Pacific Energy Center Tool Lending Library

The Pacific Energy Center Tool Lending Library is an amazing resource.  If you are a California Public Utility customer or doing work for such a customer, you can borrow instruments to measure and log data in your facilities at no charge.   

​The library has thousands of instruments ranging from simple hand-held multi-function tools to data loggers to power loggers to air data multi-meters to transient time ultrasonic flow meters.  

Even if you don't live in California, the library's inventory viewer is a great way to learn about what types of instrument you might use to measure a particular parameter and who makes them.  And their Application Notes are great resources for learning how to properly go about taken different measurements.
