      <description>Western Instruments N88-11 Jr. Bridging Pit Depth Gauge, Measures Corrosion and Material LossMeasuring Range: 0.0-0.5&quot; (0.0 - 12.7 mm)Resolution: 0.001&quot; (0.01 mm)Dial Diameter: 1.4&quot; (35.5 mm)The Bridging Pit Gauge® can be assemble up to a length of 28.5&quot; (724 mm) long; can be extended if necessaryAvailable with dial or digital indicatorsThe Jr. Bridging Pit Gauge® Group provides Inspectors with an Economical Alternative to the Bridging Pit Gauge System®. The new Jr. Bridging Pit Gauge® is available as 3 models; the standard Jr. Bridging Pit Gauge®, the Plus, and the Super. The standard Jr. Bridging Pit Gauge® assembles to an overall length of 13½” (340mm). The Jr. Bridging Pit Gauge Plus® can be assembled in either Spanning or Cantilevering Configurations up to 15 ½” (394mm) long. While the Jr. Bridging Pit Gauge Super® can also be assembled in both Spanning or Cantilevering Configurations, up to 27” (685mm) long. The Junior’s Main Blade, and the optional Extender Blades are fitted with strong magnets that secure any of the Jr. Bridging Pit Gauges® to the surface of the workpiece. These Magnetic Hold Downs have several benefits, such as; Aligning the unit to Concave or Convex surfaces, keeping the operator free to record readings or manipulate the assembly when Scanning through Pits and Weight loss Corrosion. These features position the Plus, and the Super far ahead of any competitive units.

Features
Zeroing Dial IndicatorTo quickly check the Zero Point of the Dial indicator, place the Blade on a representative smooth surface.Gently press the Plunger, until the contact point touches the surface.While the contact point is on the surface, loosen the Bezel Lock, and rotate the Bezel Scale until it reads &#039;0&#039; with respect to the pointer.Click image to enlargeHeight ZeroingLoosen the Fastener(s) holding the Dial Indicator in place.Hold the Blade firmly on a Flat Surface, and gently press the body of the Dial Indicator down until the contact point touches the flat surface.Carefully re-tighten the Clamp Fastener(s) or the Set Screw.Any fine zeroing can be done by rotating Bezel Scale on the Indicator.Height Zeroing should be done, whenever the unit is put into to use.Click image to enlargeZeroing a Digital IndicatorDigital Indicators can be Height Zeroed or Positioned in the same way as a Mechanical Dial Indicator.To Zero the Digital Indicator simply press the Zero Button when the Contact Point is on a reference point. If the Digital Indicator is Height Zeroed, press Zero when the Plunger is fully retracted.To select Metric or Imperial Measurement, simply press the mm/in Button.Whennot in use, press the On/Off Button to turn the Indicator off.Click image to enlargeIndicator PositioningThe position (or rotation) of the Dial indicator can be changed by simply loosening the Clamp Fasteners or Set Screw, and rotate the Dial Indicator about the Blade.After the Dial Indicator is rotated, the unit should be Dial Zeroed.Click image to enlarge

Western's advanced Bridging Pit Gauge System and our new Jr. Bridging Pit Gauge take over, where the capabilities of our standard Pit Gauges fall short, for evaluating large areas of Weight loss Corrosion. There are several important features to a Segmented Bridge, where various elements (Blades and Tees) are assembled to form a Bridging Bar. Firstly, they can be assembled to follow the contour of a slightly irregular surface. This contouring feature is important for Pipeline, Storage Tank, and Pressure Vessel inspections, where 'hills and valleys' always exist. Secondly, the models listed below are of a given length, however extra elements can be added to increase their over all length. As illustrated, these units can be assembled in Spanning or Cantilevering configurations, and finally, the Main Blade can be used individually for isolated or cone type Pitting.]]></abq:meta>
