NATO Supply Class 5210 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 52, which is dedicated to measuring tools. Specifically, Class 5210 focuses on measuring tools used by craftsmen.

Measuring tools are essential for craftsmen as they enable accurate and precise measurements, ensuring the quality and precision of their work. Class 5210 includes a wide range of measuring tools that craftsmen use in various industries, such as construction, woodworking, metalworking, and engineering.

Some common examples of measuring tools found in Class 5210 include:

1. Tape Measures: Used for measuring distances and lengths. They typically have a flexible tape with markings in both metric and imperial units.

2. Calipers: Used for measuring the distance between two opposite sides of an object. Calipers can be either digital or analog and come in various types, such as vernier calipers, dial calipers, and digital calipers.

3. Micrometers: Used for precise measurements of small objects or components. Micrometers provide accurate readings in micrometers (µm) or thousandths of an inch.

4. Levels: Used for determining if a surface is level or plumb. Levels can be bubble levels, laser levels, or digital levels.

5. Gauges: Used for measuring various parameters, such as thickness, diameter, or depth. Examples include thread gauges, feeler gauges, and bore gauges.

6. Protractors: Used for measuring angles. Protractors can be either circular or digital, and they help craftsmen achieve accurate angular measurements.

These are just a few examples of the measuring tools included in NATO Supply Class 5210. Craftsmen rely on these tools to ensure precision and accuracy in their work, ultimately contributing to the overall quality of their craftsmanship.
