7. Using vernier calipers and a straight edge, measure dimension B shown in the illustration and check that dimension B is greater than dimension A, which was measured in step (a).

   Standard: 

   A + 1 mm (0.04 in.) or more 

   NOTE: Subtract the thickness of the straight edge from the measured value to gain dimension B.
