    There are two primary methods for measuring distances: line standards and end standards. Line standards directly compare lengths using engraved lines on a ruler without other tools, while end standards measure the distance between two parallel surfaces using tools with hardened ends like gauges and micrometers for higher accuracy. Line standards are easy to use but lack accuracy, while end standards are more precise but time-consuming. The document discusses the pros and cons of each standard.

    What Is Line Standard And End Standard?


    Choosing the right measuring device is vital for accurate measurements. There are
    two primary distance measurement methods: line standards and line
    measurement.

    What Are Line Standards?

    Line standards, like the division-marked meter rule, involve directly comparing
    lengths between engraved lines without auxiliary devices.

    What Are End Standards?


    Using the distance between two parallel surfaces as the measurement standard is
    referred to as end standard or end measurement. This method, commonly used in
    precision workshops, employs tools like end bars, micrometer anvils, and slip
    gauges.

    These tools have hardened end surfaces to resist wear and ensure measurement
    accuracy. A comparator is utilized to accurately transfer the line standard to the end
    standard. Compared to line standards, end standards yield higher accuracy results.
