Study Notes
Stainless Steel Rulers and Micrometers
- Stainless steel rulers come in various sizes (12, 24, 36 inches)
- They are strong and resistant to damage
- Micrometers measure in both millimeters and inches
- Measure to 1/1000th of an inch or a millimeter
Types of Micrometers
- Outside micrometers measure the outside dimensions of an item
- Inside micrometers measure the inside dimensions of an item
- Depth micrometers measure the depth of an item
Telescoping Gauges
- Used for measuring distances in awkward areas, like the bottom of deep cylinders
- Uses spring-loaded plungers that can be unlocked
- Can slide out to touch cylinder walls
Split Ball Gauges
- Good for measuring small holes
- Similar mechanism to telescoping gauges
Football Gauges
- Ideal for measuring valve guides and cylinder heads' inside diameters
Dial-Board Gauges
- Used to measure bores with high accuracy
- Measures diameter changes due to wear, taper, or out-of-roundness
- Accuracy is based on manufacturer's specifications
- Resolution typically 1/10,000th of an inch or 1/100th of a millimeter
