FAQs
What are the pros and cons of a gap gauge?
Pros:
Very quick way to gauge an external diameter or groove.
Ability to gauge long shafts quickly, no need to slide on a ring gauge.
Can measure between shoulders.
Cons:
Diameter is only checked at two points, roundness is not checked.
How often do I need to calibrate my gauge?
There is no fixed time, calibration frequency is based on how often the gauge is used and the conditions that the gauge is exposed to. Frequent use and abrasive materials will require more frequent calibration, low use in a clean environment will allow less frequent calibration. Usually the user determines the calibration frequency.
Can a gauge be made to my own specification?
Yes, we can design special gauges for your manufacturing process.
