Adjustments in dial indicator readings should be made to compensate for Indicator sag
A. Indicator sag
Adjustments in dial indicator readings should be made to compensate for indicator sag. Indicator sag refers to the slight bending or sagging of the indicator's arm due to its own weight.
This can occur when the indicator is extended over a considerable distance. To ensure accurate measurements, especially in precision measurements or in situations where small tolerances matter, compensating for indicator sag is important.
Adjustments can be made to counteract the effects of indicator sag and obtain more accurate readings.
