MEASURING TOOLS AND
INSTRUMENTS
Measurement is the process or the result of
determining the ratio of a physical quantity,
such as a length, time, temperature, etc., to a
unit of measurement, such as the meter,
second or degree Celsius. The science of
measurement is called metrology.
Different kinds of measuring
tools and precision measuring
instruments are as follows:
FURTHER READINGS:
Amperage (Amps) - a unit of
measurement of electrical
current flow.
•Ampere - a unit of
measurement which describes
the amount of electric current
passing a certain point at a
particular time.
Centimeter - hundredth of a meter
Inch - a portion of a foot, which is
an English unit of linear
measurement.
Megger - an instrument used to
measure the insulation
resistance of conductors or wire.
It gives measurement in ohms or
meg-ohms.
• Millimeter -
one-thousandth
of a meter.
Multi-tester - an electrical
measuring instrument used to
measure the voltage, the
resistance or the current of a
circuit. It is connected either
through parallel or series with
the circuit depending on what to
measure.
•Ohm - the unit of
measurement used to
express resistance.
