How do you use a dial indicator bore gauge?
Here’s how to use a dial bore gauge:
- Zero the gauge. This is accomplished by measuring across the gauge with an outside micrometer set to the precise bore size.
- Insert the gauge into the bore to the depth you need. Rock it back and forth until it’s properly inserted in the pipe.
- Look at the reading.
What is dial bore indicator?
A dial bore gage is an instrument that measures the inner diameter of small holes. Bore gages are critical when it comes to measuring parts that have small holes in them. Typically, these versatile instruments are used as part of a quality control process to ensure that bore sizes are standardized.
How accurate are bore gauges?
0.0001 inches
When a dial bore gauge is set using a ring gauge, overall accuracy can be within 0.0001 inches or 0.00254 millimeter.
What is the use of dial bore gauge and vernier gauge?
A bore gauge is a tool used to measure the inside of a bore, or hole. Once a bore gauge is inserted into the hole that needs measuring, small parts called anvils expand outward to determine the diameter.

1.4″ to 2.5″
The dial bore gages from Mitutoyo come with a measuring range of 1.4″ to 2.5″ with graduation of 0.0005″ or 0.0001″. The measuring depth of these gages comes up to 6″.
What are the types of bore gauge?
The main categories that bore gauges fall under are telescopic, small-hole, dial and digital. Telescopic bore gauges are one of the cheaper, albeit trickier options when it comes to bore gauges.
How do I calibrate dial test indicator?
Detailed Procedure
- Using index finger, depress the IUT contact point slowly and evenly over the full range, slowly allow the contact point to return to its starting position.
- Securely position the attachment arm onto the indicator checker.
- Position the micrometer thimble and test indicator to obtain zero readings.
How does a dial gauge work?
The working principle of the Dial Indicators is that the movement of the spindle multiplied with the reading of the main scale due to the indication of the needle. In addition to this, at the main scale rotation of pinions and gears is indicated. The plunger which meshes with P1 and G1.
What is Baty bore gauge?
Baty bore gauges are an indicator type gauge used to measure the dimensional variation inside an injection molding or an extruder barrel. However, they may be used wherever there is an inner diameter that has to be reached to measure.
What is a Baty dial thickness gauge?
Baty dial thickness gauges are direct reading instruments for quick and accurate measurement of rod, strip or sheet material. All standard instruments are supplied with 10mm (0.39″) diameter flat contacts.
What is a dial bore gauge used for?
Dial bore gauges allow rapid and accurate checking of bores for: size, ovality, taper and wear within a deep bore. At any time your equipment is shut down and you want to check barrel for wear.
