Is the instrument used to measure force called a 'Newton meter'?

Answer 1

Many instruments are used to measure force. The most important is the force gauge or dynamometer. It's in fact a load sensor with a display. Those gauges are often mounted on a test stand or directly integrated in the frame.

Some of them are:

• Force meter or Newton-meter
• spring balance
• spring scale
• torque wrench
• bathroom scale
• strain gauge (Measures force within a material)

For examples of instruments that measure force visit the Related Link,

A newton meter, measured in N (Newtons)

A ruler can be used

A dynamometer is a tool for measuring force.

You use a Newton-Meter (Named after Isaac newton).
Scale
A dynamograph is used in measuring mechanical force.

Answer 2

Yes it is, although it may be better calling it a force meter, a force gauge or a dynamometer.

Most of the time they measure in Newtons (the SI unit for force) but they can also measure in pound.force too.

Answer 3

A Force Gauge is a measuring instrument used across all industries to measure the force during a push or pull test. Applications exist in research and development, laboratory, quality, production and field environment. There are two kind of force gauges today: mechanical and digital force gauges

A digital force gauge is basically a handheld instrument that contains a load cell, electronic part, software and a display. A load cell is an electronic device that is used to convert a force into an electrical signal. Through a mechanical arrangement, the force being sensed deforms a strain gauge. The strain gauge converts the deformation (strain) to electrical signals. The software and electronics of the force gauge converts the voltage of the load cell into a force value that is displayed on the instrument. Test units in force measurement are most commonly newtons, pound or kilograms.

Answer 4

electrical Calibration
Any kind of force-measuring device, such as . . .

-- bathroom scale

-- Force Meter

-- balance beam

-- spring fishing scale

-- postage metering scale

-- food scale
a netometer
A Newton meter! It measures forces. Friction, gravity....
"Newton" is a unit of force, just like "pound".

A bathroom scale does a fine job of measuring them.

Answer 5

A Newton meter does not measure force! Newton meter measures energy E. A Newton measures force. A Nm (Newton Metre)is also the unit used to measure TORQUE which is the twisting energy available if a force of 1Newton was acting at a radius of 1metre on the end of a shaft. A Newton is equal to 0.102 Kilogram. A Newton does not measure force, it is a unit of force, just as a kilogram is a unit of force. Scientists and physicists need to be very clear and precise when they explain technical terms.

Answer 6

Might be wrong though. Just covered it yesterday!

Answer 7

Usually mass, but it could be any kind of force.

Answer 8

Its is measured in Newton...!?
