Mõõdepulgad

Mõõdepulgad, commonly translated as measuring sticks or dipsticks, are tools used to determine the level of a liquid in a container. They are typically long, thin rods made of metal, plastic, or wood, often with markings or notches at specific intervals to indicate different levels. The principle of operation is simple: the measuring stick is inserted into the liquid until it reaches the bottom of the container. When removed, the liquid clinging to the stick indicates the level. The presence of a wet mark on the stick above a dry section clearly shows the liquid surface.

Mõõdepulgad are widely used in various applications. In automotive maintenance, they are essential for checking the oil level in engines and transmission fluid levels. In kitchens, they can be used to measure ingredients like oil or syrup. Many industrial processes also rely on mõõdepulgad for monitoring liquid levels in tanks and vessels. The accuracy of a mõõdepulk depends on its calibration and the clarity of its markings. They are a simple yet effective way to ensure that liquid levels are within the desired range, preventing potential problems such as engine damage due to low oil or inaccurate recipe results.
