 #. What are the Tools for Measuring used in Construction? 

There are various tools for measuring, which are widely used in Construction. The list of some of the valuable tools is given below. They are:

S.N.	Name	Uses	Images
1.	Tape measure	Measures length
2.	Calipers	Measures distance between two opposite sides of an object
3.	Micrometer	Measures the thickness of sheets of paper, the length of nails, and screws, a diameter of a tiny hole, the depth of a slot, and the thickness of a wire.
4.	Ruler	It measures different objects’ lengths and widths and helps draw straight lines. It is widely used for engineering purposes, construction projects, and carpentry.
5.	Indicator	It is used in physics ( i.e., to detect Acidity and Basicity). It helps forecast economic and financial trends and helps measure current conditions.
6.	Vernier scale	It helps to measure the dimensions accurately.
7.	Laser Level	It is widely used in survey and construction activities to level and align applications.
8.	Thermometer	It helps to detect human body temperature, cooking, food safety, and room temperatures.
9.	Surveyor’s	It measures the exact dimensions of a particular property to create its outline boundaries.
10.	Wheel Gauge	It helps with the measurement of the diameter of the wheels.
11.	Speedometer	It shows the indication of the speed of all kinds of vehicles.
12.	Feeler gauge	It helps to measure the authorization between two pieces.
