Dial Bore Gauge
Description
A Dial Bore Gauge is a precision measuring instrument used to measure the internal diameter of holes, cylinders, and bores with high accuracy. It works with a dial indicator that displays small variations in size, making it ideal for checking wear, taper, and out-of-roundness in engine cylinders and other components.
Parts
- Dial Indicator: Displays measurement readings.
- Measuring Head: Contacts the inner surface of the bore.
- Anvils/Contact Points: Adjustable tips for different sizes.
- Handle: Provides grip and control.
- Extension Rods: Used for measuring different bore depths.
Material
- Alloy Steel Components
- Hardened Steel Contact Points
- Plastic or Metal Dial Housing
Uses
- Measuring internal diameters
- Checking cylinder wear and taper
- Inspecting bore accuracy
- Precision engineering and quality control
Safety
- Handle carefully to maintain accuracy.
- Keep the instrument clean and calibrated.
- Avoid dropping or mishandling.
- Use correct size anvils for measurement.
- Store properly after use.
