Measuring Squareness with Air
The right angle is one of those things that man has created in his mind. In nature, it only happens by chance. But the importance of this concept—which results from the perpendicular intersection of lines or surfaces—applies to many things, including architecture, civil engineering, agriculture, and manufacturing.
There are a number of different terms used to describe this relationship, including “perpendicularity,” “90 degrees,” “normalcy,” and “squareness.” In engineering products, which may not have perpendicular surfaces, the right angle is used in the dimensioning of rectangular coordinates. In manufacturing, the implementation and measurement of perpendicularity is never perfect and is assessed as having achieved a higher or lesser degree of perpendicularity.
