Handmeters

Handmeters is a term that can refer to a variety of portable measuring instruments designed to be held and operated by hand. These devices are distinguished by their handheld nature and their function of quantifying specific physical properties.

Common examples of handmeters include multimeters, which measure electrical properties such as voltage, current, and resistance. Other types might include infrared thermometers for non-contact temperature measurement, or torque wrenches used to apply a specific amount of rotational force. The design of handmeters prioritizes portability, ease of use, and often a clear display for readings. They are frequently employed in fields like electronics, automotive repair, and construction, where on-site measurements are essential. The term itself is not a strictly defined technical classification but rather a descriptive one, encompassing a broad category of personal measurement tools. Accuracy and calibration are critical factors for any handmeter to ensure reliable data collection.
