ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus measure squareness of an end of a rod relative to a longitudinal centerline axis thereof without requiring rotation of the rod. The apparatus includes a flat plate mounted substantially perpendicularly to the rod centerline axis. The method positions the plate in abutting contact with the rod end, and a tilt angle of the plate in abutting contact with the rod end is measured for determining squareness of the rod end.
