Air gaging gets better with age: around for more than 50 years, air gaging still offers measurement solutions.(QUALITY MEASUREMENT)(Cover story)
Quality ; [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Air gaging was the breakthrough measuring technology of the 1940s and 1950s. Introduced decades before electronic gaging was widely accepted, it provided the first high performance--50 microinch or better--gaging on the shop floor. Today, air gaging is just as important and
Air gage does double duty: air gage offers adjustable magnification with single- or dual-master capability.(QUALITY INNOVATIONS)
Quality ; Air gages have been around for a long time and 90% of what they do is measure holes, but they still play an important role in metrology. Based on the precision of its standard Dimensionair, Mahr Federal Inc.'s (Providence, RI) Universal Dimensionair is part of a new series of adjustable
