Balance and phase
This term used to describe the resistive balance and phase characteristics that relate to inductive gauges.
Bandwidth
The ratio between Lc Cut-off (upper) and Ls Cut-off (lower) values. For example, on surface finish instruments, if the upper cut-off Lc was 0.8mm and the lower cut-off Ls was 0.008mm, then the bandwidth would be Lc/Ls = 100:1
For roundness instruments the bandwidth would be the ratio between the upper and lower filters. For example, a 50 – 500 UPR filter would have a bandwidth of 500/50 = 10:1.
Bearing Ratio
Alternative term for Material Ratio.
See Material Ratio and the parameter Rmr.
