Electronic temperature compensation has been successfully applied to shop-floor gauges for more than 25 years. It’s become a mature technology and proven to be one of the most easily cost-justified means to achieve gauge correlation and eliminate the most common cause of high-resolution gauge error, namely temperature. Yet it is still poorly understood and commonly undervalued.

Electronic temperature compensation can save many times its investment cost within months by maintaining gauge repeatability and reproducibility (R&R), and thus effectively controlling production processes while temperatures vary, all in real time.
