|
| ||
| Measuring Technology | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Electronic | Electronic gages use LVDT, capacitance, inductive, or other electronic probes to sense distance or displacement of a contact or stylus. | ||
| Mechanical | Mechanical gages use comparison or the physical movement and displacement of a gaging element (e.g., spindle, slide, stem) to determine the dimensions of a part or feature. | ||
| Optical / Laser | Gages that use optical, laser, infrared, or video based technology to measure dimensional features. | ||
| Ultrasound | The device uses ultrasound measuring technology. | ||
| Vial / Spirit | Vials are used in some levels and consist of a glass tube (vial) filled with a bubble and liquid. The position of the bubble indicates inclination or plumbness. Some vials are ground and have graduated scales to determine the degrees of inclination from horizontal. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary technology type. | ||

|
| ||
| Reading Method / Display | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| None (Nongraduated) | A gage that does not have a display or graduated scale. Fixed gages, squares, angle gages, or straight edges are available without a display. These gages are used for comparative or Go / No-Go gaging and measurement transfer. Electronic or optical measuring tools may be provided without a display and a used by attaching to a remote display. | ||
| Direct Reading Scale | A direct reading graduated scale has ruling or graduations engraved or printed onto a linear, disc, or drum surface that provide a direct indication of the dimension of a part, the inclination of a surface, or the angle between two surfaces. | ||
| Dial | Dial or dial indicating type displays use a pointer or needle mounted in a graduated, disc dial. The dial provides an indication of dimension or position around or from a zero reference point. | ||
| Digital Display | The display information is presented in alphanumeric form, generally using a lighted LCD panel. | ||
| Vernier Scale | A Vernier reading graduated scale has rulings or graduations engraved or printed onto a set of linear or drum surfaces. The main scale provides an indication of the gaged dimension to an intermediate precision level (e.g., tenths). The Vernier scale provides additional amplification or an increased level of precision (e.g., thousandths). | ||

Applications
Back to Top
|
|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Automotive / Transportation | The gage, odometer, or distance meter is designed or suitable for automotive, truck, train, aircraft, rail, shipping or other transportation application. | ||
| Construction / Building Site | Measuring tools used by contractors, carpenters, surveyors, or builders, for framing, layout, or rafters or stairs, foundation construction, cabinetry, mapping, executing site plans and checking building, or wall surfaces. Typically, construction tools require a greater measurement range, higher durability and less precision than machine shop measuring tools or gages. | ||
| Drafting | Measuring tools for drafting, graphing, navigation plotting or drawing that have sufficient precision, but are generally less rugged compared to machine shop or tool room products. | ||
| Light Duty / Office | Lower precision, light weight, or lower cost measuring tools or instruments for office, residential, drafting, or other nondemanding end use. | ||
| Machine Shop / Tool Room | Precision measuring tools used by machinists, engineers, technicians or operators for layout, machine set up and checking of surfaces or parts. | ||
| Surveying / Field Work | Measuring tools used by surveyors or field technologists for mapping, executing site plans, and checking building or wall surfaces. Typically, surveying tools require a greater measurement range and higher durability than machine shop measuring tools or gages. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary applications. | ||

| Materials | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Aluminum | A ductile, lightweight metal that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation. | ||
| Brass / Bronze | Brass and bronze are copper based alloys strengthened with additions of tin, zinc and other alloying elements. Brass and bronze alloys are machinable and have good corrosion resistance. | ||
| Plastic | Any of numerous organic, synthetic, or processed materials that consisting mainly of thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight and that can be made into objects, films, or filaments. | ||
| Steel | A commercial iron alloy that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. Steel is formable in the annealed or unhardened condition. Steel can develop high strength and hardness after heat treatment or work hardening. Steel is distinguished from cast iron by its ductility and lower carbon content. | ||
| Steel - Stainless | Stainless steel is rust and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high-pressure ratings. Stainless steel contains a base of iron with additions of chromium and nickel and other elements depending on the specific alloy. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary material. | ||
