Morphology
The phrase 'measuring device' is directly compositional: 'measuring' (the act/process of quantifying) modifies 'device' (an instrument), so the meaning 'an instrument used to measure' is transparently derived from the parts. This noun+noun modifier pattern is cross-linguistically common and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Measuring device is a simple name made from measuring (to check size) and device (a tool). Picture a small tool with a scale or screen that tells you how long, heavy, or hot something is, and that's why it means 'an instrument used to determine the size, amount, or degree of something'.
