Home Bulk Weighing Defined Bulk weighing refers to the process of weighing bulk material as it flows from one vessel to another. Bulk weighing systems are used to facilitate this process. These systems can be customized as needed depending on the type of material being weighed, the environment in which the weighing occurs, and even the rate of flow of the bulk material.   Where are Bulk Weighing Systems Utilized? Bulk weighing systems are used in a wide variety of applications, throughout many different industries. Any operation that is repeatedly filling a vessel can utilize a b ..read more

Home The Gage Block Gage blocks are length standards utilized in dimensional measurement. NIST defines the gage block as “a length standard having flat and parallel opposing surfaces”. They are used to produce precise lengths for calibration, or for checking the accuracy of gages, and can be combined by wringing blocks together. Gage blocks provide flat, parallel surfaces with accuracy of few millionths of an inch. They provide lengths in either millimeters (Metric system) or inches (Imperial system). Gage blocks are available in sets to allow users to build any length they would like. The G ..read more

Home Caliper Basics: What is a Caliper? Caliper basics begin with explaining what a caliper is and how it differs from other types of precision measurement instruments. The caliper is one of the most versatile types of precision measurement equipment. It may even be considered the Swiss-army knife of precision measurement devices. While most other precision instruments are highly specialized and designed to provide one specific type of measurement reading, the caliper can provide measurements of multiple physical dimensions, including inside dimensions, outside dimensions, and even depth rea ..read more
