Abstract
The velocity type water column air gage is quite different from
conventional pressure type and flow type air gage. The key part of
the new air gage, being neither a Laval nor a Venturi tube, is a
unique small cylindrical nozzle. This nozzle is capable of
combining the performances of big volume flow and low pressure
indication. Therefore the air flow can clean the surface to be
measured, and the water column gage gives highly sensitive
readings.
The paper describes briefly the working principle and features
of the new gage and presents examples of application of the new
gage in auto works production, including contact type elastic pivot
snap gage, ball type plug gage, locating gage, and thickness gage
of bearing bushing.
