Overview

Precision measurement instruments differ from normal measurement tools because of their ability to measure with a greater degree of precision and accuracy. This course covers how to properly use small hole gauges, dial indicators, bore gauges, height gauges, Go/NoGo gauges, and test indicators.

By the end of this course, you will be able to

• Identify all the parts of a small hole gauge and how they work together to measure
• Use the small hole gauge to accurately measure a diameter and width
• Explain the purpose of a dial indicator
• Explain how to perform a measurement with a dial indicator
• Identify the most common types of bore gauges
• Demonstrate how to use different types of bore gauges to inspect hole size and hole shape
• Explain the purpose and function of a height gauge
• Use a height gauge to measure a vertical distance
• Use a Go/NoGo gauge to inspect hole features
• Explain the purpose of a test indicator
• Use a test indicator to perform a comparative measurement
