Mensuration and
Calculation
• Amperage (Amps) - a unit of measurement of electrical current flow
• Ampere - a unit of measurement which describes the amount of electric
current passing a certain point at a particular time
• Centimeter - hundredth of a meter
• Inch - a portion of a foot, which is an English unit of linear measurement
• Megger - an instrument used to measure the insulation resistance of
conductors or wire. It gives measurement in ohms or meg-ohms
• Millimeter - one-thousandth of a meter
• Multi-tester - an electrical measuring instrument used to measure the
voltage, the resistance or the current of a circuit. It is connected either
through parallel or series with the circuit depending on what to measure
• Ohm - the unit of measurement used to express resistance
• Ohmmeter - an instrument used to measure resistance in ohms
• Volt - a unit of measurement of electrical pressure or voltage
• Voltmeter - an instrument specially designed for measuring voltage
• Wire Gauge - used to measure the diameter of magnetic wire
 MEASURING
TOOLS AND
INSTRUMENTS
• Measurement is the process or the result of determining the
ratio of a physical quantity, such as a length, time,
temperature, etc., to a unit of measurement, such as the meter,
second or degree Celsius. The science of measurement is called
metrology.

• The English word measurement originates from the

Latin mēnsūra and the verb metiri through the
Middle French mesure.
