Scope and common interpretation errors
For shaped hollow accessories and small sleeves, not unfamiliar high-risk pressure tubing.
Pin loading, fit and tool location affect bore position. Soft samples can ovalize after demolding; clamping changes them further.
Turn the review into recorded checks
| Step | Action and evidence |
|---|---|
| 1 · Define section orientation | Link tool and specimen directions and record circumferential wall thickness. |
| 2 · Check tool location | Review pin fixing, wear and cavity differences instead of only overall means. |
| 3 · Validate the measurement | Use low-distortion holding or agreed sectioned specimens, managing destructive samples separately. |
A comparison to avoid misinterpretation
A repeatably thin side in one cavity suggests relating pin position and fill direction. Random orientation calls for further demolding and measurement checks.
Frequently asked question
Do passing bore and outside diameters prove acceptable walls?
No. Eccentricity can still create a locally thin wall.
