10-inch and 100-millimetre sine bars. In the U.S., 5-inch sine bars are the most common size. [1] Angles are measured using a sine bar with the help of gauge blocks and a dial gauge or a spirit level. The aim of a measurement is to measure the surface on which the dial gauge or spirit level is placed horizontally.
Surface plates are a common tool in the manufacturing industry and are often fitted with mounting points so that it can be an integrated structural element of a machine such as a coordinate-measuring machine, precision optical assembly, or other high precision scientific & industrial machine. Plates are typically square or rectangular, although ...
A gauge block accessory set A holder that turns a stack of gauge blocks into an instant, custom caliper or go/no go gauge.. The pictured accessories provide a set of holders and tools to extend the usefulness of the gauge block set.
Each assembly has two parallel steel plates joined by welded stringers or tie bars. The assemblies are then moved to the job site and placed with a crane. Finally, the space between the plate walls is filled with concrete. [1] The method provides excellent strength because the steel is on the outside, where tensile forces are often greatest.
The [U.S.] National Coarse series of pre-1949 corresponds today to the Unified National Coarse (UNC) of the Unified Thread Standard. NCM: nonconforming material(s) This abbreviation is used in a machine shop when recording nonconformances (out of tolerance, etc.). For example, "An NCM tag was tied to the scrap part." NCR: nonconformance report
An abrasive flow machine normally includes two medium chambers equipped with hydraulic rams, a fixture for holding the workpiece, and a clamping system that holds all the components tightly together. [ 3 ] [ 1 ] Most machines allow for the loading of different types of abrasive medium, and include the capacity to adjust the pressure used in ...

Sir Joseph Whitworth popularized the first practical method of making accurate flat surfaces during the 1830s, [2] using engineer's blue and scraping techniques on three trial surfaces, in what is known as Whitworth's three plates method. [3] By testing all three in pairs against each other, it is ensured that the surfaces become flat.
