  2. Micrometer (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micrometer_(device)

    Tube micrometers have a cylindrical anvil positioned perpendicularly to a spindle and is used to measure the thickness of tubes. Micrometer stops are micrometer heads that are mounted on the table of a manual milling machine, bedways of a lathe, or other machine tool, in place of simple stops. They help the operator to position the table or ...

  3. Tunneling nanotube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunneling_nanotube

    [2] [3] [4] Tunneling nanotubes that are less than 0.7 micrometers in diameter, have an actin structure and carry portions of plasma membrane between cells in both directions. Larger TNTs (>0.7 μm) contain an actin structure with microtubules and/or intermediate filaments , and can carry components such as vesicles and organelles between cells ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_tolerance

    For example, if a shaft with a nominal diameter of 10 mm is to have a sliding fit within a hole, the shaft might be specified with a tolerance range from 9.964 to 10 mm (i.e., a zero fundamental deviation, but a lower deviation of 0.036 mm) and the hole might be specified with a tolerance range from 10.04 mm to 10.076 mm (0.04 mm fundamental ...

  5. Multimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

    Vacuum tube voltmeters or valve voltmeters (VTVM, VVM) were used for voltage measurements in electronic circuits where high input impedance was necessary. The VTVM had a fixed input impedance of typically 1 MΩ or more, usually through use of a cathode follower input circuit, and thus did not significantly load the circuit being tested.

  6. Gauge (instrument) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_(instrument)

    The transformer has three solenoidal coils placed end-to-end around a tube. The center coil is the primary, and the two outer coils are the secondaries. A cylindrical ferromagnetic core, attached to the object whose position is to be measured, slides along the axis of the tube. micrometer, sometimes known as a "micrometer screw gauge"

  7. Micrometre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micrometre

    The micrometre (Commonwealth English as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; [1] SI symbol: μm) or micrometer (American English), also commonly known by the non-SI term micron, [2] is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equalling 1 × 10 −6 metre (SI standard prefix "micro-" = 10 −6); that is, one millionth of a metre (or one thousandth of a ...

    Micrometer can mean: Micrometer (device), used for accurate measurements by means of a calibrated screw; Micrometre, a millionth of a metre

  9. Tube (fluid conveyance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_(fluid_conveyance)

    A tube, or tubing, is a long hollow cylinder used for moving fluids (liquids or gases) or to protect electrical or optical cables and wires. The terms " pipe " and "tube" are almost interchangeable, although minor distinctions exist — generally, a tube has tighter engineering requirements than a pipe.
