What is an Odometer & How does it work?

An odometer or odograph is an instrument used for measuring the distance traveled by a vehicle, such as a bicycle or car. This device can be electronic, mechanical, or a combination of the two. The purpose of odometers and odographs is to track the mileage accumulated by a vehicle over time, which can be useful for those who need to keep track of their maintenance records. Let’s take a look at how these devices work and why they are important for vehicle owners. 

An Overview of Hydrometers and Lactometers

Hydrometers are precision instruments used to measure the density or relative density of liquids.

Dynamometer: Working, Types, Applications, Advantages & Disadvantages

A dynamometer, or “dyno” for short, is a device used to measure force, moment of force (torque), or power. It’s incredibly useful for measuring the power of an engine, motor or other prime mover in order to determine its performance. In addition, dynamometers can also be used to measure the torque and power required to drive a machine like a pump. Let’s take a closer look at how you can use a dynamometer and why it is so important.
