dial gauge
Needle-based measuring instrument
A dial gauge is a measuring instrument that displays readings on a circular dial face rather than a digital screen or linear scale.
The needle rotates to indicate measurements, typically of pressure, speed, or small distances.
Dial gauges are common in machining and automotive contexts: The mechanic checked the tire pressure with a dial gauge.
