What is a radiometer used for?
| Radius gauges are primarily engineering tools used "in process" and for "final control" when working with materials such as wood, plastic and metal. However, this can be extended to anyone who needs to know the exact radii. Hobbyists and manufacturers often use radius gauges to fit parts. | |
Using the Radiometer “In Progress” | |
| "In progress" refers to the use of the scale during the creative process. This includes marking the radii on workpieces as a pattern or as a cutting guide. This may also apply when the gauge is used as a reference for planing or machining molds (dies) to a desired radius. |
Using the Final Check Radiometer | |
 | The final check refers to the use of a gauge to check that the finished radius matches the required dimensions. Designs are often ground or polished to meet the required specifications, which is determined by how well the sensor adheres to the object with no visible gap between the two surfaces. |
