Long Length Inspection
Long Length Inspection
(OP)
We are looking for a method to inspect exterior length features of a steel part on the order of around 13-ft, straight line of sight. We need an accuracy of +/- .020 inches. The primary datum is a flat surface perpendicular to the desired length measurements. Other than CMM, does anyone have any practical suggetions? Field portable use would be a plus. Thanks.

You don't even have to look at it; just feel the relation of the part feature to the two faces of the bar; part surface between the two gage surfaces = good part.
See "flush pin gage".
