I-Beam Type Level
• Used to measure how level flat surfaces or
several objects are in relation to each
other.
• Ex: Determining how level the floor is in a
house.
Torpedo Level
•Used for tight
spaces.
•Generally, they are
magnetic and great
for metal work.
•Not as accurate as
longer levels.
Line Level
•Hung on a string that is suspended
between two points.
•Great for level masonry, dirt work, etc.
Folding Rulers
•Great when you need
a rigid measuring
instrument.
•Predecessor to the
tape measure and is
somewhat obsolete to
a modern tape
measure.
Tape
Measure
•Most commonly
used measuring
device.
•Available in both
English and Metric
systems.
•Available in
various lengths as
well. Most common
is the 25 foot
length.
Open Reel
Fiberglass
Measuring
Tapes
•Used to measure long
distances where a tape
measure is too short.
•Great for dirt work, etc.
•Fast retrieval of the tape
with foldable handle.
Laser Levels
•Uses a laser beam
of energy to project a
line or a spot on an
object.
Transit Level and Rod
•Used by landscapers,
engineers, etc. to
determine if points of
land are level and/ or
the difference in
elevation.
Calipers
•Used to
measure the
outside or inside
edges of objects.
•Used for
gaining precise
measurements.
Dial Calipers
Calipers
•Used to measure the distance on the outside or inside of an
object and then measure from point to point with a ruler or
tape measure.
Steel Ruler
•Used for precision measurements.
•Available in English or Metric systems.
Outside Micrometer
•Used for gaining extremely precise outside
measurements on objects.
•Used in agricultural mechanics for rebuilding
engines, etc.
Digital Outside Micrometer
•Used for
gaining
extremely
precise outside
measurements
on objects.
•Has a digital
read out that
allows for
easier use.
Inside Micrometer
•Used for
gaining
extremely
precise inside
measurements
on objects.
•Ex: The
cylinder
diameter inside
an engine.
Telescoping Hole Gauges
•Used for measuring inside holes that are too small for an inside
micrometer or when an inside micrometer is not available.
•To use, you place the gauge inside the hole, release the spring
loaded head and allow it to spread and the lock it into position.
Next, remove the telescoping hole gauge from the hole and
measure the distance with a micrometer.
Depth Gauge
•Used to measure the
depth of a hole.
