1、Designation: A1087/A1087M 13Standard Practice forUsing Hand Calipers to Measure the Width of Steel Sheet1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A1087/A1087M; the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of

2、last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice defines procedures for measuring thewidth of steel sheet when decimal, not fraction tolerances areindica

3、ted. The ability to accurately measure width using handcalipers is critical in determining if product meets decimalspecifications. The methods described are designed and in-tended for use in the laboratory, mill situations, and generaluse.1.2 The flat steel product shall conform to all the require-m

4、ents of the appropriate specifications as follows: Specifica-tions A917 and A924/A924M.1.3 Quantitative limits are not addressed and are establishedin the general requirements, or individual productspecifications, or both; or when applicable, as agreed tobetween supplier and user.1.4 This specificat

5、ion is applicable to orders in eitherinch-pound units or SI units. Values in inch-pound and SI unitsare not necessarily equivalent. Within the text, SI units areshown in brackets. Each system shall be used independently ofthe other.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety conce

6、rns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

8、inology3.1 Definitions:See Terminology A902 for definitions ofgeneral terminology.3.2 The definitions and procedures for measuring widthcharacteristics of steel sheet products are provided so thatpurchasers and suppliers have common definitions and mea-suring procedures for width measurements. The i

9、ntention ofthese definitions and measuring methods is not to providedimensional specifications for width characteristics, but rathercommon procedure(s) for quantifying width values. For deter-mining compliance with width specifications, references areprovided to appropriate ASTM standards.4. Apparat

10、us4.1 Calipers used for width measurement shall be con-structed with parallel blades so the sheet can be placed betweenthem for measurement. The outside blades of a caliper are usedto measure the width of steel sheet; inside blades of a caliperare used to measure internal dimensions of non-sheet pro

11、ducts.Calipers can be electrical digital, dial or analog with vernierscale, as shown in the photographs. See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.4.2 Unlock the caliper and if electrical digital, turn it on.4.3 Clean caliper blades prior to use. Place cleaningmaterial, such as clean dry paper, lint-free cloth, or fabr

12、ic (notabrasive such as sandpaper) on the outside blades and wipeclean. Repeat until the caliper is clean. Usually once or twiceis adequate.4.4 The typical method to hold or secure the caliper is tograsp the caliper, as shown in Fig. 3, with right hand and thesheet in left hand.4.5 Close the caliper

13、 by rotating the thumb wheel or slidingthe movable blade toward the fixed blade. The caliper isacceptable for use if it reads zero. If not, for electronic digitalcalipers, zero out (reset) the caliper per manufacturers instruc-tions. For dial and vernier calipers, adjust them to read zero permanufac

United States14.6 Measure the material width by holding the caliper withthe right hand and sheet with the left hand. Open the calip

17、erblades large enough so the sheet can be placed between theblades. Place the sheet fully within the outside blades and thentighten the outside blades until contact is made on the outsideedges of the sheet. For electronic digital calipers, read theviewing screen for the measurement. Follow the manuf

18、actur-ers instructions for vernier scale or dial readout calipers.4.7 Repeat the measurement at the same location. If thereading matches the original measurement value, accept thereading. If the value does not match, take an additional reading.Average the three readings to arrive at the measurement

19、value.Note that the caliper readings are subject to the accuracy of thetype of caliper used.4.8 Recording readings4.8.1 If required on the sheet sample, identify where thereading(s) was made using a circle, box, cross hairs, etc.4.8.2 In the measurement record of readings, use a traceableidentificat

Calibration Checks5.1 It is common practice to calibrate calipers to NISTtraceable standards on an annual basis.5.2 Zero out the caliper.5.3 Measure an NIST traceable standard. Use a widthstandard in increments of 6.000 in. 150 mm that is in theFIG. 1 acFIG. 2FIG. 3A1

21、087/A1087M 132width range of the sheet steel being measured. Example: tomeasure, use two standards that bracket the sample widthwithin a range of 6.000 in. 150 mm. If the caliper readings ofthe standards are satisfactory the device can be used to measuresheet steel with confidence. If the caliper re

22、adings are out bymore than 0.001 in. 0.025 mm, the device requires adjust-ment. See manufacturers instructions.6. Proper Care of the Instrument6.1 Do not disassemble a digital caliper.6.2 Store the caliper at room temperature, typically 60 to100 F 16 to 38 C.6.3 Keep the caliper clean and in a clean

23、 environment.6.4 Keep caliper away from liquids of any kind.6.5 Do not subject the caliper to sudden shocks such as fromdropping, or to excessive force during measuring.6.6 Wipe off dust, cutting chips, oil, and moisture from thecaliper after each use.6.7 When cleaning the caliper, use a soft cloth

24、using aneutral detergent. Do not use any organic solvent (thinner, etc.)as it may cause damage to the device.6.8 Do not use an electric marking pen or other such deviceon the caliper.7.
