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.

What is a skinfold caliper?

A caliper to measure BMI ( Body Mass Index.) -or in other words, how fat you are.

What kind of tool would you use to measure a beetle?

well the tool would use a triple beam balance because it has more mass.

Why do you think that the clinical thermometer has a short range of temperature?

It is designed to measure the temperature of the human body and so does not require a long range.

Which is the best biometric attendance system?

Well the best way would be to implant a chip in all students (like you do with pets) and put a chip reader in all the school doors, this would record when every student entered and left a room.

Which is more accurate an ordinary plastic ruler or a vernier caliper?

The vernier caliper is more accurate that a plastic ruler. That's because the caliper is designed to be used and effectively read to measure small distances. And it does this better than a "regular" ruler because it has a vernier scale built into it. It's like an "amplified ruler" attached to the device that has increased accuracy. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the vernier caliper and to the one on the vernier scale. Check out the pictures and skim the details. You should be able to pick it up with a bit of thought.

What is spruz?

Spruz is a social network platform that enables you to make and maintain your own online community. It was started in 2007. It is also very affordable and easy to use. It empowers brands to make their own focused online communities.

What is the net force on a force gauge?

If the force gauge isn't moving, the the net force must needs be zero.

What can you use instead of Teflon tape to seal the joint between a 34-inch copper male threaded connector to a female 34-inch steel water filter connection?

Not a good idea to connect Copper to Steel (Hopefully Galvanized (sp)) Many products are available. Check out any hardware store or home improvement center. (New Commentator) Rarely is Teflon tape a good idea. A fragment can and will break off, affecting something down the line.(valves,gauges,etc.) "Dope" is usually a better solution.(we are speaking of pipe dope here) What the earlier commentator what trying to get you to understand, is that when two metals meet, a battery is created. Steel and copper will interact with each other even on a low temperature(lower energy)line. Both materials will be affected,corroded, and your line will eventually clog,as it rots. Uniform materials might seem less expensive in the short term, but, in the long term, which depending on a number of variables, may only a few years, can cause a complete do over. (Very expensive) Prior commentator was hoping at least, you meant galvanized steel, because, the death of your pipes will be delayed a bit. If you can,change the female to copper. Just make sure the wall is thick enough. Try to use 'western' plumbing materials. There is a reason they cost more, and most of that reason is more uniform standards, better casts, threads that actually make a secure join, and try to stay away from the plastics. If you do the job right, you shouldn't have to do it again.

Why does my Scale only work one time after putting in battery?

Several things might be wrong; it may be that the scale is broken, that the battery isn't working, or that there is a bad contact with the battery. You might try with another battery, if you suspect the battery.

What type of police radar is used in New York state?

"Radar" is a type of speed timing device employing only one specific technology.

The commonly used generic term 'radar' has come to describe ANY speed timing device, including other technologies such as lasers, and highly sophisticated 'elapsed time' measuring systems.

Law enforcement may use any or all of them and they are produced by several different manufacturers. Contact your local law enforcement agency and I'm sure they would be happy to give you the information on the type(s) they use.

What tools does a doctor use?

Some of the tools that a registered nurse uses include a stethoscope, a blood pressure cuff, and syringes. A registered nurse will also use a computer, an autoclave, and even bandages and scalpels in some cases.

How do they measure computer screens?

you measure the computer screen diagonally, so if you have a 17" computer screen, and you measure it straight from side to side, then its not 17". You have to measure diagonally. I.e. Top left coner of the screen ( do not include the housing) to the bottom right side of the screen

What is the function of triple beam balance?

The triple beam balance is used to weigh an object's mass in grams.

What is screw guage?

A device used in manufacturing and engineering, to determine whether a dimension is larger or smaller than a reference standard.

A snap gauge, for example, is formed like the letter C, with outer "go" and inner "not go" jaws, and is used to check diameters, lengths, and thicknesses. Screw-thread pitch gauges have triangular serrations spaced to correspond with various pitches, or numbers of threads per inch or per centimeter.

What would you use to measure 1 C flour?

You would use a dry matter cup.. Usually plastic or metal, l know that they have 1 Cup container, they might have 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup and everything like that too but l'm not sure, l hope l helped you a little bit. :)

How do you remove a stripped bolt on 05 altima caliper?

Purchase the appropriate sized easy out and drill bit from an auto parts store and drill into the center of the bolt head, you then insert the easy out and its reverse threads will back the bolt out. ( as you tighten the easy out counterclockwise the bolt will loosen )

Why people needed to measure time?

One of the first reasons early people needed to measure time was to know when to plant and harvest their crops.

Why is it better to use a magnetic compass to find directions more than the stars and the sun?

It isn't.

Navigation by the stars is far more accurate than navigation with a compass, as magnetic north is different at different locations while north determined by the stars is the same at all locations.

How we can check the frequency in Hertz in our home electric current?

A frequency counter is the most accurate way. As stated above some digital multimeters include this feature, but stand alone frequency counters are also available.

Another way is to use an oscilloscope and measure the period of one cycle, then calculate the frequency as the reciprocal of the period you measured.

Another way is to use a multiple tuning fork frequency meter. These devices have perhaps a dozen tuning forks tuned to different frequencies (with the 60 Hz fork in the center, lower frequency forks to the left, and higher frequency forks to the right) and an electromagnetic excitation coil. The tuning fork(s) closest in frequency to the powerline will vibrate and the others will remain stationary, allowing you to read the frequency. They are a bit course in their measurement, but usually can identify differences of about 0.1 Hz.

However, if your home is powered from the national power grid (not a local generator) the frequency is required to be 60 Hz to a precision that a clock synchronized to the power line will never be more then 10 seconds fast or slow of the correct time, although the line frequency might be high or low for short periods as much as a couple Hz.

How many 2 x 2 LEGO bricks would it take to build a 12 x 12 foot house?

If it is a 2x2x2 and a 12x12x12 house then you find the volumes and divide

12x12x12/(2x2x2)=216

Else it is this, by using area

12x12/(2x2)=36
