MEASURING TOOLS

AND INSTRUMENTS
Do you know what is measurement?
MEASUREMENT
Is the process or the result of determining
the ratio of a physical quantity, such as
length, time, temperature, etc., to a unit of
measurement, such as meter, second, or
degree Celsius.
The English word measurement
originates from the Latin word mēnsūra
and the verb metiri
through the Middle French mesure.
The science of measurement is called
metrology.
Kinds of Measuring Tools
TEST LIGHT
It is a pocket-sized tool used
to test the presence of current
in a circuit.
MICROMETER
It is used to measure the
diameter of wires/conductors
in circular mils.
WIRE GAUGE
It is used to determine the
size of wires.
RULER/FOOT RULE
It is used to measure length,
width, and thickness of short
flat objects and draw straight
lines.
PULL-PUSH RULE
It is used to measure the
length of an object in
centimetre and inches.
Kinds of Measuring Instruments
AMMETER
It is used to measure the amount
of electrical current intensity in a
circuit. The unit of measurement
is ampere (a). It is connected
along or series to the circuit.
VOLTMETER
It is used to measure the
electrical pressure or voltage of a
circuit. The unit of measurement
is volt (v). This is connected
across or parallel to the circuit.
CLAMP AMMETER
It is clamped or hung in a
conductor to measure the
current flowing.
VOLT-OHMMETER (VOM)
It is used to measure the
voltage, resistance, and
current of a circuit.
