Notice that the HEMCOChrome coating thickness exceeds the competitors by many times.
Hemco creates this unique difference by using talented teams of experienced, caring people combined with:
- 0-1 Tool Steel through-hardened to 58-62 Rc then HEMCOChrome processed to 72 Rc.
- Altered geometric engineering. We manufacture undersize then plate up to as close to the tolerance high side as possible.
- Chrome plating equipment designed & built by HEMCO specifically for tight tolerance gaging.
- Chrome plating bath formulas improved with HEMCO's unique process.
You Benefit by Saving Money! In laboratory tests the HEMCOChrome gage outlasts the competitors plain steel gage or the imitators flash chrome gage: 4:1.
Testing Laboratory results indicate that the competitor chrome gage provided 20% longer life over an unplated hardened tool steel gage. Tested using 1/2-13 UNC Go Plugs in cast iron.

Subject: RE: Wear on thread gauges.
I first found out about HEMCO back when I worked in the Cal Lab and stated noticing a very high rate of scrap gages. I was looking at all these scrap gages that were much newer than this other older "HEMCO" gage. It was about 15 years old and was still in good shape even though it was a fairly high use gage. I asked a colleague about HEMCO and he said they are THE BEST, most accurate and longest wearing gages made.
I went and looked them up on the internet and we immediately started using them, especially for our taper gages. Our special taper gages are hard to make correctly and take so long to get from anyone. It seemed to make sense: if they last longer, in the long run I would be purchasing less gages and that has been my findings. I know, from the quality measurement standpoint this is just personal opinion but it is now shared by all the technicians who have been calibrating these gages for yeas in our Calibration Lab.
