The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies offers bore gage calibration services that confirm the accuracy of bore gages.
What is a Bore Gage, and What’re They Used For?
The term bore gage is an umbrella term used to refer to a collection of tools used to measure diameters of holes, or bores. Bore gages are invaluable inspection and maintenance tools that are often used in construction and manufacturing applications. Common types of bore gages, include:
- Dial Bore Gage
- Small-Hole Gage
- Telescopic Bore Gage
Bore gages are highly versatile instruments, making them ideal when measuring holes of various shapes and sizes. Like other measuring tools, bore gages require occasional calibrations to ensure their measurements remain accurate after repeated use and continuous exposure to harsh environmental conditions.
Our Bore Gage Calibration Services
Our knowledgeable and passionate calibration personnel work with our clients to ensure their bore gages yield consistently accurate and reliable results. Prior to inspection, we clean the instrument with a cleaning solution to remove any dirt or debris. Our technicians then set the gage to a predetermined range before applying a master ring, establishing a known value. We can verify the bore gage‘s calibration if the value is equal to the master ring’s known diameter.
The Importance of Calibrations
Industry professionals highly recommend that bore gages receive regular calibrations. Bore gages consist of multiple mechanisms and moving parts, so it’s important to inspect these parts to ensure they aren’t damaged. Failure to regularly calibrate bore gages may result in the following:
- Inaccurate measurements
- Unnecessary expenses
- Failure to comply with industry standards and regulations
- Poor quality control
