What is a Thickness Gage?

A Thickness Gage (GAGE,THICKNESS) is one or more tempered steel blades (leaves) ground to and marked with their respective thickness and mounted in a holder or encased within a frame or case into which the leaves fold. It is used for checking narrow slots or gaging the clearance between fitted parts. Excludes BLADE, THICKNESS GAGE. See also GAGE, GAP SETTING.

What is a Bench Level?

A Bench Level (LEVEL,BENCH) is a very sensitive instrument used to establish accurately the horizontal plane. It consists of a machined and scraped metal base with an involute groove or flat base. It has an adjustable or nonadjustable vial which may be graduated or plain. It has no mounting facilities.

What is a Circular Vial Cylindrical Level?

A Circular Vial Cylindrical Level (LEVEL,CYLINDRICAL,CIRCULAR VIAL) is a precision instrument used to determine a horizontal plane in all directions on one setting. It is centrally located in relation to the periphery of the top of the item, for centering the bubble. The item may be mounted to a cylinder.

What is a Dial Indicator?

A Dial Indicator (INDICATOR,DIAL) is a mechanism for amplifying and measuring the displacement of a movable contact point, thereby measuring a dimension or variation from a standard dimension. It consists essentially of a case with means for mounting the indicator, a spindle carrying the contact point, an amplifying mechanism, a pointer and a graduated dial. May include accessories and/or attachments. Excludes INDICATOR, SCALE. See also GAGE, DEPTH, DIAL INDICATING.

What is a Gap Setting Gage?

A Gap Setting Gage (GAGE,GAP SETTING) is a specially designed measuring tool having one or more thickness blades and/or wire feelers encased in or attached to an appropriate holder. The blade type must have an air gap adjusting tool used for bending the prongs of spark plug electrodes and the like; whereas the wire feeler type may have such an adjusting tool. Excludes GAGE, THICKNESS.

What is a Level Vial?

A Level Vial (VIAL,LEVEL) is a small transparent vessel, inclosing a liquid with an air bubble. It is the indicating part of a level. The item may be cylindrical in shape, or a comparatively flat, cicular item, but does not have a mounting hardware. For mounted items and items including mounting or mounting hardware, see LEVEL (as modified).

What is a Multiple Folding Rule?

A Multiple Folding Rule (RULE,MULTIPLE FOLDING) is a graduated measuring instrument of wood or metal with folding joints usually every 6 inches (152.4 mm) along its length between sides. Excludes RULE, CARPENTER'S FOLDING.

What is an Inside Micrometer Caliper?

An Inside Micrometer Caliper (CALIPER,MICROMETER,INSIDE) is a precision adjustable end measuring instrument designed for making accurate internal linear measurements of cylinders, rings, and the like. It consists of a micrometer head with either extension rods or slide caliper-style jaws.

What is a Measuring Tape?

A Measuring Tape (TAPE,MEASURING) is a narrow strip of flexible material graduated with markings to indicate a specific type of measure such as arithmetic, geometric, metric, or the like. All tapes are used principally in measuring distances and dimensions too long to be measured by a ruler, are usually enclosed into a case with accommodations for rewinding and may or may not have a ring at one end. Includes dressmaker tapes to heavy-duty types sometimes called surveyor's chains, usually mounted in reels with holding handles.

What is a Meterstick?

A Meterstick is a one piece measuring instrument one meter (39.37 inches) long and graduated in millimeters. It is usually made of wood and may have additional graduations in inches.

NATO Supply Class 5210 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 52, which is dedicated to measuring tools. Specifically, Class 5210 focuses on measuring tools used by craftsmen.

Measuring tools are essential for craftsmen as they enable accurate and precise measurements, ensuring the quality and precision of their work. Class 5210 includes a wide range of measuring tools that craftsmen use in various industries, such as construction, woodworking, metalworking, and engineering.

Some common examples of measuring tools found in Class 5210 include:

1. Tape Measures: Used for measuring distances and lengths. They typically have a flexible tape with markings in both metric and imperial units.

2. Calipers: Used for measuring the distance between two opposite sides of an object. Calipers can be either digital or analog and come in various types, such as vernier calipers, dial calipers, and digital calipers.

3. Micrometers: Used for precise measurements of small objects or components. Micrometers provide accurate readings in micrometers (µm) or thousandths of an inch.

4. Levels: Used for determining if a surface is level or plumb. Levels can be bubble levels, laser levels, or digital levels.

5. Gauges: Used for measuring various parameters, such as thickness, diameter, or depth. Examples include thread gauges, feeler gauges, and bore gauges.

6. Protractors: Used for measuring angles. Protractors can be either circular or digital, and they help craftsmen achieve accurate angular measurements.

These are just a few examples of the measuring tools included in NATO Supply Class 5210. Craftsmen rely on these tools to ensure precision and accuracy in their work, ultimately contributing to the overall quality of their craftsmanship.
