Most types of gaging applications come down to variations of length, usually in one of four basic themes: height, depth, thickness or diameter. Geometric gaging applications are nearly as straightforward, conceptually. Measuring qualities like roundness, straightness, squareness, taper, parallelism or distance between centers is usually a matter of measuring a few dimensional features, then doing some simple calculations.
