Master setting discs set air rings, snap gages and ring gages. They are lapped and polished, in steel or chrome, from .150″ to 14.510″ (3.81 to 368.55 mm).

Two styles

Code ANSI B47.1 style Use
SDL Style 1, full length Longer disc, for gages set in a fixture or by hand
SDS Style 3, short Shorter disc, and usually the lowest cost

Disc length grows with size, from 7/8″ (SDL) or 7/16″ (SDS) on the smallest discs to 2″ and 1″ above 2.010″.

How to order

SDL or SDS – class – material – size. Class XX or X, material S (steel) or C (chrome). Add -MM for metric sizes. Example: SDS-XX-C-.7500.

Certification

Every master ships with a long-form certificate of calibration showing the actual measured size, traceable to NIST. Calibration is done in a temperature-controlled lab conforming to ISO/IEC 17025 and ANSI/NCSL Z540-1.

How many masters?

Dual Master air gaging takes two masters, one at each end of the tolerance. Single Master takes one, at nominal. For best results with a single master, pick a size near the middle of the part tolerance.
