Angle-measuring instruments may be classified into four types according to the measuring method used. The first group includes devices that compare the angle to be measured against a fixed gage, such as an angle gage (for angles 1â to 180Â°), try square (usually for a 90Â° angle), tapered plug gage, or template.
Anemometers measure the direction of winds. They come in different models but use a similar principle â cups on a bar! It simply works like this: the faster the wind, the faster the cups rotate. The speed of the rotating cups is measured by a speedometer. Another instrument in wind measurement is the wind vane. It involves a pointer mounted on a vertical shaft. When the wind blows, the arm sways until the pointer faces the direction of the wind. These days, there are some really cool technology that meteorologists use to measure air pressure, speeds and direction.
