Can I use my own calipers to measure the final dimension of the TempTABs?
AThe measurement of the TempTAB is critical for repeatable accuracy. Since the measurement is tangential to the sides of the disk any slight rotation of the disk has the potential to alter the measurement. Orton recommends that the measurements not be made free-hand since it is literally impossible to measure each TempTAB exactly the same every time. Orton has designed a gauge stand that provides consistent placement of the TempTAB for measurement and has this gauge stand with a Mitutoyo digital indicator for sale or Orton will provide you the specifications to build your own gauge stand. Consistent readings to two decimal places in millimeters will provide the accuracy and sensitivity from the TempTAB to support your furnace performance tracking program.
