Wringing of slip gauges

When one slip gauge is placed over another, some air gap is present in between them.  This air gap will affect the accuracy of the measurement.  So we need to avoid this air gap.  The process of removal of air is called  wringing.


Procedure for wringing



i)                    Clean the slip gauge with lint free cloth or cleansing tissue.
ii)                  Move one slip slightly over the other with light pressure.
iii)                One gauge is place over the other 90o and then it is turned until the gauges align in one line.

The gauges are adhere together.  Adhesion is due to molecular attraction and atmospheric pressure.
