One of the instruments to measure ionizing radiation is a Geiger counter. As we know that this model makes use of a Geiger tube to measure the particles hitting the tube. The question is how good or how accurate it is to measure the radiation so that you can rely on it. Make sure that … Read more
Dial indicator is a precision measuring tool that has many functions. Its application is to measure tolerance, allowance (including clearance), circular runout, total runout, straightness, flatness, parallelism, perpendicularity, squareness, circularity, cylindricity, levelness, etc. Therefore, this instrument is easily found in the workshop and becomes a critical part to monitor the quality of product dimensions and any … Read more
Learning how a geiger counter works is pretty important especially when you are going to buy the best one. By studying its working process, you can realize what the body part of this measuring instrument is highly critical. Thus, when looking for the Geiger counter products on the market, you know what to read more. … Read more
A million miles of cable were stretched across the air between countries until recently. It is now, however, put underground, which is a bigger area than the old method. Because harsh weather conditions, such as pollution, severe rainfall, snow, and storms, have no effect on subsurface lines. However, when a problem occurs in a cable, … Read more
Geiger counter is quite easy to handle and only needs related technical knowledge about the type, nature, energy level of radiation, and how to safely measure the specific type of radiation coming from a radioactive source. To accurately measure radiation, you need to know how to read the Geiger counter for any radiation type. How … Read more
How to know that the dial indicator is always in proper condition? We can opt to perform a dial indicator calibration to analyze whether the dial indicator is in a good condition or not. Calibration is a process where the measured values compare the standard value and find the tolerance range. In this process, a … Read more
As we have known that the purpose of using gauge blocks is to check the accuracy of other precision instruments such as micrometers and calipers. As a result, we use them in inspection, verification, and calibration. Even, we use them in tool setups as well. But, how do we know that our gauge blocks are … Read more
Mitutoyo 293-340-30 is the best micrometers so far that we recommend. It has excellent quality both for standard use and also for professionals. In this post, we are very happy to review it directly. We’ve just bought it. We are going to uncover all about it. This post covers the content of the first time … Read more
Gauge blocks come with a purpose to serve as a reference standard for length. Hence, this is a very important part of your measurement quality. And, we use them frequently whether in lab or workshop. Dimensional measuring instruments such as micrometers (outside, inside, and depth micrometers), calipers (both the vernier, dial, and digital caliper models), … Read more
Cosine error occurs in the dial indicator when the direction of measurement of an object is at a certain angle (not as it should be) against the tip of the dial indicator. As the angle increases, the value of cosine error also increases. This error is small in value but it’s considerable when we want … Read more
