Setting Standards
Setting standards are reference pieces used to zero or adjust a gauge before measurement. This page lists setting standards, including a lead gauge setting standard. Using a standard keeps readings consistent between shifts and between different operators in the same department.
They are used by inspectors who check threads, bores and other features with comparative gauges. Consider the size and feature the standard represents, the material, and how often it will be used for checking.
- Zeroing thread gauges before inspection
- Resetting comparative gauges during a shift
- Verifying lead gauge accuracy
