Product FAQ's
1. What are Slip Gauges used for in precision measurement?
Slip Gauges are precision length standards used to calibrate measuring instruments such as micrometers, dial indicators, comparators, and gauges. They ensure dimensional accuracy, repeatability, and traceability in quality control and inspection environments.
2. What materials are Slip Gauges made from?
Slip Gauges are manufactured from Hardened Tool Steel / Carbide / Ceramic. Each material offers different benefits such as wear resistance, corrosion protection, and thermal stability for specific inspection and calibration applications.
3. What accuracy grades are available in Slip Gauges?
Slip Gauges are available in Grade 0, Grade 1, and Grade 2. These grades define permissible length deviation, flatness, and parallelism, allowing selection based on calibration labs, inspection rooms, or workshop usage.
4. What standards do Slip Gauges comply with?
Slip Gauges are manufactured in accordance with international standards such as ISO, DIN, and IS ensuring global acceptance and compatibility with quality management and calibration systems.
5. How often should Slip Gauges be calibrated?
Slip Gauges should typically be calibrated every 6 to 12 months, depending on frequency of use, handling conditions, and environmental exposure. Regular calibration ensures continued dimensional accuracy and compliance with quality audits.
6. What is the difference between steel, carbide, and ceramic Slip Gauges?
Steel Slip Gauges are economical and widely used, carbide Slip Gauges offer superior wear resistance, and ceramic Slip Gauges provide corrosion resistance and thermal stability, making each suitable for different industrial environments.
7. What length ranges are available in Slip Gauge sets?
Slip Gauge sets typically include sizes ranging from 0.5 mm up to 100 mm in metric and 0.01 inch to 4 inch in inch series, allowing users to build a wide range of precise reference dimensions.
