TYPES OF DIAL GAUGE HOW TO USE DIAL GAUGE Mass production Check the flatness of component Check the roundness Use at a temperature range from 10 °F to 170 °F (-12 °C to 75 °C) Least count is 0.01 mm CALIBRATION OF DIAL GAUGE CALIBRATION CERTIFICATE MAKE , RANGE AND PRICE DIAL GAUGE AT NUV WORKSHOP ERROR IN DIAL GAUGE When we measuring the amplitudes and vibration, the dial gauge is found to be two major errors, At low frequency Due to the weakness of hairspring which takes up backlash in the mechanism. At high frequency It is produced by jumping of the gauge finger. It is postponed by using stronger gauge spring. Error = Actual reading – Instrumental reading % Error = Error x 100 / Actual reading ADVANTAGE Accuracy is as high as 0.01 mm. Operating Range up to 100 mm Easy to Read Quick in use if only comparison is required. LIMITATIONS Does not Measure but will only indicate differences in size. Easily damaged if mishandled. Loss of Accuracy through number of moving parts.
