Performing mensuration and calculation
This document defines and describes various units of measurement and tools used for electrical work. It discusses units like amps, volts, and ohms used to measure electrical current, pressure, and resistance. Tools described include multi-testers for measuring voltage, resistance, and current; ammeters and voltmeters for measuring amps and volts; ohmmeters for resistance; and wire gauges and micrometers for measuring wire diameters. Pull-push rules and rulers are also covered for linear measurement of objects.

Strictly speaking, the ruler is the instrument used to rule straight lines and the calibrated instrument used for determining length called a measure. However, common usage calls both instruments rulers and the special name straight edge is used for an unmarked rule
