GK ON List of all measuring device and their use 

1.Hygrometer-


A hygrometer is a device used to measure the humidity or moisture content in the air

2.Barometer -


A barometer is a device used to measure atmospheric pressure

3.Anemometer-


anemometer is a device used to measure wind speed and sometimes wind direction

4.Lux metre 


lux meter, also known as a light meter, is a device used to measure the intensity of light in units called lux

5.Tachometer-


A tachometer is a device used to measure the rotational speed of a shaft or disk in revolutions per minute (RPM). It is commonly used in automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and laboratory applications to monitor the speed of engines, motors, turbines, conveyor belts, and other rotating machinery.

6.Speedometer -


speedometer is a device used to measure and display the instantaneous speed of a vehicle, typically in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h)

7.Ammeter-


ammeter is a device used to measure the electrical current flowing in a circuit. It is typically used in conjunction with other electrical instruments in electrical engineering and physics experiments

8.Thermometer-


thermometer is a device used to measure temperature

9.voltmeter-


voltmeter is a device used to measure the voltage or electrical potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit.

10.Multimeter-


multimeter, also known as a multitester or VOM (Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter), is a versatile electronic instrument used to measure various electrical quantities such as voltage, current, and resistance.

11.Micrometer-


micrometer, also known as a micrometer screw gauge, is a precise measuring instrument used to measure small distances or thicknesses with high accuracy.

12.Colorimeter-


colorimeter is a device used to measure the absorbance or transmittance of light by a solution or sample at specific wavelengths of light

13.Spectrophotometer -


spectrophotometer is a scientific instrument used to measure the intensity of light at different wavelengths across the electromagnetic spectrum

14.Viscometer-


viscometer is a device used to measure the viscosity of fluids. It typically works by measuring the resistance of a fluid to flow under an applied force

15.Refractometer-


refractometer is an instrument used to measure the refractive index of a substance, which indicates how much the speed of light is reduced when passing through that substance

16.Dynamometer-


dynamometer is a device used to measure force, torque, or power. It's commonly used in various applications such as testing engines, measuring the power output of motors or engines

17.Manometer-


manometer is a device used to measure pressure, typically the difference in pressure between two points in a fluid

18.Accelerometer-


accelerometer is a sensor used to measure acceleration forces

Accelerometers are commonly found in smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices to detect changes in orientation, gestures, and movements

19.Gyroscope-


gyroscope is a device used to measure or maintain orientation and angular velocity

20.Spectrometer-


spectrometer is a scientific instrument used to measure properties of light over a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum

21.Photometer-


photometer is an instrument used to measure the intensity of light or optical radiation, typically in a specific range of wavelengths

22.Ohmmeter-


ohmmeter is an electrical instrument used to measure electrical resistance

23.Oscilloscope-


oscilloscope is a test instrument used to observe and analyze the waveform of electrical signals

24.Dosimeter-


dosimeter is a device used to measure an individual's exposure to something, typically to radiation

25.Flowmeter-

flowmeter is a device used to measure the rate of flow of a fluid, typically a liquid or a gas, through a pipe or conduit
