Measure materials and parts.

Measurement should include the use of non-precision (e.g., rulers, protractors, basic transfer tools) and precision instruments (e.g., micrometer, vernier caliper, dial and electronic calipers, telescoping gauges, adjustable parallels) to determine the compliance of a part of selected dimensions.

  • What are the kinds of rulers or scales?
  • What are the names of precision transfer tools?
  • What is the difference, when transferring dimension, of using a basic as opposed to a precision measuring tool?
  • What does a precision measuring tool measure more accurately?
