List units of measure relevant to energy and the instruments used to measure them.

List should include

  • units of measure (e.g., watt, volt, gallons per minute [gpm], ampere, British Thermal Unit [BTU], calories, horsepower, pounds per square inch [PSI], torque, Fahrenheit, Celsius, pounds per hour [lbs/hr])
  • instruments used to measure wattage, voltage, amperage, torque, temperature, resistance, and pressure
    • multimeter (digital and analog)
    • ammeter/amp clamp
    • voltmeter
    • oscilloscope
    • Geiger counter
    • dosimeter
    • torque wrench
    • pressure gauge
    • control valve
    • spring scale
    • thermometer (e.g., red alcohol, mercury, laser, probe).

Process/Skill Questions:

  • How is current flow verified?
  • When should a torque wrench be used?
  • In what industry is a Geiger counter used? How is it different from a dosimeter?
