Procedure
The use of radius gages is a fast and easy method of checking concave or convex radii
in machining, layout, pattern making, etc. for tool and die makers, machinists, layout
men and other mechanics. Calibration is performed by comparing the radius gage to a
radius chart on an optical comparator.
Reference Material
Applicable Manufacturers Manual or Brochures.
Specifications
The specifications of the IUT are determined by the applicable manufacturer's
documentation. If the manufacturer's documentation is not available, then the
specifications identified in this procedure are used.
Dimensions of these instruments are in fractions or decimal inches or in millimeters.
This procedure will use decimal inches for all dimensional measurement but will be
applicable to all equivalent dimensions.

+/- 0.004
Equipment Required
The Standards listed below should be selected on the basis of their higher accuracy
level when compared to the IUT. Equivalent Standards must be equal to or better than
the Minimum-Use-Specification.
Minimum-Use-Specifications for Standards listed are 1/4 the accuracy required by the
IUT.
Standards Used
Minimum-Use-Specifications
Optical Comparator
W/Radius Charts
Detailed Procedure
1. Select appropriate radius chart and mount on optical comparator.
2. Mount the IUT on the worktable of comparator and align with the best-fit radius.
3. Repeat step 2 for each concave and convex radius on IUT. If IUT is one in a set
of similar instruments, each IUT must be checked.
