The Depth Gauge is a small, accurate measuring tool used for hydraulic hose assembly operations. It helps technicians mark the exact skive length required before stripping off the outer hose cover. Proper skiving ensures that fittings sit correctly on the hose, promoting a leak-free, durable connection. The depth gauge features clear markings or adjustable stops that allow for consistent and repeatable measurements. It's required during the hose preparation stage to maintain fitting integrity and prevent premature hose failure.Attributes:• Has markings on both sides of the scale.• Provided with an increment of 0.5 millimeter.• Provided with a sliding T-square.• Has a locking thumb screw for accurate measurements.Applications: The Depth Gauge is used to mark correct skive lengths in hose assembly workshops, field repair trucks, and maintenance stations supporting hydraulic hoses for equipment.
