One thing you have to always keep in mind when using a dial indicator is the angle that it shapes to the surface must be 90°. In other words, the plunger and the surface being measured must be perpendicular. This angle is important in order to obtain correct measurement results and prevent cosine error. Though … Read more
A digital dial indicator or commonly referred to the digital indicator is the electronic type of dial indicator. When people demand speed, a digital indicator excels it. Instead of calculating the two scales, a digital indicator shows the reading on the screen which lets you quickly know the measurement result. You don’t need to manually … Read more
You are indeed about to use a multimeter, oscilloscope, clamp meter, capacitor tester, etc which are classified as electronic measuring instruments when your job is in regard to the electronic world. Some of the electronic measuring instrument’s basic working principle is to send or create signals to stimulate and get the responses of electronic components … Read more
Dial bore gauge allows you to measure the internal diameter of a cylinder hole with better speed and accuracy. As the name suggests, it comes with a dial indicator to display the reading in real-time. The long shaft lets you reach the internal diameter down the deeper area. Since it’s used to measure the hole’s … Read more
So you want an accurate timekeeping device present in your life (office, house, school, etc.)? The answer is atomic clock. It’s way more accurate than quartz crystal and pendulum clocks. Pressure and temperature cause quartz crystal and pendulum clocks to lose time. But, this is not the copied NIST-F1 atomic clock located in Colorado to … Read more
An altimeter is an instrument to measure altitude; the vertical distance between the altimeter and mean sea level. Please remember that altitude, elevation, and height are different. Altimeters can come in a watch (altimeter watch). This model is appropriate to use for hiking, mountain climbing, etc. This watch can be also equipped with a GPS … Read more
A protractor is an essential tool to measure an angle. It’s also used to draw an angle. There are several types of protractors. And, due to its shape, we cannot use a certain type for any purpose. The protractor used to measure a 2D angle is different from a 3D angle. In terms of their … Read more
Working or simply being a hobbyist in the electronic world will soon force you to need and use the test instrument called an oscilloscope. An oscilloscope provides you more information than the standard multimeter (both analog and digital) by graphically showing you the waveform of voltage that can then be analyzed for some properties such … Read more
Accuracy and simplicity are two priority things in metalworking. And that’s why designers and engineers use varieties of measuring tools in workshops. There are a lot of tools we might need to design our complete model. And thus, we are here to summarize each of the tools we might need in metalworking workshops. In each … Read more
Both digital and non-digital, there are several tools to measure the angles that you have to know. This can be important to enrich your idea and ability to solve different problems during work sich each of them is used for different purposes. So, this page may help you decide which one is suitable for you. … Read more
