SPECIAL GAGE OF THE MONTH: PI GAGE
Pi-Gage for I.D. + O.D. Starrett Pi-Gages protect product quality by maintaining critical diameter tolerances of flexible parts such as plastic lids and containers, where shrinkage and temperature affect the parts during manufacturing. The diameter of these parts is vital to the sealing integrity between lids and containers. Designed to measure any flexible circular part, the Pi-Gage has been used for decades. It is the industry standard for accuracy, replacing the outdated 2, and 3-point systems.
I.D. WIRE The above is a handheld Pi-gage equipped with a wire sensor. This setup of the Pi-gage is normally used in the I.D. Configuration for gaging dimensions such as the lip seal diameter of plastic cup lids.
BENCH TOP HANDHELD The handheld Pi-gages are also offered in bench top variations. This Pi-gage is equipped with a digital indicator and a band sensor, which is normally used to measure the outer lip diameter of disposable cups.
