Ask the Metrology Guy:
How do today's hand-held gages " address" thermal concerns?

Thermal issues should always be evaluated with gaging.  Typically with hand-held gages, an operator would have to be aware of the part temperature and how the part will move as it normalizes.

If a software system is integrated with the hand tools, the software most likely can perform the thermal compensation calculations.

Have a gaging problem or a question that you'd like addressed?  Ask the Metrology Guy or send your inquiry to engineeredsystems@kurt.com
