Gage Tolerance Micropedia

For the first time almost 20000 of the most commonly used measurement and test devices have been compiled into a quick, easy-to-use, collection we call the Gage Tolerance Micropedia (GTM). The information contained in this collection has been carefully assembled from manufacturer catalogs, technical literature, and even direct telephone contact. But the real beauty of this collection is that it is provided to you as Windows Help file! You can use with any application or alone to compare and determine gage tolerances. Simply search for the gage and it is displayed on your screen with all related gages. Additionally all of this information is also provided as a fully bookmarked, indexed Adobe Acrobat PDF file that can be viewed or printed from any browser using the Adobe Acrobat plug in. Both forms of this massive library of information are provided when you purchase GTM.

After having provided calibration and device management software along with collections of calibration methods for years, we realized that what should be one of the most simple tasks of our day was one of the most time consuming. After talking to many others in the quality and manufacturing area, we found our impressions were shared. So we began to develop an idea for a simple, fast, easy way to determine what tolerances and accuracies a gage was designed to hold without having to make endless calls to manufacturers or distributors or searching through many of the catalogs they provide. So we began gathering gage data. Over 400 different manufacturer and gage type combinations were collected. The information grew so quickly that we now have over 900 pages of printed data.

The information we collected has been expanded upon by including information from many national and international standards. If a manufacturer refers to standard, we have included the pertinent information from that standard. We did this to make it a complete reference collection. How can people use this information best? Everyone uses a Windows help file almost everyday. It is the most universally understood interface we could find so we used it. Now that our first version is completed, we are pleased with it and we think you will be too! And if you should have need, we have also made it possible for you to print the information in Gage Tolerance Micropedia topic by topic.

Standards Referenced: When a type of gage is covered by a national standard or by a convention common to all manufacturers, we include the applicable tolerances and explanations of how those tolerances are applied.

Information on each standards organization we have referenced is also included in the Gage Tolerance Micropedia.
