2. List of measuring instruments - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_measuring_instruments

   In the past, a common time measuring instrument was the sundial. Today, the usual measuring instruments for time are clocks and watches. For highly accurate measurement of time an atomic clock is used. Stopwatches are also used to measure time in some sports.

5. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

   The choice of method, instruments, required calculations, and corrections to be applied depends on the purpose of the measurement, the allowable uncertainty, and the characteristics of the equipment being tested. The methods for pressure measurement and the protocols used for data transmission are also provided.

6. Accuracy and precision - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_and_precision

   In industrial instrumentation, accuracy is the measurement tolerance, or transmission of the instrument and defines the limits of the errors made when the instrument is used in normal operating conditions. [7] Ideally a measurement device is both accurate and precise, with measurements all close to and tightly clustered around the true value.

9. Multimeter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

   A multimeter (also known as a volt-ohm-milliammeter, volt-ohmmeter or VOM) [1] is a measuring instrument that can measure multiple electrical properties. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] A typical multimeter can measure voltage , resistance , and current , [ 4 ] in which case can be used as a voltmeter , ohmmeter , and ammeter .
