The utilities of measurifg intruments

THE INTRUMENTS
Measurig intruments are the means by which this conversion or measurement is made. Two
important charecteristics of measuring intrument are appretion and sentivity.
Appreciaton id the mínimum amount that is intrument can meauser of a centain magnitude and
unit, that is, the interval between two successive division of its scale.
A measurig intrument is a apparatus which is used ti measure a physical magnitude. The
measurement is the process that allows you to obtain and compare physical quantities
Relur
Intrument rectangular shape and of Little
tickness, whinch can be made of diferrent rigid
materials, that mainly serves to measuren the
distance between two pints or to draw staight
lines . Whe measuring with the rule we must take
the precaution of starling the measurement from
the zero of de escale.
Metro folding
used to measure distances with an appreciation of
1 mm. This instrument usually has the zero of the
scale coinciding with its end, so in this case it must
be measured starting from it. They usually have a
length of 1m or 2m.
Measurin tape
Metric tapes, also known as flexometers or
measuring tape, are measuring instruments,
which have longitudinally marked lines where
the measurement units and their divisions can
be observed. We can consider them manual
tools of indispensable use, since they are
needed at all times, for diverse activities.
Caliber
The caliber, also called gauge, sliding bevel
or caliper, is a measuring instrument, mainly
of external diameters, interior and depth,
used in the industrial field. The vernier is an
auxiliary scale that slides along a main scale
to allow exact fractional readings of the
minimum division.
Micrometer or micrometre
Micrometer. Also known as the "Palmer
Calibrator", it is an instrument used to
measure exterior or interior lengths with high
precision (depending on the model) based on
the rotation of a screw whose axial
displacement is proportional to its angular
displacement.
Ammeter or ammetre
Ammeter is an apparatus or instrument that
allows measuring the intensity of electrical
current, presenting directly on its calibrated
scale the units used for it called amperes or
fractions of amperes, the desired
measurement.
Voltimeter or voltimetre Multimeter or multimetre

instrument that measures the voltage or A multimeter, sometimes also called a

voltage applied in itsterminals (how many multimeter or tester, is a measuring instrument
volts or electromotive force there are at the that offers the possibility of measuring
points of the circuit whereconnect the different electrical parameters and
terminals of the instrument). magnitudes in the same device.
Squad
are those that have millimeter or inch scales,
and directly give the value of a length.There
are some to take approximate
measurements, such as the meter and the
rules, and others of greater precision, which
can measure up to hundredths of a
millimeter, such as calibers, micrometers, etc.
Goniometer or goniometre
A goniometer is a device in the form of a
semicircle or circle graduated in 180º or
360º, used to measure or construct angles.
This instrument allows you to measure angles
between two objects, such as two points on a
coast, or a star, usually the Sun, and the
horizon.
Level
A level is a measuring instrument that is
used to determine the horizontality or
verticality of an element. There are
different types and are used by
surveyors, carpenters, bricklayers,
blacksmiths, aluminum workers,
photographers and others.
Gramil
Gramil. Measurement instrument, is
generally used to transfer measurements
to a part by marking a line and to
indicate the accuracy or parallelism of
surfaces. It is usually constructed of light
and resistant wood.
