Mõõtevardast

Mõõtevardast is a term used in Estonian to refer to a measuring rod or a dipstick. It is a simple tool used for determining the level of a liquid in a container. The basic design involves a long, thin rod, often made of metal or plastic, with markings or a calibrated scale along its length. To use a mõõtevardast, it is inserted into the liquid until it reaches the bottom of the container. Upon removal, the liquid level is indicated by the point on the rod where the liquid line stops.

Mõõtevardast have a wide range of applications. They are commonly found in vehicles to check the oil level in the engine or the transmission fluid. In industrial settings, they can be used to measure the level of various chemicals or fuels in tanks. Household uses might include checking the water level in wells or cisterns. The accuracy of a mõõtevardast depends on the clarity of its markings and the user's ability to read them correctly. They are generally considered a reliable and straightforward method for liquid level measurement, especially when precision is not paramount.
