Radius Gauge Set
Description
A Radius Gauge Set is a precision measuring tool used to check the radius of curved surfaces such as fillets, corners, and arcs. It consists of multiple thin blades, each with a specific radius, used for accurate comparison and inspection.
Uses
- Measuring internal and external radii
- Checking fillets and curved profiles
- Used in inspection and layout work
- Ensuring accuracy in machining operations
Parts
- Set of radius blades
- Pivot screw or holder
- Markings (radius size on each blade)
Material
- Hardened and tempered steel
- Anti-rust coated finish
Working Principle
The Radius Gauge Set works on the principle of comparison. The appropriate blade is selected and placed against the curved surface. If the blade fits perfectly without any gap, the radius of the workpiece matches the gauge size.
Advantages
- Simple and easy to use
- Provides quick and accurate measurement
- Compact and portable
- Suitable for both internal and external radii
Safety Precautions
- Handle blades carefully to avoid damage
- Keep the gauge clean and free from dirt
- Avoid bending or dropping the blades
- Store properly after use
Conclusion
The Radius Gauge Set is an essential precision instrument for measuring and inspecting curved surfaces. It ensures accuracy and quality in machining and inspection work.
