Common Measuring Equipment Parts

• Probe/Tip: Contacts the measured object (e.g., caliper jaws, multimeter probe).
• Scale/Digital Display: Shows measurement values (analog scale or LCD/LED).
• Beam/Rail: Structural base in devices like calipers or micrometers.
• Thimble/Sleeve: Micrometer components for fine adjustment and reading.
• Dial Indicator: Amplifies small displacements (used in comparators).
• Sensor/Transducer: Converts physical quantity to electrical signal (e.g., thermocouple, strain gauge).
• Zero Adjustment Knob: Calibrates reference point.
• Hold Button/Data Output: Freezes readings or exports data (e.g., USB, Bluetooth).
• Battery Compartment: Powers digital instruments.
• Case/Housing: Protects internal components and ensures durability.

Note: Specific parts vary by instrument type (e.g., oscilloscope probes, pressure gauge Bourdon tube).
