Technology


	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.

Materials


	Materials
	Your choices are...
	Aluminum		A ductile, lightweight metal that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation.

	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.

Applications



	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.

	Computes Areas and Volumes		The device can compute areas and volumes.
	Cross Vial / Dual Axis Capability		Levels having the ability to assess level or inclination along two axes. This capability is usually developed using two vials orientated perpendicular to each other.
	Distance Conversion		The device can convert from imperial to metric units.
	Gage Set / Tool Kit		A set of several gages and accessories packaged into a kit. They are usually packaged in a case with adjusting tools. Tool kits sometimes contain alternate extensions, contact tips, holders, bases, and standards.

	Locking Feature		The measuring tool can be locked in the fixed position.
	Magnetic Holding / Clamping		Magnetic base, insert, or a magnetized component that provides clamping or holding capability. The features may allow the tool or accessory to be clamped or attached to machines, instrument, or other equipment.
	Non-contact		Non-contact gages and gaging systems measure the dimensional features of a part without making contact with these features. Typically, non-contact instruments are used when a part's function or assembly does not allow for marring or damage to the part during measurement.
	OEM / Machine Mounted		Machine mounted gages, odometers, or scales are designed to measure the length, distance, travel or position changes on an OEM's product or machine. Odometers are often part of an automobile, truck, or vehicle design because lifetime is measured by mileage on vehicular products. In machine tool applications, OEM scales or gages measure the travel or position changes of a machine bed, table, or stage on lathes, milling machines, CNC routers, and drill presses. Linear scales are frequently used for machine travel indication. These scales are typically mounted on the machine or are designed into the product. These devices are built into machine tools, microscopes or other instruments requiring dimensional measurement or position control.
	Plumb Vial / Vertical Capability		Levels with a vial orientated to facilitate checking of vertical inclination or plumbness.
	Power Return		Power return indicates a tape measure with an internal power spring to rewind the tape automatically. The alternative is a hand-cranked reel.
	Self-Leveling		Level or plumb measuring instrument with an automatic leveling capability. Some transits or rotary lasers levels have an automatic leveling feature.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary ruling graduations.
