Repeatability in measurement is a vital aspect when it comes to precision in measurement. Along with reproducibility, you get two aspects of precision to analyze. They show how consistent a repeated measurement is. As a result, it generates a reliable measurement. Learning about measurement repeatability is not only important in the field of metrology but … Read more
In spite of secondary tools, micrometer accessories are some additional tools to make the micrometer work better and they cannot be underestimated. If you are planning to purchase a new micrometer, you may need to get a clear view of the accessories of your micrometer needs as this precision tool can be treated without proper … Read more
Different types of tools are used to mark lines and measure the dimensions in wood and metalworking. The square tool is one of the common, durable, straightforward, and easy-to-use tools for those purposes. Basically, all square tools have two sides of their body perpendicular and it functions to check the right angles. However, the square … Read more
The other square models that are interesting to learn how they are comparable are the framing square and speed square. These two models are significantly different in several points such as shape, applications, how we use them, features, and the ability to check outside right angle. Meanwhile, they have several similarities such as material, ability … Read more
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
