Method and system for measurement using a telescopic gauge

A method for determining dimensions of a measurement zone of a physical asset, the method comprising:

• determining one or more analog measurements corresponding to the measurement zone of the physical asset using a telescoping gauge, wherein the telescoping gauge comprises at least two sliding arms, a vertical arm, or combinations thereof;
• converting the one or more analog measurements to one or more digital measurements using a data digitizer;
• transferring wirelessly the one or more digital measurements to a processing subsystem;
• and
• identifying in real-time a condition of the physical asset based on processing the one or more digital measurements.

A system for measuring dimensions of a physical asset, the system comprising:

• a measurement subsystem operatively coupled to the physical asset, wherein the measurement subsystem comprises:
• a telescoping gauge comprising at least two sliding arms and a vertical arm, wherein the telescoping gauge is disposed in a measurement zone of the physical asset and configured to determine one or more analog measurements corresponding to the measurement zone of the physical asset;
• a data digitizer operatively coupled to the telescoping gauge and configured to convert the one or more analog measurements to one or more corresponding digital measurements;
• a wireless unit operatively coupled to the telescoping gauge, the data digitizer, or both and configured to wirelessly transmit the one or more digital measurements;
• and
• a processing subsystem configured to identify in real-time a condition of the physical asset based on the one or more digital measurements, a series of digital measurements, or a combination thereof.
