You may have heard that a particular precision measuring tool has a certain tolerance number, for example, ±0.001mm like the Mitutoyo Micrometer 293-340 series have. You can find it as well on the other precision tools. What is it actually? Tolerance can be defined as the total allowable amount by which a measurement may vary. … Read more

Parallelism and flatness are two terms in measurement that contribute to the accuracy of your precision instrument. Especially when working with a micrometer, the flatness of the flat anvil must have a good condition. Besides, when dealing with gauge blocks, the gauge blocks’ flatness and parallelism determine their grade. But what are actually parallelism and … Read more

As a precision tool, you need to pay attention to the guidelines on how to use the caliper properly, be it the vernier, dial, or digital models.  This is not only giving you a long-lasting tool (that saves money) but also increases the confidence that your measurement is reliable. Taking care of the calipers doesn’t … Read more

As there are different types of square tools you can choose, picking the right one is important to match the type of your work and accomplish your project swiftly. Unfortunately, having the right tool is not enough, you have to make sure that this square tool is accurate as well. So, what to know that … Read more

Like many other squares, engineer square and combination square can help you establish the right angle, squareness, and perpendicularity. But, they are comparable to doing a certain job. The core difference between engineer square and combination square is accuracy. The engineer square or machinist square is the most precise square among the square models available. … Read more

The handling and general storage of measuring tools and equipment are important for maintaining their accuracy. It includes the feeler gauge, a simple tool that comes commonly in a set consisting of several blades of different thicknesses. According to the ISO 17025 standards, the feeler gauge equipment in laboratories and industries is to be kept … Read more

We use the spirit level in many practical fields such as in CNC machine, building, carpentry, masonry, etc to ascertain the levelness of a surface. Not only does it check for levelness, but plumb and 45-degree slope are also subjects to check with this tool. In this post, we are trying to explain the best … Read more

In physics, we frequently come across confusing terms, which may require further attention to understand for some people. Some of those terms are distance and displacement. Actually, these two terms are used to express length. But in physics, it’s too rough to say length. Therefore, the term “length” needs to be detailed. In our life, … Read more

Accuracy and precision are some of the most fundamental things in measurement system. These two terms represent how good a certain measuring/sensing instrument. It determines how appropriate a measuring instrument to a particular application. However, in some cases, it’s kind of confusing to differentiate them. Sometimes people say, it’s a high precision instrument. On the … Read more

In woodworking, to measure the dimensions of different parts which are to be crafted or joined together, different tools are used. To check of the two meeting surfaces whether they are perpendicular to each other, squares are used. These square tools commonly consist of two blades that are fixed perpendicular to each other. The angle … Read more
