Digital Gauges

Digital Gauges is small instrument that contains load cell. electric part, software and display. Load cell is an elctronic device that is used to convert a force into an electric signal. through a mechanical arrangement, the force being sensed deforms a strain gauge.

The strain gauge converts the deformation into electrical signals and thus software & electronics of the gauge converts voltage of cell into a force that is displayed on the digital instrument.

Fixed gages

Fixed Gages

These gages may be classified as fixed master gages or fixed limit gages.

Master gages are used as reference for standard calibrating direct measuring tools with periodic adjustment.

Fixed limit gages are used to determine whether the product is within prescribed limits ( inspection gages).


Types of gages

They are three types of gages

1. Fixed gages


2. Indicating gages


3. Combination gages

Gauge

Introduction of gauge

  1. Its a device/ equipment used for investigation the dimensional fitness of a part for a specified function
  2. It is defined as a process of measuring manufactured materials to get specified uniform sizes and contour required by the industries.
Modern gauges requires extensive use of gauges for workshop, inspection & reference.

Shop gauges are used by workmen.

Inspection gauges are used by inspection department for checking the manufactured materials.

Reference gauges are used for checking the other 2 types.
