Description
Product Overview
The HHIP 4901-0102 radius gauge is a precision measuring instrument designed for both concave and convex radius verification. Constructed from hardened steel, each of the 32 blades—16 concave and 16 convex—offers a reliable, repeatable edge for measuring radii as small as 17/64‑1/2″ and as large as 1/32″. The gauge measures 3 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 6 inches tall, weighing only 4 ounces, making it easy to handle in tight workspaces. Its ergonomic design includes a smooth, knurled handle that provides a secure grip even when wearing gloves. The tool is calibrated to meet ANSI standards, ensuring that every reading is accurate within ±0.001″. This gauge is part of ABS Import Tools’ commitment to delivering high‑quality industrial measurement solutions.
Usage
Designed for metalworking, machining, and quality‑control environments, the HHIP radius gauge excels in a variety of applications. Whether you are inspecting the curvature of a forged component, checking the radius of a machined part, or verifying the bend of a sheet metal piece, this gauge provides quick, reliable results. Its compact size allows it to be used on‑site in production lines, in maintenance workshops, or in field service scenarios where portability is essential. The gauge is also suitable for educational settings, helping students understand the principles of radius measurement. Because the blades are interchangeable, users can quickly select the appropriate concave or convex blade for the specific radius they need to measure, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.

FAQ
What materials are the blades made from?
The blades are forged from hardened carbon steel and heat‑treated to achieve a Rockwell hardness of 60‑62, providing durability and resistance to wear.
Can the gauge be used for both metric and imperial measurements?
While the gauge is calibrated in imperial units, the radius values can be easily converted to metric using standard conversion charts, and the blades can be used to verify metric radii with the same accuracy.
How do I replace a damaged blade?
Each blade is mounted in a spring‑loaded holder. To replace a blade, simply depress the holder, remove the worn blade, and insert a new one, ensuring it seats securely before releasing the holder.
Is calibration required after prolonged use?
For most shop‑floor applications, the gauge remains accurate for years. However, if you work in a high‑temperature environment or notice inconsistent readings, a professional recalibration is recommended.
What is the best way to store the gauge?
Store the gauge in its protective case, keeping the blades separated from each other to avoid contact. Avoid exposure to moisture or corrosive chemicals to maintain blade integrity.
Overall, the HHIP 4901‑0102 radius gauge combines precision engineering, robust construction, and user‑friendly features to meet the demanding needs of modern manufacturing and inspection professionals. Its extensive blade set, compact form factor, and reliable performance make it an indispensable tool for anyone who must verify concave or convex radii with confidence.
