A measuring instrument commonly used in the machinist trade for setting or checking bevels, transferring angles, checking cutter clearance, laying out angles and scribing lines. Consists of a rotatable disk, graduated in degrees, mounted on a metal frame base, and an adjustable steel blade or scale which is locked in position by a thumb nut, or clamped by an eccentric stud. May also be equipped with one or two small auxiliary vernier scales which enable a more accurate reading. Excludes protractor, one arm; protractor, two arm; protractor, three arm.
Indicates there is no data in the hmirs and the nsn is in a fsc not generally suspected of containing hazardous materials.
Item does not contain precious metal.
The item does not have a nuclear hardened feature or any other critical feature such as tolerance, fit restriction or application.
HMIC: Hazardous Material Indicator Code. Identifies a hazardous item.
PMIC: Precious Metal Indicator Code. Identifies items that have precious metals as part of their content. precious metals are those metals generally considered to be uncommon, highly valuable, and relatively superior in certain properties such as resistance to corrosion and electrical conductivity.
ESD: Electrostatic Discharge. Indicates if an item is susceptible to electrostatic discharge or electromagnetic interference damage. electrostatic discharge damage occurs when an accumulation of static electricity generated by the relative motion or separation of materials is released to another item by direct contact. electromagnetic interference damage occurs when an item comes into proximity with an electrostatic or magnetic field.
ENAC: Enviromental Attribute Code. Identifies items with environmentally preferred characteristics.
CRITL: Criticality Indicator Code. Indicates an item is technically critical by tolerance, fit, application, nuclear hardness properties, or other characteristics.
