Long Reaching Bore Gauging System from Bowers

Bowers Metrology has further improved its long-reach Bore Gauging system with the introduction of a choice of new Sylvac readout systems. Boasting the unique ability to accurately measure bores from 50 – 310 mm diameter, up to 15m deep, the pneumatically  activated Deep-Hole System provides an accurate and repeatable solution to what was previously a near impossible measuring task.

Designed to deliver precision within harsh environments, the robust, easy-to-use system is ideal for use in many situations including Oil and Gas industry applications.
 
Bowers’ innovative modular equipment consists of gauging heads with retractable spherical anvils that are manufactured from tungsten carbide and a range of 1m extensions that can be screwed together to achieve the required depth. The use of spherical anvils and guide-sleeves ensures accurate gauge alignment down the bore, whilst protecting the measuring heads and the bore to be measured from potential damage.

The system’s measuring heads are remotely operated via a pneumatic activator powered by a 90 PSI compressed air supply. Measurements are taken by pressing a footswitch that is connected to the airline, ; precise diameter results are then sent automatically to a high visibility digital readout in view of the operator.

All available readouts feature RS232 outputs enabling data-transmission to PCs, printers, data-loggers, etc.
