MEASURING TOOLS
 MEASUREMEN
T
means determining a dimension,
capacity, or quantity of an object, or
the duration of a task.
 MEASURING
TOOLS
Are device used to calculate a
measurable quantity. It is also used to
take a count of quantitative data,
such as weight, length, time and
temperature.
Rulers and scales are two common types of
measuring tools. Rulers are useful because they
can have multiple measurement system such as
metric and imperial units which are simple to
use because it has marks denoting subdivisions.
MEASURING
INSTRUMENTS
Are the instruments used to measure any
electrical quantity,such as voltage and
currents.
 TWO TYPES OF

1.VOLTMETER
INSTRUMENTS
MEASURING

•It is a measuring instrument which

measures the voltage across any two
points of an electric circuit.
 TYPES OF
•DCVOLTMETER
VOLTMETER
Measures the Direct Current
voltage across any two points of an
electric circuit.
•AC
VOLTMETER
Measures the AC voltage across
any two points of electric circuit.

2.AMMETER
It is a measuring instrument which
measures the current flowing through
any two points of an electric circuit.
 TYPES OF
•DC
AMMETER
Can be used to measure the
AMMETER
DC currents from 0 to 50
amperes. •AC
Measures the AC currents
AMMETER
from 0 to 100 amperes.
 3 CLASSIFICATIONS OF
MEASURING
1.ELECTRICAL MEASURING
INSTRUMENTS
IN•are
STRused
U M ENfor
TS measuring electrical
quantities such as current,
voltage,power, and others. The good
examples of electrical instrument are
ammeter, voltmeter and wattmeter.
2.MECHANICALMEASURING
INSTRUMENTS
are used for measuring the
physical quantities which have
static and stable condition.
3.ELECTRONIC MEASURING
INSTRUMENTS
Are used to measure anything that gives
quick response time,this electrical and
mechanicals instrument provide quick
response as compared to the mechanical and
electrical instrument.
Identify at least 5 measuring instruments that you have in your home
and classify them if it is electrical measuring instruments, mechanical measuring
instruments and electronic measuring instruments.
