THE
THERMAL COEFFICIENTS OF ALL THE AEROEL LASER MICROMETERS ARE NOW SPECIFIED.
Using the
thermal coefficients specified for each gauge model, it is now possible
to evaluate the measuring error (related to 20°C) versus the ambient
temperature, the part diameter and the thermal expansion coefficient
of the part being measured.
The thermal coefficients of the Aeroel micrometers are all NEGATIVE
and close to the typical steel value: that means that when an Aeroel
laser micrometer is used to measure steel parts, you will get a minimum
difference between the measurements carried on in a Metrology Room (controlled
room temperature) and the on-line measurements, in workshops where the
ambient temperature may change by a great amount.
As far as we know, Aeroel are the first laser gauge manufacturer
that specify this performance
for all their models!!
When comparing an Aeroel gauge versus a competitive model, please check
the Competitor about this point
The new thermal coefficient values are specified in the performance
table of each gauge model.
