  2. Micrometer (device) - Wikipedia

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

    A micrometer, sometimes known as a micrometer screw gauge (MSG), is a device incorporating a calibrated screw widely used for accurate measurement of components [1] in mechanical engineering and machining as well as most mechanical trades, along with other metrological instruments such as dial, vernier, and digital calipers.

  3. Tow hitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tow_hitch

    A weight-distributing hitch is a "load leveling" hitch. It is a hitch setup mounted on the tow vehicle that uses spring bars and chains under tension to distribute part of the trailer's hitch weight from the towing vehicle's rear axle to the towing vehicle's front axle and to the trailer's axle(s). It can help reduce trailer sway and hop.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_monitoring

    A radio telemetry wireline extensometer monitoring slope deformation. Deformation monitoring (also referred to as deformation survey) is the systematic measurement and tracking of the alteration in the shape or dimensions of an object as a result of stresses induced by applied loads.

  5. Weight distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_distribution

    Typically, it is written in the form x/y, where x is the percentage of weight in the front, and y is the percentage in the back. In a vehicle which relies on gravity in some way, weight distribution directly affects a variety of vehicle characteristics, including handling, acceleration, traction, and component life. For this reason weight ...

    A metallic carriage clamped to a spring-loaded bar slides with its attached vernier and reading lens along an inlaid strip of metal scale. The scale is divided in half millimeters. Fine adjustments are made by means of a micrometer screw for taking accurate reading. Both vernier reading to 0.01mm or 0.02mm.

    In areas other than manufacturing where accurate measurements need to be recorded (e.g., physics). To check for lateral run-out when affixing a new rotor to an automotive disc brake. Lateral run-out (lack of perpendicularity between the disc surface and the shaft axis, caused by deformations or more frequently by a lack of proper cleaning of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haugh_unit

    The height, correlated with the weight, determines the Haugh unit, or HU, rating. The higher the number, the better the quality of the egg (fresher, higher quality eggs have thicker whites). Although the measurement determines the protein content and freshness of the egg, it does not measure other important nutrient contents such as the ...
