PHOTOMETER

A photometer, generally, is an
instrument that measures light
intensity or optical properties of solutions
or surfaces. Photometers measure:

Illuminance

Irradiance

Light absorption

Scattering of light

SEISMOMETER
Seismometers are instruments that
measure motion of the ground, including
those of seismic waves generated
by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and
other seismic sources. Records of seismic
waves allow seismologists to map the
interior of the Earth, and locate and
measure the size of these different

VOLTMETER
A voltmeter is an instrument used for
measuring electrical potential difference
between two points in an electric circuit.
Analog voltmeters move a pointer across
a scale in proportion to the voltage of the
circuit; digital voltmeters give a numerical
display of voltage by use of an analog to

MICRO METER
micrometer screw gauge, is a device
incorporating a calibrated screw widely
used for precise measurement of
components in mechanical
engineering and machining as well as
most mechanical trades, along with
other metrologicalinstruments such
as dial, vernier, and digital calipers.

HYDRO METER
A hydrometer or areometer is an instrument
that measures the specific gravity (relative
density) of liquidsthe ratio of the density of the
liquid to the density of water.A hydrometer is
usually made of glass, and consists of a
cylindrical stem and a bulb weighted
withmercury or lead shot to make it float upright.
The liquid to test is poured into a tall container,
often a graduated cylinder, and the hydrometer is
gently lowered into the liquid until it floats freely.
The point at which the surface of the liquid
touches the stem of the hydrometer correlates to

MEASURING CUP
A measuring cup or measuring jug is
a kitchen utensil used primarily to measure
the volume of liquid or bulk
solid cooking ingredients such as flour and
sugar, especially for volumes from about
50 mL (2 fl oz) upwards. The cup will usually
have a scale marked in cups and fractions of a
cup, and often with fluid measure and weight of
a selection of dry foodstuffs. Measuring cups

ALTIMETER
An altimeter or an altitude meter is an
instrument used to measure the altitude of
an object above a fixed level. The
measurement of altitude is
called altimetry, which is related to the
term bathymetry, the measurement of
depth under water.

RULER
A ruler, sometimes called a rule or line
gauge, is an instrument used
ingeometry, technical drawing, printing,
engineering and building to measure
distances or to rule straight lines. The ruler
is a straightedge which may also contain
calibrated lines to measure distances.

PROTRACTOR
A protractor is a measuring instrument,
typically made of transparent plastic or glass,
for measuring angles. Most protractors
measure angles in degrees (). Radian-scale
protractors measure angles in radians. Most
protractors are divided into 180 equal
parts.They are used for a variety of
mechanical and engineering-related

CALIPER
caliper (British spelling also calliper, or
in plurale tantum sense a pair of
calipers) is a device used to measure the
distance between two opposite sides of an
object. A caliper can be as simple as
a compass with inward or outward-facing
points. The tips of the caliper are adjusted
to fit across the points to be measured, the
caliper is then removed and the distance
read by measuring between the tips with a
