dial gauge

Or perhaps a vertical machining center with a dial gauge in it.

Experts advise buying a dial gauge that holds the reading after it is taken.

The load beam transfers the movement from the grip to the dial gauge.

Dial Gauge is used to measure the strain.

The aim of a measurement is to make the surface on which the dial gauge or spirit level is placed horizontal.

Dial gauges are also more expensive: they cost about $7 to $25 or more.

The uplift beam helps to monitor the slab deflection and has to have sensitive dial gauges.

Angles are measured using a sine bar with the help of gauge blocks and a dial gauge or a spirit level.

Here also the dial gauge is mounted over the cylindrical body and thus the roundness is measured by similar procedure as above.

Its sensitivity is approximately that of a standard 6-inch dial gauge of the Bourdon tube type.

Thus the error in roundness can be directly known by comparing the peak height as measured by the dial gauge.

Again a dial gauge is placed over the round object and the object is rotated keeping the datum at constant position.

In 1987, Consumer Reports magazine found that every dial gauge tested lost its accuracy after being dropped onto a concrete floor from a height of three feet.

In 1965 a locating pin for finding TDC was added to allow timing without the use of a dial gauge.

The big advantage of the dial gauge is readability: the pressure is measured by a needle moving across a face, which is usually marked at one-pound intervals.

From individual load point application of individual load components with corresponding dial gauges to electronic equipment capable of applying all the loads with constant data recording facilities.

The cheaper single-stage regulators may sometimes omit the cylinder contents gauge, or replace the accurate dial gauge with a cheaper and less precise "rising button" gauge.

A disadvantage of dial gauges is that they break more easily than pencil or digital models and will not withstand bumping around in a glove compartment as well as a pencil gauge.

In this in-situ collapse/consolidation test, water is added to the sample under constant load, and the deformation is read from the dial gauges to be seen in the middle of the picture.

Various names are used for indicators of different types and purposes, including dial gauge, clock, probe indicator, pointer, test indicator, dial test indicator, drop indicator, plunger indicator, and others.

A more sophisticated variation of the beam type torque wrench has a dial gauge indicator on its body that can be configured to give a visual indication, or electrical indication, or both when a preset torque is reached.

The crank shaft of the 360 degree parallel twin was supported on only two main bearings and as more power was developed from the engine a noticeable flex could be measured using a dial gauge placed on the end of the shaft.

Charlotte Hart Cuomo, the marketing director at Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories , a California mail-order company that has a showroom on South Robertson Boulevard, said the numbered displays were easier to read than pencil or dial gauges.
