Liport Unveils High-Precision Imperial Ceramic Pin Gage: Redefining ±0.25μm Accuracy for Industrial Metrology
Zirconia Ceramic Delivers ±10μin Precision, 8x Wear Resistance – Search “imperial ceramic pin gage” for Details
Liport, a leading provider of industrial metrology solutions, today launched its new generation imperial ceramic pin gage, setting a global benchmark for precision in inch-based measurement systems. Engineered with ±0.25μm (±10μin) tolerance and advanced zirconia ceramic technology, these gauges meet the rigorous demands of automotive, aerospace, and semiconductor industries relying on imperial measurements.
1. Imperial Ceramic Pin Gage: Micron-Level Precision Redefined
Liport’s imperial ceramic pin gages achieve an industry-leading diameter tolerance of ±0.25μm (±10μin) and roundness error ≤0.5μm – 10x more accurate than traditional steel gauges. Covering 0.011″ to 1.000″ in 0.001″ increments with Ra≤0.015μm surface finish, they eliminate measurement errors caused by temperature fluctuations (±1℃) and mechanical wear, ideal for critical inch-based inspections.
Technical Comparison Table
| Parameter | Liport Imperial Gage | Traditional Steel Gage |
| Diameter Tolerance | ±0.25μm (±10μin) | ±2.5μm |
| Wear Resistance | 8x Longer Lifespan | – |
| Thermal Stability | Stable at -20℃~150℃ | ±5μm/10℃ Drift |
| Magnetic Compatibility | Non-Magnetic | Susceptible to Magnetism |
2. Zirconia Ceramic: The Core of Imperial Ceramic Pin Gage
Crafted from 95% pure yttria-stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) sintered at 1550℃, these gages feature 1300HV hardness (second only to diamond) and <0.1μm deformation under 50N/mm² pressure. The material’s thermal expansion (9.6×10⁻⁶/℃) matches alloy steel, ensuring stable 0.0001″ measurements in extreme environments like aircraft engines (120℃) and cryogenic lines (-10℃), making them the top choice for imperial ceramic pin gage applications.
