• How do I calibrate a Bowers Group thickness gauge?

  Follow the calibration procedure outlined in your specific gauge's user manual. Keep the sound velocity and zero point correctly configured, normally by using the setting ring gauge or a known standard test block supplied with the tool.

• Where can I get replacement parts or support for my Bowers bore gauge?

  You can reach out to the Bowers Group service center via email at service@bowersgroup.co.uk or call their service line at +44 1444 235 621.

• How do I read an analogue Bowers micrometer?

  For metric micrometers, read the size on the sleeve to obtain the nearest half millimeter, then read the thimble number lining up with the datum line for hundredths and microns. Micro micrometers include an additional vernier scale to accurately read micron measurements.

• What should I do if my Bowers gauge starts to lose accuracy?

  If the gauge loses accuracy due to mechanical wear, you can usually perform a resetting procedure. You can insert the gauge into the setting ring, adjust the spindle lock, and use the provided key to make small compensation adjustments to the micrometer nut.
