There are many options to choose from when deciding on a dimensional measurement tool. Consider these application-based factors when selecting a measurement solution.
When determining the dimensional length of a part, there are probably hundreds of tools available, starting with a simple vernier caliper up to a high-end coordinate measuring machine (CMM). These tools — and everything in between — can produce a result but it may not be the best result in terms of ease of use, cost and practicality for the dimension being checked.
