Summary
Wood diameter-measuring caliper gauges are convenient to use, provide more efficient and accurate measurements as compared with the best metal gauges and micrometers, and the ambient air temperature virtually has no effect on measurement results.
Wooden measuring equipment has a number of advantages as compared with metal equipment, providing the peculiarities of wood are taken into account. The use of such equipment should raise by 1–2 grades the accuracy in measuring articles according to GOST 2689-54.
