Description

A typical coaxial connector dial gauge This exercise was conducted during the sixth ANAMET meeting, which took place at SESC, DRA Aquila, Bromley, on the 23rd May 1996. Participants brought their own dial gauges to the meeting during which a session was set aside so that the items could be circulated freely around the meeting table.

Eight representatives at the meeting chose to participate in the exercise which consisted of measuring the connector pin recession depth for a range of type―N, 50 ohm, coaxial items. The results were summarised "live" at the meeting, including providing summary statistics (average and measure of spread). The entire exercise took less than an hour to complete (i.e. to do all the measurements, process the results and provide the participants with the statistical summary).
