Caliper Gauges & Snap Gauges
Caliper gauges and snap gauges compare a part against a set size. The range includes internal and external caliper gauges, dial snap gauges, indicating snap gauges, and firm-joint calipers. Selection ranges from simple fixed jaw types to dial indicating styles.
They are used on production lines and in inspection stations to check repeat parts quickly. Consider the size range, whether you need a dial indication, the anvil or jaw type, and how the gauge is set to the required dimension.
