Thickness Gage

Thickness gauges are measuring tools used to determine the thickness or depth of an object or material. They are commonly used in various industries such as manufacturing, construction, and engineering.

In the supply class Measuring Tools, Craftsmen's, thickness gauges are specifically designed for craftsmen or skilled workers who require precise measurements in their work. These gauges are typically more accurate and durable compared to general-purpose thickness gauges.

Thickness gauges can come in different forms, including:

1. Feeler Gauges: These consist of a set of thin metal strips of varying thicknesses. They are used to measure gaps or clearances between two surfaces.

2. Dial Thickness Gauges: These gauges have a dial indicator that displays the thickness measurement. They are commonly used in quality control and inspection processes.

3. Digital Thickness Gauges: These gauges use electronic sensors to measure thickness and display the results digitally. They offer higher accuracy and ease of use compared to analog gauges.

4. Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges: These gauges use ultrasonic waves to measure the thickness of materials, especially metals. They are commonly used in non-destructive testing applications.

5. Micrometer Thickness Gauges: These gauges use a calibrated screw mechanism to measure thickness. They are highly accurate and suitable for precise measurements.

Overall, thickness gauges are essential tools for craftsmen and professionals who need to measure the thickness of materials accurately. They help ensure the quality and precision of their work.
