temperature of gaseous, liquid or solid matter or of a
chemical reaction such as fire. Temperature measurement is important to a wide range of activities, including industry, scientific research, and health care. In health care, thermometers are used to measure the A tape measure or measuring tape is a
A tape measure or measuring tape is a
flexible ruler and used to measure distance. It consists of a ribbon of cloth, plastic, fibre glass, or metal strip with linear-measurement markings. It is a common measuring tool. Its design allows for a measure of great length to be easily carried in pocket or toolkit and permits one to measure around curves or corners
A protractor is a measuring instrument, typically made
of transparent plastic or glass, for measuring angles. Most protractors measure angles in degrees. Radian- scale protractors measure angles in radians. Most
protractors are divided into 180 equal parts.
A ruler, sometimes called a rule or line
gauge, is a device used in geometry and technical drawing, as well as the engineering and construction industries, to measure or draw straight lines.[1 A clock is an instrument used to measure, keep, and indicate time. The clock is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units: the day, the lunar month, and the year. Devices operating on several physical processes have been used over the millennia.
A pair of compasses, also known as a compass, is
a technical drawing instrument that can be used for inscribing circles or arcs. As dividers, they can also be used as tools to measure distances, in particular on maps. Compasses can be used for mathematics, drafting, navigation and other purposes
A sound level meter is used for acoustic measurements. It
is commonly a hand-held instrument with a microphone. The diaphragm of the microphone responds to changes in air pressure caused by sound waves. That is why the instrument is sometimes referred to as a Sound Pressure Level Meter
A light meter is a device used to measure the
amount of light. In photography, a light meter is often used to determine the proper exposure for a photograph.
