Measurement of Bore Roundness

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA131249 | Open PDF

Abstract:

In progress after honing, before rifling diameter checks of the 8 inch gun tube failed to detect an out of round condition caused by a worn machine bearing. Excessive groove depth variations discovered on final inspection eventually led to the development of an in-process measurement device capable of detecting out of roundness conditions in the tube bore.
