Bore gauges are widely used for inside measurement of cylindrical objects like pipes and cylinders. They offer advantages over transfer gauges by allowing direct readings without requiring a second measurement, ensuring accuracy. The long extension handle of bore gauges solves the short reach issue of inside micrometers without compromising accuracy. Bore gauges are also more cost-effective compared to three-point inside micrometers, which fulfill similar needs but at a higher cost. Hence, bore gauges are a preferred choice due to their accuracy, convenience, and affordability.
