  2. Tape measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_measure

    Millimeters produce whole (integer) numbers, reduce arithmetic errors, thus decreasing wastage due to such errors. The US made measuring tape shown on the right is interesting in that it is a "Reverse Measuring Tape", where the measurements can be read from right to left just as well as they can be read when the tape is used from left to right.

  5. Diameter tape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diameter_tape

    A diameter tape (D-tape) is a measuring tape used to estimate the diameter of a cylinder object, typically the stem of a tree or pipe. A diameter tape has either metric or imperial measurements reduced by the value of π. This means the tape measures the diameter of the object. It is assumed that the cylinder object is a perfect circle.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre-stick

    The metre-stick is usually employed for work on a medium scale; larger than desktop work on paper, yet smaller than large-scale infrastructure work, where tape measures or longer measuring rods are used. Typical applications of metre-sticks are for building furniture, vehicles and houses. Modern carpenters' metre-sticks are usually made to be ...

    A variety of rulers A carpenter's rule Retractable flexible rule or tape measure A closeup of a steel ruler A ruler in combination with a letter scale. A ruler, sometimes called a rule, scale or a line gauge or metre/meter stick, is an instrument used to make length measurements, whereby a length is read from a series of markings called "rules" along an edge of the device.

  8. Micrometer (device) - Wikipedia

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

    Animation of a micrometer in use. The object being measured is in black. The measurement is 4.140 ± 0.005 mm. Micrometers use the screw to transform small distances [9] (that are too small to measure directly) into large rotations of the screw that are big enough to read from a scale. The accuracy of a micrometer derives from the accuracy of ...

  9. Metric system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_system

    For the most part, the metric prefixes are used uniformly for SI base, derived and accepted units. A notable exception is that for a large measure of seconds, the non-SI units of minute, hour and day are customary instead. Units of duration longer than a day are problematic since both month and year have varying number of days.
