Gauges

The document outlines the classification of plain gauges, including types such as ring gauges, gap/snap gauges, and taper gauges, along with their manufacturing and wear allowances. It discusses principles for gauge tolerance and the distinction between workshop and inspection gauges, emphasizing the importance of maintaining quality within prescribed limits. Additionally, it explains Taylor's Principle regarding the functionality of Go and No-Go members in checking the maximum and minimum metal limits of components.

Special purpose gauge
Manufacturing allowance
Gauge Tolerance, gauge maker’s allowance :
Gauges, like any other jobs require a manufacturing tolerance due to
reasonable imperfections in the workmanship of the gauge maker. The
gauge tolerance should be kept as minimum as possible though high costs
are involved to do so. The tolerance on the GO & NO GO gauges is usually
10% of the work (component) tolerance.
Wear allowance

Wear Allowance: The GO gauges only are subjected to wear due to rubbing
against the parts during inspection and hence a provision has to be made
for the wear allowance. Wear allowance is taken as 10% of gauge
tolerance and is allowed between the tolerance zone of the gauge and the
maximum material condition. (i.e. lower limit of a hole & upper limit of a
shaft). If the work (component) tolerance is less than 0.1 mm or 100
micron , wear allowance need not be given unless otherwise stated.
As NO GO member do not undergo rubbing action Wear allowance not
applicable to it.
Principles used for disposition of allowances
1) No work should be produced by workshop or accepted by the
inspection department which lies outside the prescribed limits of
size.
Here , gauge tolerance is placed inside component tolerance.
A concern which is quality conscious will concentrate more on this
principle and these gauges known as ‘ Workshop gauges ‘
2) No work should be rejected which lies within prescribed limits of
size.
Here, gauge tolerance is placed outside the component tolerance.
An organisation manufacturing for highly competitive market would
gives importance to this principle. The gauges made according to
this principle are known as ‘ Inspection gauges’
As to check the quality of component we have perform two attempt
one by workshop gauge another by inspection gauge, which
consumes time, so overcome this problem ‘General purpose
gauge’ is introduced where,
Go gauge tolerance is provided inside the prescribed limit and
No go gauge tolerance is provided outside the prescribed limit.
Taylor’s Principle
• 1) Go member should check Maximum metal limit /condition of
component with all types of permissible errors in terms of size, ovality
,form, circularity, straightness etc. Taken together . Hence the go member
should appear as a model or replica of the mating component.(i.e.Full
Form)

• 2)NO-Go member should check Minimum metal limit / condition of


component with all types of permissible errors in terms of size, ovality
,form, circularity, straightness etc. Taken together . Hence the No-Go
member should in separate qualifying elements for minimum metal limit.
