An altimeter is an instrument to measure altitude; the vertical distance between the altimeter and mean sea level. Please remember that altitude, elevation, and height are different. Altimeters can come in a watch (altimeter watch). This model is appropriate to use for hiking, mountain climbing, etc. This watch can be also equipped with a GPS … Read more
Any electronics circuit designer understands the importance of using the appropriate component in the design. That process begins by measuring the ESR values of different electrical components already in the design. That is where an ESR meter comes in. An Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) meter is a measuring instrument used for the actual capacitance measurements … Read more
The double square is one of the must-have woodworking and carpentry tools. Just like the speed square, try square, framing square, T square, and combination square, the double square works hand-in-glove to make your jobs such as squareness checking, marking, layout, and scribing become easier. Professionals should have them all because when it comes down … Read more
Wall, floor, and even ceilings in your house is becoming congested with networking, telephone, and electrical cables. That poses a challenge to engineers and technicians who want to add other hidden wires or even repair them. The danger of damaging the existing one and causing mess is at its all-time high. Fortunately, there are instruments … Read more
A precision tape measure is one of the most essential tools in your toolbox if you need high accuracy of measurement using a tape measure. Simply, Class 1 tape measures are considered as the precision tape measures due to its precision specification on its graduation. Builders, masons, metalworkers, woodworkers, carpenters, machinists, homeowners, etc use it … Read more
A tachometer is a measuring tool that functions to measure the RPM (revolution per minute) of a particular rotating object. For instance, if you are going to measure the RPM speed of a spindle motor of a milling machine, this device is able to do that. People use this device in many areas such as … Read more
The best height gauge is important and a very helpful tool for machinists. It is used for measuring the height of small parts, comparing the heights, and marking them. You can use it to measure the difference in height of 2 points as well. A high spec electronic height gauge is able to carry out … Read more
Capacitance is the electronic component’s ability to store energy (in the form of an electric charge) that is generated by different voltages. The electronic component that stores energy is called a capacitor. To measure the capacitance of a capacitor, we need an electronic measurement device that is called a capacitor tester or capacitance tester. To … Read more
Amongst the other types of calipers, the dial caliper stands out on the mid-choice. Dial caliper measures in great resolution, easy to read, faster measurement, and less error. Aside from that, a dial caliper doesn’t depend on battery power. When you are trying to get the best dial caliper, there are some considerations such as … Read more
A spectrum analyzer is a test instrument that functions to measure and visualize the signal amplitude over a certain frequency range. The screen visualizes them in a graphic of amplitude vs frequency. The signal amplitude is displayed on the Y-axis, while the frequency range is displayed on the X-axis. The signal amplitude is commonly expressed … Read more
