P2110105 – Measurement Techniques
Reference
- P2110105 : Measurement Techniques
Principle
Measuring instruments such as vernier calipers, micrometers, and spherometers enable highly accurate measurements of lengths, thicknesses, diameters, and radii of curvature. This educational module demonstrates measurement procedures, as well as the concepts of measurement accuracy and reading precision.
Key Benefits
- Provides a fundamental basis for practical science laboratory courses
- Supports the acquisition of essential skills in measuring basic mechanical quantities
- Raises awareness of measurement accuracy limitations
- Encourages the combination of multiple measurements to determine a physical quantity
- Enables determination of radii of curvature using a spherometer
Practical Tasks
- Determination of tube volume using a vernier caliper
- Measurement of the thickness of wires, cubes, and plates using a micrometer
- Measurement of plate thickness and radius of curvature of watch glasses using a spherometer
Learning Objectives
