Taper gauge, taper standard, taper specimen

The taper supports both male and female shapes universally. Design and manufacturing are also possible!

■Taper Gauge There are two main types of taper gauges: - Male shape (taper plug gauge) - Female shape (taper ring gauge) ■Precision Parts of the Taper Gauge When manufacturing taper gauges, the three parts that are often guaranteed for precision are: 1. Large end diameter 2. Small end diameter 3. Angle The above applies to both male and female shapes. ■Uses Other Than Measuring Size A method of inspection involves applying a thin layer of blue paste (or blue dye) to the taper section and pressing it against the object being measured to visually check how much of the paste transfers to the object. This method is used to confirm whether the taper has the correct angle surface. Even with the same angle surface, there can be subtle differences in angle at the beginning and end, or the surface itself may not be straight (not an angle plane), making this a comparative measurement method against an ideal taper gauge (often referred to as a taper standard or taper master in this case). This method tends to be widely used in the aerospace industry.
