Description
Bench instruments are instruments that are usually placed on a fixed and flat bench or table in a laboratory or workshop. These instruments are usually used for measuring, testing, model making, or minor mechanical work. Examples of bench instruments include micrometers, heavy strain gauges, clamps, vises, calipers, spectrometers, testing machines, etc. They are usually very accurate and durable, because they can work in a low-vibration and stable environment due to being placed on a bench.
The importance of bench instruments is immense in the fields of research and development, quality control, production process monitoring, and educational testing. Using these instruments, scientists and engineers can collect accurate data, which helps to improve the quality of the research and production process. In addition, bench instruments, if properly maintained, remain functional for many years and increase the reliability of the test. Therefore, the importance of bench instruments in lab and industrial setups is very high.
