 What Is It

Select Measuring Instruments

Measuring instrument is a device for measuring a physical quantity. In the physical
sciences, quality assurance, and engineering, measurement is the activity of obtaining and
comparing physical quantities of real world objects and events. Established standard objects
and events are used as units, and the process of measurement gives a number relating the
item under study and the referenced unit of measurement.

Summary
A measuring instrument is a device for measuring a physical quantity. In
the physical sciences, quality assurance, and engineering, measurement is the activity of
obtaining and comparing physical quantities of real world objects and events. Established
standard objects and events are used as units, and the process of measurement gives a
number relating the item under study and the referenced unit of measurement. Measuring
instruments, and formal test methods which define the instrument's use, are the means by
which these relations of numbers are obtained. All measuring instruments are subject to
varying degrees of instrument error and measurement uncertainty. These instruments may
range from simple objects such as rulers and stopwatches to electron
microscopes and particle accelerators. Virtual instrumentation is widely used in the
development of modern measuring instruments.
