Explanation:

Measuring tool: 

  • Measurement is the process or the result of determining the magnitude of a quantity, such as a length or mass. 
  • When we measure an object, we are actually comparing it with a known Standard of measurement.
  • A measuring tool is a device for measuring length or angles.
  • Example: Protractor, Measuring tape, steel rule, etc.
  • Classification of measuring instruments based on methods of measurement

    • Direct measuring tool: Determine the actual dimension and size of the workpiece

      Example: Steel rule, Vernier caliper, micrometer, etc.

    •  Indirect measuring tool: Transfer the measurement from the workpiece to the direct measuring instrument, then the comparison is made.

      Example: Divider, calipers, surface gauge, etc.
