The question might arise from you when trying to determine what is actually controlling the daily appliances you often meet, such as a printer, microwave, or even a simple line-following robot. Well, the answer you have been seeking is right here in this article. The thing that controls those devices called a microcontroller. By reading this … Read more

An EMF detector is one of the essential testing instruments for an engineer or a technician. These testing devices are often integrated into a multimeter, but do not provide a detailed analysis, and that’s where a full standalone EMF detector comes into play. The detector can measure the presence as well as the strength of … Read more

Instrumentation is the term used to refer both single instrument and a collective of instruments. The single instrument may perform physical quantity detection, measurement, analyzing and even magnification. This single instrument can work together with other instruments to perform a particular task; without being connected using a communication line. On the other hand, a collective … Read more

It’s important to learn the micrometer body parts. It gives you a clear idea of how to use a micrometer, how to take the reading, and how it works. On this page, you’ll learn several micrometer body parts that you’ll find on a mechanical (vernier) micrometer. 10 Micrometer Parts (Mechanical Model) A typical mechanical micrometer … Read more

In terms of measuring the distance of the internal-external dimension and diameter of an object, it is a lot harder to do with a conventional measure like a ruler. However, it’s a lot easier with a caliper. There’s a lot to be said for a caliper, but how it actually works? How does it serve … Read more

A caliper is a precision measuring instrument that has the good flexibility to measure various dimensions such as thickness, outside diameter, inside diameter, length, width, and depth of an object in a single tool. It’s a very complete tool to support your multiple dimension measurement. A caliper is made of steel. However, sometimes carbon material … Read more

Suppose you are measuring with a caliper, then you suddenly get quite confused. You ask, “Why must the aligned line that gets counted on the vernier scale? How that could be?” If you are in a situation like this, this is a good chance to learn it. Vernier scale is the secondary scale that is … Read more

The vernier caliper and other types of caliper that we use today have passed a long story before. Some say it was from East, some say it was from West. Each of them has their own argumentation. Starting from the old-style without vernier scale, now, it becomes vernier scaled. Even, they have transformed into a … Read more

Micrometers can be classified into mechanical dan digital models based on their working principle. These different working principles also affect the way these micrometers display the measurement reading. The mechanical model further varies based on how it shows the reading: dial, mechanical counter, and conventional micrometer. If you are going to buy a new micrometer, … Read more

The invention of tape measures has a very unusual history. Sometimes you never know, two completely different things which may have no connection can have a connection. The invention leads back to the time where the hoop skirts were gaining a lot of attention in the fashion industry. The tape measure is an end product … Read more
