A height gauge is a measuring device used either for determining the height of something, or for repetitious marking of items to be worked on. The former type of height gauge is often used in doctor's surgeries to find the height of people.

These measuring tools are used in metalworking or metrology to either set or measure vertical distances; the pointer is sharpened to allow it to act as a scriber and assist in marking out work pieces.

They may also be used to measure the height of an object by using the underside of the scriber as the datum. The datum may be permanently fixed or the height gauge may have provision to adjust the scale, this is done by sliding the scale vertically along the body of the height gauge by turning a fine feed screw at the top of the gauge; then with the scriber set to the same level as the base, the scale can be matched to it. This adjustment allows different scribers or probes to be used, as well as adjusting for any errors in a damaged or resharpened probe.

Types

There are two types of height gauges: Vernier height gauges and electronic height gauges. The vernier height gauge has the additional refinement of a vernier scale for greater accuracy in reading or setting the tool. The electronic height gauge has a digital readout that gives the height.

CD Case Digital Scale $24.99 The DJ's scale is designed for optimum performance from turntables (for DJ's and record enthusiasts). One of the basic procedures for set-up is calibration of vertical tracking force (VTF). A seemingly simple practice, most listeners mistakenly assume that a quick adjustment using graduations on the arm or a cheap balance beam scale is adequate. While those methods may be appropriate for entry-level systems, they have no place in a set-up regime for a high-end turntable. Use of the Compact Disc Scale Digital Stylus Force Gauge as part of set-up ensures a precisely calibrated VTF. It's even designed to look like part of a DJ's equipment to blend with the customer's lifestyle. Ships in assorted CD covers & Scale Styles. Key Benefits The JS-150V Are: 100g x 0.01g or 600g x 0.1g capacity scales 100g reads in g, ct, oz, and gn 600g reads in g, oz, dwt, and ozt Full Tare feature & Zero tracking Equipped with Dual Weightmeter Parts counting feature Digital auto calibration (weight not included) Slim CD case design Powered by 2 AAA batteries 20 year parts / 20 year labor warranty
