Accurate Measurement
5.3.1. Follow procedure 5.1.1 through 5.1.4.
5.3.2. The bore or gap machined finish must be clean with surface texture 3.2µm to 6.4µm or better than, for fiducial indication.
5.3.3. offer the anvil end into the component bore slightly tilted (fig.7) with the sprung loaded carriage entering just ahead of the anvil tip. rock
the dial gauge tube to the upright position (fig.8) and beyond, observing the pointer sweep. The three point location offered by the two
skids on the spring loaded carriage and the anvil tip will centralise the head.
5.3.4. rotate the bezel such that the "0" [zero] aligns with the largest sweep position of the pointer (fig.9).It is essential to observe the total
sweep of the dial pointer using the small dial. remember from the initial setting the pointer had rotated one full cycle. Mark the position
on the component of where the measurement was taken, if required.
5.3.5. With a micrometer, measure across the anvil and the nib (fig.10), rotate the barrel of the micrometer until the dial pointer aligns with the
same "0" [zero] as the measured bore. Take the reading from the micrometer and record.
5.3.6. With the bore dial gauge now set, the bore can now be measured for taper and ovality by reference back to the initial datum "0" [zero]
reading and counting the 0.01mm divisions between datum and new. note! the larger the deflection the smaller the bore.
