CHAPTER 2 - ZEROING
2-4
Important:
You should understand that the "Zeroing" process does not result in the Dipstick
®
showing
"0.000" or "Zero" as a reading.
The Dipstick will always show the difference in elevation between the two feet, no matter
where they are placed on the floor. It is almost impossible to find a location where two
points that are 12 inches (300mm) apart are at exactly the same elevation. It just doesn’t
happen. On a real floor, one end will always be a few thousandths of an inch (a few tenths
of a mm) higher than the other.
The zeroing process simply ensures that the Dipstick
®
will give the same reading at a
particular location, regardless of which end of the Dipstick
®
is "forward". When you think
about it, this makes sense.
Note that after the Dipstick is Zeroed, it will read the same after you turn it 180° and put it
back in the same place on the floor.
