select measuring tools that are suitable for the work check that the measuring tool is reading accurately. Measuring tools will not be accurate if they are damaged by dropping, by abuse, or by mishandling. Sensitive measuring instruments can read dimensions as small as 0.1 mm or less. They can be damaged or put out of adjustment by unskilled or careless handling. They must be checked often to make sure they are still giving accurate readings. Measuring equipment covered in this resource includes: 1. Feeler 2. Straight edge 3. Steel rule 4. Callipers 5. Vernier calliper 6. Outside micrometer 7. Dial indicator Figure 2: Measuring equipment Measuring equipment covered in this resource includes: 8. Digital thermometer 9. Multi-meter (Amps, Volts, Ohms) 10. Dial thermometer 11. Pressure gauge Figure 3: Measuring equipment Manual lifting safety Measuring sometimes involves working with heavy and awkward shaped machinery. Cylinder heads, cylinder blocks and crankshafts are heavy to lift and can roll or fall off the bench, crushing hands and feet.
