  2. Height gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_gauge

    The left height gauge has the vernier scale, while the right one is an electronic height gauge with a digital readout. A height gauge is a measuring device used for determining the height of objects, and for marking of items to be worked on. [1] These measuring tools are used in metalworking or metrology to either set or measure vertical ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadiametric_rangefinding

    The approximate range of an object one foot (30.48 cm) in height covering roughly 100 milliradians is 10 feet (3.048 m) or: Range (r) = approximate height of object (h) × (1000 ÷ aperture in milliradians (a)) r = h(1000/a) → where r and h are identical units, and a is in milliradians.

  4. Level sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor

    For deep well designs, the Sealed Gauge measuring principle is also used. From a depth of approx. 20 m, the relative pressure can only be compensated to a limited extent by the thin hose. The level sensor is then designed as an absolute pressure transmitter whose zero point is adjusted to the desired mean air pressure depending on the location ...

    Vernier height gauge: a measuring device used either for determining the height of something, or for repetitious marking of items to be worked on. The former type of height gauge is often used in doctor's surgeries to find the height of people. Wire gauge: measuring tool determines the thickness of a wire.

  7. Control chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_chart

    The control chart was invented by Walter A. Shewhart working for Bell Labs in the 1920s. [8] The company's engineers had been seeking to improve the reliability of their telephony transmission systems. Because amplifiers and other equipment had to be buried underground, there was a stronger business need to reduce the frequency of failures and ...

    A tide gauge The tide gauge in Kronstadt, Russia [1] A tide gauge is a device for measuring the change in sea level relative to a vertical datum. [2] [3] It is also known as a mareograph, [4] marigraph, [5] and sea-level recorder. [6] When applied to freshwater continental water bodies, the instrument may also be called a limnimeter. [7] [8]

  9. Indicator (distance amplifying instrument) - Wikipedia

    Ideal test indicator pushed. Prior to modern geared dial mechanisms, test indicators using a single lever or systems of levers were common. The range and precision of these devices were generally inferior to modern dial type units, with a range of 10/1000 inch to 30/1000 inch, and precision of 1/1000 inch being typical.
