  Measuring Tools 

Measuring Tools:-

             "Measuring tools are service tools they are used to measure the dimension of an object."

Measuring tools are important tools in automobile workshop. It helps mechanic to measure the sizes and dimensions of various components of automobile. Measuring tools are commonly used. Auto mechanic should know the use and handling of these tools.

Important measuring tools are steel rule, caliper, multi meter, screw gauge, multi meter, hydrometer etc.

Various measuring Tools:-

 Steel ruler :-A steel ruler is an instrument used in geometry, technical drawing, printing and engineering/building to measure distances and/or to rule straight lines. Metal is used for more durable rulers for use in the workshop.

Caliper:-A caliper is a device used to measure the distance between two opposing sides of an object.

The calipers mainly classified basically two types,

    1. Inside caliper

    2.Outside caliper

Inside caliper:- Inside calipers are measuring tools they are used to measure the inside dimension of an object.

Outside caliper:- Outside calipers are measuring tools they are used to measure the outside dimension of an object.

How to measure the dimension using calipers.

     The tips of the caliper are adjusted to fit across the points to be measured, the caliper is then removed and the distance read by measuring between the tips with a measuring tool, such as a ruler.

 It is used in many fields such as mechanical engineering, metalworking, woodworking, science and medicine.

    Micrometer is works on the principal of screw and nut and a screw to amplify small distances that are too small to measure directly into large rotations of the screw that are big enough to read from a scale.
