Thermoelectrometer :: Thermoelectrometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the strength of an electric current in the heat which it produces, or for determining the heat developed by such a current..

Tonometer :: Tonometer (n.) An instrument for measuring tension, esp. that of the eyeball..

Spectrophotometer :: Spectrophotometer (n.) An instrument for measuring or comparing the intensites of the colors of the spectrum.

Galvanometry :: Galvanometry (n.) The art or process of measuring the force of electric currents.

Clock :: Clock (n.) A machine for measuring time, indicating the hour and other divisions by means of hands moving on a dial plate. Its works are moved by a weight or a spring, and it is often so constructed as to tell the hour by the stroke of a hammer on a bell. It is not adapted, like the watch, to be carried on the person..

Tasimer :: Tasimer (n.) An instrument for detecting or measuring minute extension or movements of solid bodies. It consists essentially of a small rod, disk, or button of carbon, forming part of an electrical circuit, the resistance of which, being varied by the changes of pressure produced by the movements of the object to be measured, causes variations in the strength of the current, which variations are indicated by a sensitive galvanometer. It is also used for measuring minute changes of temperature..

Pachometer :: Pachometer (n.) An instrument for measuring thickness, as of the glass of a mirror, or of paper; a pachymeter..

Heap :: Heap (v. t.) To form or round into a heap, as in measuring; to fill (a measure) more than even full..

Cosmolabe :: Cosmolabe (n.) An instrument resembling the astrolabe, formerly used for measuring the angles between heavenly bodies; -- called also pantacosm..

Measurement :: Measurement (n.) The extent, size, capacity, amount. or quantity ascertained by measuring; as, its measurement is five acres..

Calorimeter :: Calorimeter (n.) An apparatus for measuring the proportion of unevaporated water contained in steam.
