Pocket comparator

A pocket comparator is an optical device for measuring and inspection comprising a loupe and a reticle.[1] The instrument was developed and manufactured by the Bell & Howell Company, but similar instruments of other names are made by other manufacturers.[2][3]

It is used for:

  • Linear measurements in fractions of an inch[4][5][6]
  • Circular measurements in fractions of an inch
  • Radius measurements
  • Angle measurements
  • Narrow line width measurements[7]
  • Circular measurements in decimals of an inch
  • Linear measurements in inches
  • Linear measurements in millimeters

Measurements are performed by bringing the surface of the reticle as close as possible to the work inspected.[8]
