The Bowers rivet-height gauge has been specially designed to measure the height of rivets used on aircraft outer skin. If the top of the rivet is too high above or too low below the level of the rivet-hole, the streamlining of the aircraft will be affected. This wind-resistance will be magnified many times depending on the number of rivets present in the outer hull and on the wings of the aircraft. The rivet-height gauge measures the height of the top of the rivet in relation to the level of the surrounding aircraft skin, enabling tolerances to be maintained and providing a valuable reference measurement to help determine the streamlining of the aircraft and the consequent effects on its aerodynamics and fuel efficiency.
