Rigid rules, folding rules, depth rules, and tape measures are used to take accurate measurements on many machined and mechanical parts. These tools can measure various shapes and sizes of equipment. The ability to identify the proper measuring tool for an identified task is a skill itself. The correct use of the selected tool will provide a high degree of accuracy which is critical in maintenance and machining activities.

The Measuring Rules and Tapes online training course identifies measurement tool types. It also explains the correct procedures for taking accurate measurements with them. This course covers:

• Rigid rules
• Folding rules
• Depth rules
• Tape measures
