Mättare

Mättare is a Swedish word that translates to "meter" or "gauge" in English. It is a general term used to refer to a measuring instrument that indicates a quantity. The specific type of mättare can vary greatly depending on what is being measured.

For example, a fuel mättare in a car indicates the amount of fuel remaining in the tank. A temperature mättare shows the current temperature. In a broader sense, a mättare can also be an instrument for measuring electrical quantities, such as voltage or current, often referred to as a voltmeter or ammeter respectively. The term can also encompass devices used for measuring pressure, flow rate, or distance. The design and functionality of a mättare are dictated by the physical property it is intended to quantify. They can range from simple analog dials to complex digital displays. The core purpose remains the same: to provide a readable indication of a specific measurement.
