Air Gages
Air Gaging for Itty-Bitty Holes
Conventional air gaging for measuring inside diameters is typically limited to a minimum size of about 0.060"/1.52mm: below that, it becomes difficult to machine air passages in the plug tooling,...

The 3 D's of Straightness Plugs
We have touched on different applications of air gaging: size, match gaging and form applications such as taper. In this column, we'll discuss air straightness plugs. The typical out-of-straightness condition...

Checking for Centralization and Balance Errors
Air gaging is often referred to as a non-contact form of measurement. This is accurate, to the extent that there's no metal-to-metal contact between a sensitive gage component and the...

Air Gaging vs. Contact Gaging
Contact gaging measures the dimension from surface roughness peaks of the part being measured (i.e. at plane A - A). Open nozzle air gaging measures the mean surface of the...
