Measuring

Tools and
Calculation
Rule/Steel rule- The
simplest tool used for
measuring linear
distances
Thickness gauges/
Feeler gauges- They
are used to measure
small gaps or distances
such as the clearance
between two parts.
Wire gauges- are
precisely-sized pieces
of round wire.
Micrometer- a hand-
held precision
measuring instrument -
the diameter is usually
marked on the handle
or holder. Vernier
Caliper- can take both
inside and outside
measurements.
Dial indicators- It has a
dial face and a needle
to register
measurements. The
needle moves in
relation to movement
of a movable arm or
plunger. Plastigage-
use to measure the
clearance in crankshaft
main bearings and
connecting rod
bearings, and in some
camshaft bearings.
Electric/Electronic
Testing Measuring
Instrument
Compression tester-
this is used to test the
compression pressure
of the individual
cylinders by inserting
the compression tester
in place of the spark
plug. Vacuum Gauge-
this is used to track
down troubles in an
engine that does not
run as well as it should.
-it measures intake
manifold vacuum.
Voltmeter- this is a
device for measuring
the potential difference
of voltages between
two points such as the
terminals of battery
alternator or two
points in an electric
circuit. Ohmmeter-this
is an instrument used
to measure the
electrical resistance.
Hydrometer- a device
used to measure the
specific gravity of
battery electrolyte to
determine the state of
charge. Timing light-
used in setting a
perfect timing for the
spark plug to give of
electric spark during
combustion in the
ignition system. Engine
Analyzer- a testing
equipment used to find
out common engine
troubles, be they
mechanical or
electrical. Oscilloscope-
used for diagnosing
ignition and other
electrical problems.
Dynamometer -used by
big service shops in
checking engine power
performance.
Tachometer -this is a
device for measuring
engine speed or
revolutions per minute
(rpm)
