Corrugator roll depth gauge: After zeroing and using appropriate gauge blocks for calibration, this instrument measures the chordal flute depth of the corrugating rolls. For example, consider a hand held micrometer that is calibrated for measuring work-pieces with flat and parallel surfaces by measuring several calibrated gauge blocks (with surfaces larger than the micrometer anvil size). Any skilled machinist who has used Johannsen gauge blocks in measuring and checking his work would not be surprised at all. |
