Measurements in engineering

The collection contains measuring and testing instruments used in research, engineering production and in running engineering devices. This also implies basic dividing of the collection. Within these three groups, the instruments are classified according to measured quantities (measurement of temperature, pressure, velocity, geometric dimensions, physical properties of materials, and others). The largest part of the collection is devoted to workshop and testing gauges. These include slide callipers, micrometers, indicators, protractors, gauge sets, drafting devices, and various special workshop gauges. Process measuring instruments are represented mainly by various types and systems of thermometers, pressure gauges and vacuum meters, but also special instruments such as analyzer of flue gas composition. The group of instruments used in research includes, for instance, tensiometers, flow rate meters, impulse counters and other instruments. The collection contains 80 objects.
