Air gages have been reliable tools for more than 70 years, providing accurate and repeatable measures of diameter, depth, parallelism, taper and flatness.
I hate paperwork. In fact, I think the only redeeming quality most of it has is the fact that it is combustible and therefore great for starting fires in my fireplace.
In my last column I beat up on the calibration of adjustable thread ring gages. Since I’m a nice guy, I thought it only fair that non-adjustable or solid thread ring gage calibration get similar treatment.
JG&A Metrology Center now utilizes NIST traceable calibration features on all CT systems to further validate system accuracy for repeatability and consistency.
With a solid 25-year track record, countless auditor recommendations and chosen by over 12,000 facilities worldwide, GAGEtrak is the #1 calibration management software solution in the world.
This question is prompted by another round-robin type study involving the calibration of thread plug gages, the results of which were predictable because similar studies over the past twenty years or so have produced similar results.
