SIGHT-PIPE - Porosity Gages for Inspection and Measurement
The SIGHT-PIPE Porosity Gages are designed for efficient inspection and measurement of porosity in machined bores. Leveraging the advanced optical properties of the 360 View™ Series, these gages provide a comprehensive 360-degree view of bore sidewalls at right angles to the axis. The device facilitates easy detection and inspection of porosity in various industrial applications. Users can assess the size and distribution of porous characteristics using custom reticle marks. Optional features include adjustable fiber optic illumination and additional circular reticle patterns for detailed assessment within predefined tolerance limits. This innovative solution allows for accurate porosity measurement, ensuring that parts meet specified quality standards. Custom-built gages can be designed to cater to unique inspection requirements, providing a robust tool for quality assurance in manufacturing processes.SIGHT-PIPE® Porosity Check provide ways to visually locate, inspect and gage porosity in machined bores. The optical properties of the 360 View™ Series SIGHT-PIPE® provides a complete 360 degree view of the bore at right angles to the axis of the bore.
With one pass of the 360 degree SIGHT-PIPE®, the complete sidewall can be inspected. Custom Reticle marks (Gage Dots)are added to the SIGHT-PIPE® so a comparison of defect size can be made. Other options include adjustable fiber optic illumination and a second “circular” reticle pattern to further inspect for porosity “groupings” or the number of porous characteristics within a predefined tolerance limit. These concepts are used to design and manufacture Porosity Check gages to measure specific tolerances of porosity in a wide range of applications.
Locate Porosity of the interior side wall by sliding the SIGHT-PIPE into piece part and viewing image through the top of the SIGHT-PIPE.
Once the Porosity is located, rotate the SIGHT-PIPE left or right to position the gage dot (also know as a recital) so that it is superimposed over the porosity to be inspected.
If the gage dot covers the porous spot, the porosity is within the acceptable limits, if the porous area is larger than the one of the gage dots, it si out of the acceptable limits.
