Feature Size:
This is to be measured only in the cut portion of the hole
and the cut portion of the outside diameter.

Shear or Burnished
Land:
This is a burnished area which is approximately one
third of the material.

Break:
This is an area which is tapered about three degrees.
This area has a rougher surface than the cut area.

Roll Over:
This is a natural consequence of the punching process
and the mechanical properties of the material being punched and the die application techniques employed.

Inside Diameter (I.D.):
Use plug gauges.

Outside Diameter (O.D.):
Use micrometer at shear or burnished land.

Thickness:
Use micrometer measurement exclusive of burr.

Flatness:
Washer must pass between two parallel surfaces whose
distance is equal to the allowable material tollerance plus
the allowed flatness tollerance.

Burr:
Use a dial indicator as it has a minimum amount of
pressure, will not crush the burr, and gives the most
accurate reading.
