  2. Lapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapping

    The easiest method for measuring flatness is with a height gauge positioned on a surface plate. You must set up the part on three stands and find the minimum variation while adjusting them, just placing the part on the surface plate and using a dial indicator to find TIR on the opposite side of the part measures parallelism. Flatness is more ...

  3. Dial (measurement) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dial_(measurement)

    A dial is generally a flat surface, circular or rectangular, with numbers or similar markings on it, used for displaying the setting or output of a timepiece, radio, clock, watch, or measuring instrument. [1] Many scientific and industrial instruments use dials with pointers to indicate physical properties.

  4. Indicator (distance amplifying instrument) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator_(distance...

    0.01–20 mm dial indicator. Probe indicators typically consist of a graduated dial and needle driven by a clockwork (thus the clock terminology) to record the minor increments, with a smaller embedded clock face and needle to record the number of needle rotations on the main dial. The dial has fine gradations for precise measurement.

  5. Gauge (instrument) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_(instrument)

    Dial indicator, also known as a dial test indicator, dial gauge, or probe indicator an instrument used to accurately measure small linear distances. Feeler gauge: a simple tool used to measure gap widths. Gauge block, (also known as a gage block, Johansson gauge, slip gauge, or Jo block) a precision ground and lapped length measuring standard.

  6. Gauge block - Wikipedia

    Metric gauge block set, 112 pcs Another set with 8 pcs, 125 mm - 500 mm Trolley model. Gauge blocks (also known as gage blocks, Johansson gauges, slip gauges, or Jo blocks) are a system for producing precision lengths. The individual gauge block is a metal or ceramic block that has been precision ground and lapped to a specific thickness. Gauge ...

  7. Surface plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_plate

    In this process, three approximately flat surfaces are progressively refined to precise flatness by manually rubbing them against each other in pairs with colouring matter in between, and then hand-scraping the high points. Any errors of flatness are removed by this scraping, since the only stable, mutually conjugate surface shape is a plane.

  8. Calipers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calipers

    Instead of using a vernier mechanism, which requires some practice to use, the dial caliper reads the final fraction of a millimeter or inch on a simple dial. In this instrument, a small, precise rack and pinion drives a pointer on a circular dial , allowing direct reading without the need to read a vernier scale.

  9. Snap gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap_gauge

    Snap go/no go gauge and indicator snap gauge. A snap gauge is a form of go/no go gauge.It is a limit gauge with permanently or temporarily fixed measurement aperture(s) (gaps) which is used to quickly verify whether an outside dimension of a part matches a preset dimension or falls within predefined tolerances.
