Overview

Precision measurement instruments differ from normal measurement tools because of their ability to measure with a greater degree of precision and accuracy. Some precision instruments help you identify the correct fastener to use, while others ensure the installed fastener meets the engineering requirements. This course covers how to properly use grip gauges, countersink gauges, fastener height gauges, rivet inspection gauges, fastener inspection gauges, and gap inspection gauges.

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

• Identify all of the parts of a grip gauge and how they work together to determine fastener length
• Use the grip gauge to accurately calculate fastener length
• Identify all of the parts of a countersink gauge and how they work together to measure a product
• Accurately use the countersink gauge to measure a diameter
• Identify all of the parts of a fastener height gauge and how they work together to determine fastener height
• Use the fastener height gauge to accurately measure fastener height
• Define all of the inspection requirements for a rivet installation
• Identify and explain all of the precision instruments used to inspect rivet installations
• Identify all of the fastener gauges
• Use the pin protrusion gauge to accurately measure a fastener installation
• Identify all of the parts of a Gapman gauge and how they work together to measure a product
• Use the Gapman gauge to accurately measure a distance
