Angle gauge

Japanese: 角度ゲージ - かくどげーじ
Angle gauge

This is a standard gauge for measuring angles. Like a gauge block, several gauges are placed in close contact to produce the required angle. There are two types of angle gauge: Johansson type and NPL type. The Johansson type consists of 49 or 85 plate-shaped pieces (approximately 50 x 20 x 1.5 mm), and by combining two of them, angles from 10 degrees to 350 degrees can be produced in 1 to 5 second increments. This method is inconvenient because the measuring surface is small and many gauges are required. The NPL type consists of 12 to 15 wedge-shaped blocks with flat lapped ends. By appropriately combining these, any angle from 0 degrees to nearly 90 degrees can be produced in 1 or 3 second increments with an accuracy of 2 to 3 seconds. Compared to the Johansson type, the measuring surface is larger and a wide range of angles can be produced with a small number of blocks, making it widely used for measurement, inspection, setting of workpieces, etc.

角度測定のための基準となるゲージで、ブロックゲージのように、いくつかのゲージを密着させ、必要な角度をつくりだす。角度ゲージには、ヨハンソンJohansson式とNPL式がある。ヨハンソン式は、49個または85個の板状片(約50×20×1.5ミリメートル)からなり、2個の組合せで10度から350度の角度を1~5秒とびにつくることができる。この方式は、測定面が小さく、多数のゲージが必要となるので、不便である。NPL式は、端面を平坦(へいたん)にラップ加工された、12から15個のくさび状のブロックから構成されている。これらを適当に組み合わせることにより、1秒または3秒とびに0度から90度近くまでの任意の角度を2~3秒の精度でつくりだすことができる。ヨハンソン式と比較すると、測定面が大きく、少数のブロックで広範囲の角度をつくれるので、測定、検査、工作物のセッティングなどに広く使うことができる。
