quantity. In the physical sciences, quality assurance, and engineering, measurement is the activity of obtaining and comparing physical quantities of real-world...

or arcdegree), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol), is a measurement of a plane angle in which one full rotation is 360 degrees. It is not an SI unit—the...

theodolite integrated with electronic distance measurement (EDM) to measure both vertical and horizontal angles and the slope distance from the instrument...

an angle or allows an object to be rotated to a precise angular position. The term goniometry derives from two Greek words, γωνία (gōnía) 'angle' and...

geometry, an angle is the figure formed by two rays, called the sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle. Angles formed...

known or direct angle measurement is wanted, the instrument can be set to zero during the initial sight. It will then read the angle between the initial...

The contact angle (symbol θC) is the angle between a liquid surface and a solid surface where they meet. More specifically, it is the angle between the...

A phasor measurement unit (PMU) is a device used to estimate the magnitude and phase angle of an electrical phasor quantity (such as voltage or current)...

nose-down angle measured from horizontal axis) Pitch (ship motion), one of the ship motions' principal axes of rotation (bow-up or bow-down angle measured...

Binary angular measurement (BAM) (and the binary angular measurement system, BAMS) is a measure of angles using binary numbers and fixed-point arithmetic...

The turn (symbol tr or pla) is a unit of plane angle measurement equal to the angular measure subtended by a complete circle at its center. It is equal...

angle is a measurement of bending disorders of the vertebral column such as scoliosis and traumatic deformities. It is defined as the greatest angle at...

An autocollimator is an optical instrument for non-contact measurement of angles. They are typically used to align components and measure deflections...

optically with a digital camera. In a surface tension measurement, the measurement probe has a contact angle of zero and the surface tension can be obtained...

Greek γωνία (gōnía) 'angle'), grad, or grade – is a unit of measurement of an angle, defined as one-hundredth of the right angle; in other words, 100...

to give him climb and descent angle information. Hand-held clinometers are used for a variety of surveying and measurement tasks. In land surveying and...

They can be constructed to adjust the bending angle by reference, stroke measurement or angle measurement. CNC machines usually abstain from a reference...
