We use the spirit level in many practical fields such as in CNC machine, building, carpentry, masonry, etc to ascertain the levelness of a surface. Not only does it check for levelness, but plumb and 45-degree slope are also subjects to check with this tool. In this post, we are trying to explain the best … Read more
Maybe, you are searching for an electrical measuring device that can measure the current. You know they are either multimeter or clamp meter. But, you are not sure which one to choose from. Because getting a little confused about how one differs from another, you start to dig more information about how they contrast to … Read more
Among the tools available to measure an angle, a protractor (or engineering protractor) is a simple mathematical and geometrical instrument used for drawing, measuring, and plotting angles. Protractor has a scale that is graduated in angular unit degree, on its outer most circular edge and has a vertex mark right at its center of its … Read more
Many of the experiments performed in advanced laboratories make use of an oscilloscope and a function generator. That said, understanding what they are and how they function is crucial, as is presented in the difference between the two. This article mostly provides an overview of the two and how they differ in terms of operation, … Read more
The reliability of handheld tools like calipers is frequently required in many areas that need higher accuracy and precision such as in engineering, metrology, manufacturing, quality control, 3D printing, etc. However, behind its advantage, these measuring tools are important to keep them well maintained to give accurate readings with extended life. The care includes regular … Read more
LCR meter and multimeter are one of the most if not the most important measuring instruments for an electrical engineer. A Multimeter is often the first choice for a hobbyist or a student getting into the industry. Further, with an advanced understanding of the fundamental concepts, instruments such as an LCR meter might come in … Read more
The degree of how an object is exactly like a square shape is squareness. It has a correlation with straightness, perpendicularity, parallelism, and 90-degree angle. And we express squareness in a tolerance value. One of the prevalent shapes used as a reference for geometric conformity of squareness is a square tool. However, there are many … Read more
Signal generator and function generator, both devices are used in testing, designing, and troubleshooting circuits by producing desired test signals. The two instruments may sound similar but there are some key differences that differentiate them from each other. So, through this page, we will have a close look at what each of these instruments has … Read more
Geiger counter is quite easy to handle and only needs related technical knowledge about the type, nature, energy level of radiation, and how to safely measure the specific type of radiation coming from a radioactive source. To accurately measure radiation, you need to know how to read the Geiger counter for any radiation type. How … Read more
The Geiger counter is not the only instrument to measure radiation. There are several instruments that you may want to search further. Even, they may be more accurate than a Geiger counter. In this post, we are showing 8 models of instruments to measure ionizing radiation. 1. Geiger Counter Developed in 1928, the Geiger counter … Read more
