- fluorometer — an instrument for measuring fluorescence, often as a means of determining the nature of the substance emitting the fluorescence.
- hydrometer — an instrument for determining the specific gravity of a liquid, commonly consisting of a graduated tube weighted to float upright in the liquid whose specific gravity is being measured.
- hygrometer — any instrument for measuring the water-vapor content of the atmosphere.
- kilometer — a unit of length, the common measure of distances equal to 1000 meters, and equivalent to 3280.8 feet or 0.621 mile. Abbreviation: km.
- micrometer — micron (def 1).
- odometer — an instrument for measuring distance traveled, as by an automobile.
- spectrometer — an optical device for measuring wavelengths, deviation of refracted rays, and angles between faces of a prism, especially an instrument (prism spectrometer) consisting of a slit through which light passes, a collimator, a prism that deviates the light, and a telescope through which the deviated light is viewed and examined.
- speedometer — an instrument on an automobile or other vehicle for indicating the rate of travel in miles or kilometers per hour.
- thermometer — an instrument for measuring temperature, often a sealed glass tube that contains a column of liquid, as mercury, that expands and contracts, or rises and falls, with temperature changes, the temperature being read where the top of the column coincides with a calibrated scale marked on the tube or its frame.

- anemometer — an instrument for recording the speed and often the direction of winds
- densitometer — an instrument for measuring the optical density of a material by directing a beam of light onto the specimen and measuring its transmission or reflection
- gas thermometer — a device for measuring temperature by observing the change in either pressure or volume of an enclosed gas.
- goniometer — an instrument for measuring solid angles, as of crystals.
- magnetometer — an instrument for measuring the intensity of a magnetic field, especially the earth's magnetic field.
- mass spectrometer — a device for identifying the kinds of particles present in a given substance: the particles are ionized and beamed through an electromagnetic field and the manner in which they are deflected is indicative of their mass and, thus, their identity.
