Lehrenprüfung

English translation: gauging

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Lehrenprüfung
English translation:gauging
Entered by: Ruth Wiedekind

German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing / quality assurance
German term or phrase: Lehrenprüfung
the context (control plan / FMEA) is:

1. Identprüfung (checking material)
2. Lehrenprüfung (Form und Lage)
3. Maßprüfung (Wandstärke)

-> 1. identity checking/inspection
-> 2. ? (not the gauge/checking fixure is inspected, but the part by means of the gauge/checking fixure) - I spent a lot of time looking for an adequate translation. Is there any experienced native speaker who could help me? (I suppose the difficulty is in the measuring/inspecting/testing difference - hard to translate into German.)
-> 3. measuring/dimensional inspection

gauging
Explanation:
... is what I'd use, and 'dimensional testing / inspection' for 'Maßprüfung' ('measuring' is too general and also includes gauging).

Gauging in this sense means 'using a tool to check the conformity of an object to a specific dimension' (or by extension a shape, position, orientation, etc.) -- but not necessarily measuring the actual dimension (in the sense of obtaining a numerical value). In that sense it's a comparative method of inspection (with respect to the gauge).

Thanks a lot, Kenneth.
Auch danke an Uschi. Über "jig testing" habe ich auch nachgedacht (RippeR III Modchip - Ripper 3 Modchip
Every chip delivered is 100% guarantied to be operational by extensive jig testing
of every device before shipment. Pb-free soldering process. ... http://www.ripper3.com/r3-specs.htm) - aber wenn ich Lehre im Text mit "gauge" bzw. "checking fixture" übersetze, passt "jig testing" nicht so. Mit "gauging" kann ich gut leben. Jedenfalls danke an alle.

coordinate measurement


Explanation:
Leider gehöre ich nicht zu den von dir gewünschten Experten, aber "coordinate measurement" ist wohl recht gängig und grenzt sich auch gut gegen "dimension measurement" ab.
