Measuring bore diameters by comparison
Operating principle of a two-point instrument
Dial bore gauge 10–18 mm is a two-point instrument for measuring internal diameters with a reading resolution of 0.01 mm. The dial indicator shows the result as a deviation from the dimension set using a reference standard. The set of interchangeable anvils covers the entire 10–18 mm range.
Measurement is comparative: first set the instrument to the nominal dimension in a setting ring or an outside micrometer and zero the indicator dial. Inside the bore, the moving contact retracts or extends, and the indicator shows the difference from the setting. Rock the instrument in the axial plane to position the contacts across the diameter rather than a chord of the bore.
The extension stem allows measurement of deep bores: pin and dowel holes, plain bushings, and seats in valve bodies. Repeating the measurement in two perpendicular planes and at several depths also checks bore ovality and taper, which are typical signs of wear.
How to measure with a dial bore gauge – step by step
Four steps: from setting the dimension to the result
1 Set the dimension and zero the gauge
Install an interchangeable anvil selected for the bore. Set the instrument to the nominal dimension in a setting ring or micrometer and rotate the dial to zero.
2 Insert the head into the bore
Insert the head at a slight angle and straighten it inside the bore until the contacts align through the bore axis, across the full diameter.
3 Rock in the axial plane
Tilt the instrument slightly along the bore axis and watch the pointer. At the true diameter, the pointer reverses direction — this is the reversal point, or minimum reading.
4 Read and calculate the result
Note the reading at the reversal point, including its sign. The bore diameter is the setting dimension plus the indicator reading.
Reading the result on the indicator dial
Reversal point and deviation sign
The dial indicator with 0.01 mm graduations shows only the deviation from the setting. A reading on the "+" side indicates a bore larger than the setting dimension, while a reading on the "−" side indicates a smaller bore.
How to read the result
- Rock the bore gauge and observe the pointer reversal point.
- Count the divisions from zero – each division represents 0.01 mm.
- Include the sign: "+" means the bore is larger, "−" means it is smaller than the setting.
Bore diameter = setting dimension + reading at the reversal point (including sign)
Example: setting 14.00 mm, reading +0.02 mm → 14.00 + 0.02 = 14.02 mm
Reading on the "+" side → bore larger than the setting.
D = 14.00 + 0.08 = 14.08 mm
Reading on the "−" side → bore smaller than the setting.
D = 14.00 − 0.12 = 13.88 mm
Measurement tips and limitations
Good bore measurement practice
Accuracy depends on the reference standard
A bore gauge measures by comparison, so it will not give the correct result unless it is set correctly. Zeroing with an outside micrometer combines the errors of both instruments — for accurate measurements, set the dimension using a setting ring. Also allow the instrument and workpiece to reach the same temperature before measuring.
- ✓Measure in two perpendicular planes and at 2–3 depths to detect bore ovality and taper.
- ✓Repeat the rocking motion 2–3 times; the reading at the reversal point should repeat within one division.
- ✓Hold the instrument by its insulated handle, not the stem — heat from your hand affects the result at an accuracy of 0.01 mm.
- ✓After a series of measurements, check zero against the reference standard to detect any accidental change in the setting.
- ▲Clean the bore and measuring contacts before measuring — a chip or oil film will distort the reading.
Dial bore gauge 10–18 mm with a set of interchangeable anvils in a carrying case is useful in toolrooms, inspection departments, and machine shops for measuring holes for dowels, pins, and bushings.
Frequently asked questions – dial bore gauge 10–18 mm
Set the instrument to the nominal dimension in a setting ring or outside micrometer and zero the dial. Insert the head into the bore at a slight angle, straighten it, and rock it in the axial plane while watching the pointer. Take the reading at the reversal point, which is the minimum reading; the bore diameter is the setting plus the signed reading, e.g., 14.00 + 0.02 = 14.02 mm.
No, it is a comparative instrument: the indicator shows only the deviation from the dimension set using a reference standard, with 0.01 mm graduations. You need a setting ring or an outside micrometer to set it; a ring gives a more accurate result because it does not combine the errors of two instruments.
A three-point bore micrometer displays the dimension directly and centers itself in the bore, but each instrument covers a narrow range and costs more. A two-point dial bore gauge covers the entire 10–18 mm range with one set of anvils and detects bore ovality because rotating the head gives different readings along the major and minor axes.
Pin and dowel holes, plain bushings, and seats in valve bodies with diameters of 10–18 mm. Select interchangeable anvils to match the nominal diameter and read the result with 0.01 mm graduations to detect clearance on the order of hundredths of a millimeter.
Measure the bore in two perpendicular planes at the same depth: the difference between readings is the ovality. Repeat the measurement at 2–3 depths, e.g., near the edge and near the bottom: the difference between them is the taper. With 0.01 mm graduations, you can detect wear on the order of hundredths of a millimeter without removing the part.
