Why do I need a digital height gauge?


A typical manual height gauge is accurate to a thousandth (0.001″); pretty good, but when you want truly precise measurements, it could be better. A manual digital height gauge is accurate to a tenth (0.0001″) or sometimes even better. Now we’re talking ultra-precise and incredibly accurate measuring for the best possible results.

So, why are digital gauges so much better? Well, the primary weakness of the average height gauge is how square it is to the reference plane being measured.  If the surface plate is not truly flat or if the height gauge’s arm is not square to the base, then the height gauge will be less accurate.

Digitising a height gauge achieves greater consistency and accuracy of measurement. And computerisation lets the machine do the maths.

At metrologyandcalibration Ltd we stock all sizes of digital height gauge, from the Tesa Micro Hite 900 to its smaller cousin the Tesa Micro Hite 350 so whatever your measuring requirements, we’ve got something to make your life easier and your measurements more accurate.
