A dial test indicator (or DTI) is used to measure run out. It is also used to measure quality and consistency in the manufacturing process. One application in the manufacturing process would be to measure roundness. 3 people found this useful.
In Brief: the best dial test indicators are Swiss made. You have 4 commonly available brand names to choose from: Bestest, Compac, Interapid, Tesatast. All of these are made by the same manufacturer in Switzerland. There's nothing better on the market, in our opinion. (We should add Girodtast which is the only Swiss-made indicator not made by TESA.) The worst dial test indicators are Chinese, Japanese and - sorry to say - American.
