How do you ensure a ruler is placed correctly for measurement?

• Align the ruler's zero mark with the starting point and ensure it is flat and parallel.

• Use the ruler's middle mark as the starting point.

• Hold the ruler at an angle for accurate measurement.

• Place the ruler upside down for better visibility.

What is the difference between a digital and a manual pressure gauge?

• Manual gauges are powered by batteries while digital gauges are not.

• Digital gauges require calibration every month unlike manual gauges.
