Gauging Quality, Episode 1 - Surface Plates

Live broadcast from January 31st, 2013.

There are right ways and wrong ways to measure. Gauging Quality is a free LIVE video webcast from Quality Digest that shows you how to measure the right way.

Join us on the last Thursday of every month, at 11 a.m. Pacific / 2 p.m. Eastern as Gauging Quality looks at the use, calibration, care, and feeding of your gauges.

Almost every manufacturing-based industry uses gauges: dimensional, temperature, humidity, force, electrical characteristics, and so forth. But using a gauge often isn't as simple as it seems. How to properly set up and take measurents is critical to the job. So if you are new to measurement, or just need an entertaining refresher, this show is for you.

About this month's episode;
Precision dimensional gauging commonly uses a granite surface plate. More than just a big flat rock, the granite slab is a precision tool in itself, and, just like a gauge, it also needs to be calibrated—or at least characterized. In this episode of Gauging Quality, Craig Howell shows us how a surface plate is calibrated using a Mahr Federal Leveling System and a RAHN Repeat-O-Meter. Everything you want to know about big flat granite, LIVE, on Gauging Quality.
