A micrometer is a useful instrument used by engineers and metrologists in almost all industries for very precise and accurate measurements. They are extensively used for essential metrological ...

A new device and technique have been developed by National Institute of Standards and Technology researchers for measuring "breakdown" voltage -- the voltage required to produce electrical arcs when ...

'It's a tough call. If you only plan on ever building one or two engines in your life, it's difficult to justify spending big dollars on specialty engine tools like a micrometer and a dial-bore gauge.

Face it, high-performance cars are extremely precise machines with very tight tolerances. In order to build a high-performance engine, you must be able to measure those clearances. Cars are not like ...
