DIGITAL ROLL GAP VERIFICATION TOOL AND RELATED CALIBRATION STAND

A gap verification tool is usable with a leveling unit where the leveling unit includes multiple offset rollers that flatten a material, such as a previously coiled steel sheet, as it passes through the leveling unit. The gap verification tool includes a sensing assembly that has blades that rotate about a pivot point of the tool. An encoder of the tool measures the rotation of the blades and determines a gap between the offset rollers. A calibration stand is also usable with the tool to calibrate the tool. The calibration stand includes offset rollers setup with a known gap.

METHOD FOR RAPIDLY MEASURING ROLLER PASS MAJOR SEMI-AXIS OF THREE-ROLLER REDUCING MILL
20230074692 · 2023-03-09 ·

A method for rapidly measuring roller pass major semi-axis of three-roller reducing mill, the method comprising the following steps: selecting a corresponding value of the average diameter of an elliptical pass, a value of a first major semi-axis and a value of a minor semi-axis from a three-roller pass data table according to a rack station number of a special numerical control lathe; calculating a value of a first line segment according to an elliptic equation, the obtained value of the first major semi-axis, and the obtained value of the minor semi-axis; calculating a value of a second major semi-axis according to the right-angle triangle theorem and the value of the first line segment; measuring a first size value by attaching three claws of a three-claw internal micrometer to three roller gaps; or attaching one end of inner calipers to any roller gap, and attaching the other end to the bottom of a roller arc opposite the roller gap to obtain a second size value. The roller pass major semi-axis of the three-roller is reducing mill is measured, and the outer diameter precision and the surface quality of a steel pipe are improved.

Caliper and accessories therefor
11624601 · 2023-04-11 ·

A tool for measurement of a body is proposed. It includes a caliper furnished with a slider, a fixed finger, a moving finger, and accessories including a first clamp mounted on the fixed finger, a first measuring standard associated with the fixed finger, a fixed leg having a first measuring face and a head securing the first measuring standard, a second clamp mounted on the moving finger, a second measuring standard associated with the moving finger, a moving leg having a second measuring face and a head securing the second measuring standard therein. The first measuring face is disposed to contact a first point of the body and, moving the slider, the second measuring face is disposed to contact a second point of the body, providing for measuring a length between the points, generally being greater than the caliper's length. The tool may additionally have intermediate measuring standards.

CONNECTION VERIFICATION TOOL
20170370691 · 2017-12-28 ·

A connection verification tool for verifying a secure connection between two fluid handling components of a fluid handling system. A connection verification tool can include a gauge portion sized sized to be placed over a first fluid handling component connected to a second fluid handling component to verify a secure connection between the two components. If the first fluid handling component is not securely connected to the second fluid handling component such that additional torque may be required to complete the connection between the two components, the gauge portion of the connection verification tool will not fit over the first component coupled to the second component.
