Gauge Blocks are a set of precision-cut steel or ceramic blocks of different thicknesses used as a length standard for calibration of precision machine tools such as height gauges, bore micrometers, micrometers, and calipers. Gauge Blocks can be stacked to various lengths without adhesives or magnetism by a process called wringing. Wringing involves pushing the … Read more
Learning about how to read a dial caliper is about learning how to read its main and dial scale. The main scale is linear like the ruler, while the dial/secondary scale is circular. Simply, if you ask how to read dial caliper, you have to master these two scales. There is an imperial or metric … Read more
Reading a digital caliper is easier compared to reading a vernier caliper or dial caliper. It automatically displays the reading on the LCD screen. So, there is no need to calculate the main and the secondary scale. It requires less time and effort to read the measurements. Although it’s easier, when it comes to how … Read more
Reading vernier caliper takes more steps than reading dial caliper or reading digital caliper. The users have to manually calculate both the scales (the main scale and the vernier scale). Vernier scale calculation, especially, is the contrasting thing when compared to reading those two types of caliper. Your eyes have to be careful when deciding … Read more
Two things to get a better understanding of how the gauss meter works: Hall effect and Lorentz force. Gauss meter works making use of the Hall effect. The semiconductor of the Hall effect sensor is charged with current. The magnetic field will pull or push electrons in the semiconductor and then creating voltage differences. This … Read more
Capacitance is the electronic component’s ability to store energy (in the form of an electric charge) that is generated by different voltages. The electronic component that stores energy is called a capacitor. To measure the capacitance of a capacitor, we need an electronic measurement device that is called a capacitor tester or capacitance tester. To … Read more
One thing you have to always keep in mind when using a dial indicator is the angle that it shapes to the surface must be 90°. In other words, the plunger and the surface being measured must be perpendicular. This angle is important in order to obtain correct measurement results and prevent cosine error. Though … Read more
A digital dial indicator or commonly referred to the digital indicator is the electronic type of dial indicator. When people demand speed, a digital indicator excels it. Instead of calculating the two scales, a digital indicator shows the reading on the screen which lets you quickly know the measurement result. You don’t need to manually … Read more
You are indeed about to use a multimeter, oscilloscope, clamp meter, capacitor tester, etc which are classified as electronic measuring instruments when your job is in regard to the electronic world. Some of the electronic measuring instrument’s basic working principle is to send or create signals to stimulate and get the responses of electronic components … Read more
Dial bore gauge allows you to measure the internal diameter of a cylinder hole with better speed and accuracy. As the name suggests, it comes with a dial indicator to display the reading in real-time. The long shaft lets you reach the internal diameter down the deeper area. Since it’s used to measure the hole’s … Read more
