Technical characteristics

This radius gauge gives a direct, instant reading of the inside or outside radius for a wide range of curves, profiles, diameters and cylindrical objects.

  • Convenience: there is no need to cut out templates to find the radius of a curve, nor to remove the part from the machine to measure it, nor to take the part out of its installed position (buried pipes, installed tanks, rolling machines already positioned and fixed, for example)
  • Ease of use: it is easy to use and the measuring process is extremely quick. Simply place the gauge inside or outside the curve to obtain the radius of curvature, or the diameter of the object, automatically.
  • Any material: the gauge is suitable for any type of solid material such as steel, wood or plastics.
  • High accuracy: the margin of error on the radius is only 0.1 mm (measuring accuracy depends on the surface quality of the solid being measured; to obtain maximum accuracy the surface must be free of dips and of high surface roughness).
  • Field of application: this radius gauge is supplied with different measuring arches and different contact angles. Using the various arches gives a measuring range between 100 and 10000 mm.

Innovative and versatile

  • Battery-powered LCD digital display: convenient reading of the measured value, with the option of transferring it to a data acquisition system via Bluetooth interface.

  • Practical: it is small and light and can easily be used for different measurements simply by changing the measuring arch.

  • Transport: an aluminum case with internal foam padding is available to store and protect the gauge when not in use. Easy to carry and shock-resistant.

  • Two units of measurement: you can choose to measure in millimeters or inches simply by pressing the unit conversion button.

  • Ideal for large radii: the instrument can measure radii up to 10 meters with maximum accuracy.

In depth

Arch gauges are an indispensable instrument for measuring objects with curved geometry such as tubes, sheet metal, glass and profiles. Their technology makes it possible to calculate the curvature of such materials with extreme precision.

Using these instruments, professionals and enthusiasts in fields such as mechanical engineering, steelwork, joinery, glass production and furnishing elements can create objects and parts with perfectly calibrated, uniform curves, guaranteeing a high-quality end result.

Arch gauges make it possible to determine the precise curvature of every single tube or profile, avoiding problems during positioning and installation.

Sheet metal and glass also require particular curvature, especially in architecture and in the furniture industry.

Arch gauges allow curvature to be measured precisely and uniformly, avoiding the risk of chipping or breaking the material during processing and positioning.

These instruments also make it possible to calibrate the curvature of sheet metal and glass perfectly, guaranteeing an end result that is both attractive and functional.

Lastly, arch gauges are widely used in the metalworking industry for bending metal profiles. They allow the most accurate possible measurement, avoiding errors that could compromise the stability and functionality of the products made.

What is more, the measurements taken with arch gauges make it possible to guarantee uniform curvature throughout production, assuring customers of an excellent end result.

Frequently asked questions

What is the DIACHECK-CT digital radius and diameter gauge?
