, but doesn't discuss the practical uses of a theodolite. For example, if you want to know the height of the top of the gable on a house, you could use a theodolite. First, set up the theodolite (btw, I made one with a piece of copper tube, a protractor and a cheap wooden tripod) as noted above, make sure the ground is pretty level between the house and the theodolite, and then measure the distance from the vertical side of the house to the theodolite. (You may choose to move the theodolite so that the distance is the square of a whole number.) Then aim the scope (tube) at the upper-most point of the gable and note the degree of angle on the protractor. If you have pretty level ground between the theodolite and the house, the angle at the intersection of the side of the house and the ground should be 90 degrees. So, now we have two angles (the 90 degrees at the intersection of the side of the house and the ground, and whatever angle you recorded at the theodolite) and a side (the distance from the house to the theodolite). With this information, you can calculate the third angle and the other two sides, one of which will be the hypotenuse and the other will be -- tada! -- the final leg, which will tell you the height of the point you picked out at the top of the gable.
