The LSM-500S Mechanical Engineers measure parts of machinery to an accuracy of
0.025mm or 0.001inch for most of the parts they manufacture and sometimes more accurate than that. The instrument that is used most commonly is called a Micrometer
(not to be confused with the 'unit' called a micro-meter. ) They also use an instrument called a Vernier Gauge. Since about 1975 instrument makers have been making what are called "Dial Vernier Gauges" which are easier to use and red, than traditional Vernier Gauges. A Micrometer is more accurate, and good quality Micrometers measure to an accuracy of , 1 ten thousandth of an inch (0.0001 inch) or 1 hundredth of a millimetre.(0.01mm)
The diameter of rotating parts in machinery are usually made to an accuracy of 1hundredth of a millimetre.

An instrument used to measure length width and height?
A ruler or tape measure can be used to measure length, width, and height of objects accurately. These tools are commonly found in households and offices for various measuring tasks.
Aside from the spring balance could you give another instrument that can measure force?
a bathroom scale
What is the instrument used to measure the elevation?
The instrument used to measure elevation is called an altimeter. It works by measuring air pressure changes as altitude changes, providing a rough estimate of elevation above sea level.
What can you measure in a decimeter?
It turns out that decimeters are seldom used in practice. Instead, millimeters, centimeters and meters are normally used. Of course, in theory you could measure any length in decimeters - and especially lengths which are in an appropriate range, somewhere between about 1-100 decimeters.
What instrument measures distance traveled in a car?
An odometer measures the distance traveled in a car by tracking the number of rotations of the vehicle's wheels. The odometer is typically displayed on the dashboard and provides the driver with information on the total distance the car has traveled.
What do you measure in kilometers?
You could measure distances between cities.

What is a instrument that can measure between 0.005 - 2mm?
Such an instrument could be called the Laser Scan Micrometer.
What would you measure in decimeter?
You could measure lengths of small objects like a pen or bookshelf in decimeters. Decimeters are one-tenth of a meter, so they are useful for measuring lengths that are between centimeters and meters.
What do you use to measure kilometers?
Depends on what you are measuring. Short distances could use a meter stick or the flip-side of a tape measure. For longer distances you could use a laser set to metric or hop in a car measure the distance in miles and then convert it.
What instrument would be used to measure the length of your ο¬nger?
One could use a ruler.
If you had a fraction strip folded into tenths what fractional lengths could you measure with the strip?
1/10 1/5
What could you use to measure the volume of salt water?
The instrument you would use could be a beaker or a graduated cylinder.
What are some nonstandard ways that you could measure the length of a dog?
Your teacher wants you to use your imagination and think of other things you could compare your dog to instead of a ruler or yardstick. What about measuring your dog in cat-lengths or pencil-lengths? You can think of lots of ways to measure a dog if you just use your brain!
What measurement would you use to measure a large distance?
Light year is used to measure the stellar distances whereas miles and km is used to measure distance on Earth.
How could you find a sum of a 59-gon?
Measure each side and add them up to get the sum of the side-lengths = perimeter.
