There are several types of portable gauging used for measuring various parameters, including:
Digital Calipers: These are used to measure the distance between two points, thickness, and diameter of objects. They come in various sizes and can be used for both internal and external measurements.
Micrometers: These are used for highly accurate measurements of small distances, usually in the range of 0-1 inch. They are commonly used in engineering and manufacturing industries.
Dial indicators: These portable gauging measure small displacements, usually in the range of 0-1 inch, and are commonly used to check the alignment of machinery.
Laser distance meters: These use a laser to measure the distance between two points and are commonly used in construction and interior design.
Ultrasonic thickness portable gauging: These use sound waves to measure the thickness of materials, such as metal, plastic, and glass.
Coating thickness portable gauging: These are used to measure the thickness of coatings on surfaces, such as paint, powder, and other materials.
Force portable gauging: These measure the force required to compress, bend, or twist an object and are commonly used in materials testing.
