Frequency Meters A frequency meter is an instrument that displays the frequency of a periodic electrical signal. Various types of frequency meters are used. Many are instruments of the deflection type, ordinarily used for measuring low frequencies but capable of being used for frequencies as high as 900 Hz. Frequency meter, device for measuring the repetitions per unit of time (customarily, a second) of […]
Micrometer A micrometer is a widely used device in mechanical engineering for precisely measuring the thickness of blocks, outer and inner diameters of shafts, and depths of slots. Appearing frequently in metrology, the study of measurement, micrometers have several advantages over other types of measuring instruments like the Vernier caliper. Types The image shows three […]
Wrenches Your Complete Guide to Wrenches It’s been three years since the last post, but welcome back to our Toolmanship series! The goal of this series is to teach the very basics of tool use to those men who never got around to learning how to be handy when they were growing up. […]
Voltage Meters A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring electric potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. It is connected in parallel. It usually has a high resistance so that it takes a negligible current from the circuit. Analog voltmeters move a pointer across a scale in proportion to the voltage of the circuit; digital voltmeters give a […]
Vibration Meters Vibration Meter is an apparatus for measuring the displacement, velocity, or acceleration of a vibrating body.Vibration meters designed for easy on site vibration measuring of all rotating machinery, capable of measuring vibration risk measurement, machine monitoring or vibration analysis.The vibration is recorded with great precision. The devices are usually portable and their readings can […]
Calipers A caliper (British spelling also calliper) is a device used to measure the distance between two symmetrically opposing sides. A caliper can be as simple as a compass with inward or outward-facing points. The tips of the caliper are adjusted to fit across the points to be measured, the caliper is then removed […]
How to Use a Handsaw? Today we’ll give a rundown on the different types of handsaws out there and tips to get you sawing like a carpenter. Crosscut Saw or Rip Saw Before you put saw to wood, you need to determine what sort of saw you’ll need for your job. In the pantheon of […]
Screwdriver Parts of a Screwdriver The screwdriver consists of four parts: 1) The handle, 2) the shank, 3) the blade, and 4) the tip. Types of Screwdrivers Screwdrivers are distinguished from each other based on their tip and what type of screw they drive. The two most common screwdriver tips are 1) the slot head […]
Solar Power Meters Solar meters allow for the display of real-time PV energy production data. Solar meters can refer to pyranometers, which are used to measure solar radiation flux density (W/m2), or devices used to measure kWh production from a PV system. What are solar meters? Solar meters can refer to pyranometers, which are used to measure solar […]
Power Meters A power meter is a device fitted to a bike that measures the power output of the rider. Most commonly, power meters use strain gauges that deflect slightly when a force is applied. By measuring this torque and combining it with angular velocity, power (measured in watts) can be calculated. A cycling power meter is a device on a bicycle that measures the power output […]
