Documenting the Measuring Process

Statistical quality control (SQC) has been in use since the 1930s, when it was performed with paper, pencil, and maybe a slide rule. Statistical quality control (SQC) has been in use since the 1930s, when it was performed with paper, pencil, and maybe a slide rule.  As such, it was originally somewhat time consuming, and…

API Gaging Practice

The American Petroleum Institute (API), headquartered in Washington, DC, USA is a world leader in the development of standards for all aspects of the oil and natural gas industry. When using API sanctioned gages for the inspection of products or calibration of other gages, it is critical that the user have a high quality gage,…

Calibrating Gages: Your Place or Mine?

All gaging equipment must be calibrated periodically to ensure that it’s capable of performing the job for which it’s intended: i.e., measuring parts accurately. This has always been necessary for the purpose of maintaining quality, but there are now additional, external reasons to establish and maintain a regular program of gage calibration: customers’ requirements. More…

Measuring Small Bores

Over the years we have looked at using air gaging and back pressure to measure small bores, generally under 1 mm/0.040”. Air gaging can be an acceptable way of doing this, but it does not provide any form information; it only provides the flow area as related to the diameter. However, because these holes are…

Application of Ultraband®NM with Innovative CMT Welding Procedure

Postle Industries developed Ultraband®NM (U.S. Pat. No. US 9,724,786 B2) to protect non-magnetic drill collars and related components. Ultraband is a hard 40 Rc (which will work harden in service to 50 Rc), wear resistant, 100% crack free hardbanding alloy. Ultraband also meets magnetic resistance compared to permeability specifications and offers substantially improved wear resistance…
