Dial Indicating Thickness Gage

A Dial Indicating Thickness Gage is a measuring tool used to measure the thickness of various materials. It consists of a dial indicator mounted on a frame with a measuring contact or anvil. The dial indicator has a needle that moves in response to the contact being pressed against the material being measured.

The gage is typically used in industries such as manufacturing, engineering, and quality control to ensure the accuracy and consistency of material thickness. It is commonly used to measure the thickness of metal sheets, plastic films, paper, and other similar materials.

To use a Dial Indicating Thickness Gage, you would place the material between the measuring contact and the anvil, and then gently press the contact against the material. The dial indicator will then display the thickness measurement on its dial, allowing you to read the measurement accurately.

These gages are commonly found in the supply class Measuring Tools, specifically in the Craftsmen's category, which typically includes high-quality and precision measuring tools used by skilled craftsmen and professionals. They are part of the larger supply group Measuring Tools, which encompasses a wide range of tools used for measuring various dimensions and quantities accurately.

Overall, Dial Indicating Thickness Gages are essential tools for precise thickness measurements in various industries, ensuring quality control and accurate manufacturing processes.
