Standish Engineering specialises in the production of one off through to large batch quantities of components.
A comprehensive, in-house manufacturing capability enables a diverse range of work to be undertaken.
Phil Ashcroft, Standish Engineering Quality Manager explained, “Over the past couple of years, our reputation for delivering high quality components to a wide range of industrial sectors has enabled us to break-in to the demanding Oil and Gas industry. Although we use the latest Coordinate Measuring Machine technology for our final inspection checks, the demands of our new customers has meant that we have invested heavily in the best available Oil and Gas industry specific gauges.
“As Oil and Gas industry threaded parts must meet very exacting engineering specifications, dimensional accuracy and consistency are vitally important factors. After extensive research into suitable, high-precision metrology instruments, that could measure both internal and external threads, we discovered the Gagemaker range on the Bowers Group website.”
Phil Ashcroft continued; “We now use Gagemaker thread diameter gauges to inspect internal and external, functional and pitch diameters. Our ingenious new gauges are now delivering higher levels of accuracy than our previously used, more subjective solid plug and ring gauges. A bonus of our new thread diameter gauges is that they eliminate the possibility of accidental damage to threads that can be caused by the use of ring and plug gauges.
“Rather than our previously used comparative methods, the use of Gagemaker precision ground thread rolls now delivers precise inspection data. In addition to this, the flexible Gagemaker gauges cover a wide range of diameters, allowing us to make considerable savings on solid plug gauge purchases. This saving has been reflected in our keen pricing and has helped enable us to win several large Oil and Gas related contracts.”
