Minimum Equipment for RAS Vehicle Inspection

S.N. Equipment Name Item Description

Used to measure the pressure of tires on a vehicle.
Since tires are rated for specific loads at certain
pressure, it is important to keep the pressure of the
1 Air Pressure Gauge
tire at the optimal amount taking random checks on
daily bases for a safer trip as tires are recorded to
have a major roll-over in car accidents.
In Major Oil & Gas concessions standard Minimum
requirement is 1.6 mm across the central three-
quarters of the tread width and round its entire
circumference. Check the depth of the main tread
2 Tyre Thread Depth Gauge grooves in several places across and around the
tyre, using the gauge as instructed by its
manufacturer, keeping tires to have better grip on
roads reducing the risk of roll-overs, with better
integrity on tires.
Designed to test any type of non-live electrical
circuit. Track down broken
wires, bad grounds and blown fuses quickly helps to
3 Fuse Tester avoid any fire incidents & break downs while
travelling in rough road condition having strong
vibration on all fuses & wiring that is why it should
be tested.
Designed to allow accurate current
measurements using clamp jaws. The clamp meter is
well suited for testing

starting/ charging circuits, and provides easy access
to current, voltage
and other key automotive measurements.

very useful for all heat purposes avoiding risk on
engine over heating while driving & fire risks on
electric wiring.
An instrument for determining the specific gravity of
a liquid (such as battery acid) also an instrument for
measuring the density of liquids.
Used where the tightness of screws and bolts is
crucial. It allows the operator to set the torque
applied to the fastener, so it can be matched to the
specifications for a particular application tires are a
major item to watch over carefully as it has caused a
lot of incident equal fitting is required.
