3.2.1 External Pits

To measure external pits:

1. Place the external probe gauge wire on a good surface next to the pit and press on the

probe so that both reference prongs are touching the surface of the cylinder. The probe

should be perpendicular to the cylinder surface. Press the left foot switch or F4 to set

zero while holding the probe in this position. The Depth value should change to 0.000in.

2. Type in the location of a pit being measured into the Recorded Measurements box. Place

the external probe gauge wire into the pit and press on the probe so that both reference

prongs are touching the surface of the cylinder. The probe should be perpendicular to the

cylinder surface. Press the right foot switch or F6 to record measurement while holding

the probe in this position.

3. You may continue measuring other pits by repeating step 2 as long as the cylinder

curvature is the same. If location is different from previous pits you can enter the new

location into the Recorded Measurements box. New measurements are always added to

the end of the text. If the curvature of the cylinder is different at the new location then

repeat from step 1. An easy way to check if the curvature is the same is to press the

probe against the good cylinder surface as in step 1 and check that the depth is reading

as 0.000in.
