A comparator is a precision instrument used to compare the Dimensions of a given working component with the actual working standard. There are different types of comparators are available. In this article, we are going to discuss the Electrical comparators and Electronic Comparators. Electrical comparators convert the linear movement of the plunger into electrical signals and these signals further calibrated with […]

Radius Gauges | Fillet Gauges | How to use Fillet Gauges?
Radius Gauges are also known for Fillet gauges. In metrology, Fillet gauges designed to check/measure both internal and external radii on curved surfaces. This is not a precision measuring instrument, rather it allows the user to quickly determine the fillet value. By the way, Are the Fillet and Radius are the same? No.Not exactly. There is a […]
What is Wire Gauge? How to Use Wire Gauge? Wire Gauge Tables
In Metrology, Wire gauges are used to measure the diameters of the wires. These wire gauges are available in a circular or oblong shape and it is having notches along the edges of the shape(as shown in below picture) and each notch is stamped with wire size number. This wire gauge can also be used […]

What is Slip Gauges or Gauge Blocks?
Slip Gauges are known as Gauge Blocks. They are Precise Measuring instruments. These Slip Gauges are universally accepted end Standard of length. You know, Johanson first introduced the slip gauges, so they can be called as Johanson gauges as well. And he is a Sweedish Engineer. Construction of Slip Gauge / Gauge Blocks / Johanson gauges […]
What is a Comparator in Metrology ? | Types of Comparators
In Metrology, The comparator is a Precision Instrument, which is used to compare the dimensions of the given component with the actual working standard. The Comparator is an indirect type of precision measurement because it will not measure the dimension, it will indicate the difference in measurement between the given component and working standard, and another […]
