 What Is It

Select Plumbing Measuring Tools and Instruments

Measuring instrument is a device for measuring a physical quantity. In the physical

sciences, quality assurance, and engineering, measurement is the activity of obtaining and
comparing physical quantities of real world objects and events. Established standard objects and
events are used as units, and the process of measurement gives a number relating the item under
study and the referenced unit of measurement.

Measuring Instruments

PULL PUSH RULE (Tape Measure) is a flexible tape measure which is available in lengths up
to 50 feet. Other tapes that are 12 to 25 feet are usually considered adequate. Most tapes have
an automatic power return that is useful but not necessary.

Inside Caliper is used to measure the internal size of

an object.

Outside Caliper is used to measure the external size of an object.

2
Steel Square is a tool that carpenters and other tradesman use consisting of a large arm and a
smaller arm which meet at an angle 90˚.Today the steel square is more commonly referred to as
the framing square.

TRY SQUARE is a wood working or a metal working tool used for marking/measuring a piece of
wood. It is primarily used to measure the accuracy of right angle (90˚ degrees) tried on any surface
so as to check its straightness or correspondence to an adjoining surface.

Proper Handling of Measuring Instruments

How to Handle Measuring Tool

Each measuring tool has its specific way of handling. This must be followed by every
student user to maintain its usefulness. Listed below are some of the measuring tools, there are
also safety measures to be observed in handling each tool.

Measuring Tools

Inside Caliper is adjusted by rotating the screw to measure holes and diameters Avoid using tip
of the inside caliper to open the cover of any can. Avoid dropping it to maintain its accuracy in
taking measurements.

3
Outside Caliper is a tool used to measure the external size of an object. It is also adjusted by
rotating the screw to measure holes and diameters. Avoid using tip of the outside caliper to open
the cover of any can. Avoid dropping it to maintain its accuracy in taking measurements.

Steel Square. Hold the tool firmly and cautiously. See to it that it won‟t drop. It has a sharp pointed
end and dangerous.

TRY SQUARE. Hold the try-square properly to maintain its straight edges which are used to get
the desired angle. Don‟t use it for other purposes. Put it in its proper place.

PULL PUSH RULE (Tape Measure). Hold the tip of the pull push rule when removing it from its
housing. Put it slowly to avoid cut from the steel tape.

Summary

Measuring instrument is a device for measuring a physical quantity. In the physical

sciences, quality assurance, and engineering, measurement is the activity of obtaining and
comparing physical quantities of real world objects and events. Established standard objects and
events are used as units, and the process of measurement gives a number relating the item under
study and the referenced unit of measurement. Measuring instruments, and formal test
methods which define the instrument's use, are the means by which these relations of numbers
are obtained. All measuring instruments are subject to varying degrees of instrument
error and measurement uncertainty. These instruments may range from simple objects such
as rulers and stopwatches to electron microscopes and particle accelerators. Virtual
instrumentation is widely used in the development of modern measuring instruments.
