Measurement Tools

Digital indicators are precision instruments that can measure small distances between two surfaces with extreme accuracy. Measurements are shown on an LCD display. Features include absolute encoder, preset, zero-set, inch/metric conversions, reverse reading, SPC output, and GO/NOGO functions. Also known as test indicators, digital indicators are frequently used to measure machinery calibrations and equipment tolerances.

Dial indicators are capable of measuring small distances between two surfaces that a standard gauge cannot reach. These precision instruments translate the small linear distance into rotational movement and display the measurement on a continuous dial numbered clockwise around the face. Also known as test indicators, dial indicators are frequently used to measure machinery calibrations and equipment tolerances.

We offer a selection of accessories for use with our line of dial and digital indicators. Products include contact points, connecting cable, magnetic stands, and swivel joints.

Digital calipers are precision measuring devices used to measure linear dimensions, thickness, and diameter. These devices have upper and lower parallel jaws that perform measurement with extreme accuracy and the output appears on an electronic LCD display.

Dial calipers are precision measuring devices used to measure linear dimensions, thickness, and diameter. These devices have upper and lower parallel jaws that perform measurement with extreme accuracy and the output appears on a dial display.

Vernier calipers are unique in that they feature a main scale on the beam and a sliding vernier scale on the movable jaw to deliver precise measurements of outside dimensions, inside dimensions, and depths.

Slide ruler calipers take precise inside and outside measurements with a moveable jaw that travels along the ruler.

We stock electronic cables and replacement batteries for use with our line of digital calipers.

Outside micrometers are used for measuring the thickness or outside diameter of small parts or fittings with high accuracy. Similar in appearance to a C-clamp, the object to be measured is clamped between the anvil (the stationary end of the clamp) and the spindle (the moving part of the clamp). The clamp opens and closes by turning an internal screw. On digital micrometers, measurement is shown on a LCD display.

Outside micrometers are used for measuring the thickness or outside diameter of small parts or fittings with high accuracy. Similar in appearance to a C-clamp, the object to be measured is clamped between the anvil (the stationary end of the clamp) and the spindle (the moving part of the clamp). The clamp opens and closes by turning an internal screw. On analog micrometers, measurement is calculated by reading the lines and numbering system that appears on the thimble and sleeve.

Digital scale units can be installed on machines to measure axial movement. These scales feature a removeable frame body for easy measuring and two mounting brackets at each end of the scale. Measurements are shown on a large LCD display.

Blade rulers provide accurate measurements and can function as a useful straight edge for many applications. Available in steel and stainless steel, inch and metric, horizontal and vertical. Some types feature a permanent self-adhesive strip.

Tape rulers, commonly known as measuring tapes, are flexible rules used to measure size or distance. We offer an assortment of tape rules in lengths from 12 feet to 33 feet.

Measuring squares consist of two straight edges set at a 90-degree angle to each other. The primary purpose of these measuring tools is to check the accuracy of right angles to ensure that components remain perpendicular. Similarly, protractors are a measurement device used to measure angles.

Fluid level indicators provide a visual guide to monitor the level of fluids on tanks or hydraulic systems.

We stock a selection of accessories for our line of fluid level indicators. Parts include breather caps, plugs, viewports, and oil level indicators.
