INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Calibrated Scale

A calibrated scale is a precision measurement component used in depth adjustment gauges for accurate dimensional verification in industrial applications.

Component Specifications

Definition
A calibrated scale is a graduated measurement component integrated into depth adjustment gauges, featuring precisely marked increments (typically in millimeters or inches) that have been verified against traceable standards. It provides a visual reference for setting and verifying depth measurements in machining, assembly, and quality control processes, ensuring dimensional accuracy and repeatability.
Working Principle
The calibrated scale operates on the principle of linear measurement through visual alignment. Graduated markings on the scale correspond to specific distance units, allowing operators to set or verify depth by aligning a reference point (such as a pointer or indicator) with the appropriate marking. Calibration ensures that each marking accurately represents its designated measurement, compensating for manufacturing tolerances and environmental factors.
Materials
Stainless steel (AISI 304 or 316 for corrosion resistance), hardened tool steel, or anodized aluminum with laser-etched or engraved markings. Surface may include wear-resistant coatings like titanium nitride.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a calibrated scale be recalibrated?

Recalibration intervals depend on usage frequency and environmental conditions, typically ranging from 6 to 12 months for industrial applications, following ISO 17025 guidelines.

Can calibrated scales be used in harsh environments?

Yes, scales made from stainless steel with protective coatings can withstand moderate industrial environments, but should be protected from extreme temperatures, chemicals, and abrasive contaminants.
