•  There are many different types of measuring tools and equipment that can be used for a variety of measurements: 

Length: Rulers, measuring tapes, yardsticks, meter sticks, and feet/foot scales are all used to measure length. Vernier calipers and micrometer screw gauges are more precise tools for measuring length. 

• Volume: A graduated cylinder or measuring cup can be used to measure volume. 

Mass: An equal arm beam balance can be used to measure mass. 

Time: A stopwatch or pendulum can be used to measure time. A clock can also be used to measure time and help organize it. 

Temperature: A thermometer can be used to measure the temperature of the body or its surroundings. 

Pressure: A pressure gauge can be used to measure air and water pressure. 

Blood sugar: A glucometer is a medical device used to measure blood sugar levels. 

Speed: A speedometer is used to measure the speed of moving things, typically in a vehicle. 

Angle: A sine bar is a precision instrument used to measure angles. 

Airflow: Professional tools can be used to measure air velocity and volume. 

Other measuring tools include dial gauges, bubble levels, and protractors. 

To maintain measuring tools, you can store them in a hardstanding, watertight container with foam inserts. You can also clean them regularly to remove dirt and grease, and dry them before storing them.
