DEFINITION

Gauging is defined as a process of measuring manufacturing materials to

assure the specified uniformity of size .

TYPES OF GAUGES
1. Fixed gauges It is most common and are
used for both large and small production.

2. Indicating gauges It is comparatively

complex.

3. Combination gauges It is special devices to

check more than one dimension of work piece at a given setup.

FIXED GAUGES
Used for inspection purposes
Provide quick means of checking specific dimension

Easy to use and accurately finished to required tolerance Master gauges are usually designed and manufacturing by companies specializing in this type of product.

TYPES OF IXED GAUGES

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Ring gauges Receiving gauges Plug gauges Pin gauges Snap gauges Length gauges Flush-pin gauges 8. Thread gauges 9. Form gauges 10. template gauges 11. Go-not-go gauges 12. Dovetail gauges 13. Taper gauges

1. RING GAUGES
Ring gauges are used to measure cylindrical surface, taper on shafts, and similar work piece as well as external threads.

2. RECEIVING GAUGES These are similar to gages but are used to verify the specified uniformity of size and noncircular holes.

3. PLUG GAuGES
Used for checking inside diameter of straight hole (generally "go" and "no-go" variety) Consists of handle and plug on each end ground and/or lapped to specific size Small-diameter plug ("go" gauge) checks lower limit of hole Larger-diameter plug checks upper limit

4. PIN GAUGES
Pin gauges are also used to measure the width of slots or grooves. The pin gauges some time called width gages.

5. LENGTH GAUGES The length gauges is special gauge design to check a work piece for length quickly.

6. SNAP GAUGES
One of most common types of comparative measuring instruments Faster to use than micrometers Used to check diameters within certain limits by comparing part size to preset dimension of snap gage Have C-shaped frame with adjustable gaging anvils or rolls set to"goand"no-go limits of the part.

7.FLUSH PIN GAUGES

It is used to gauging the depth of slots. Flush pin gauges are not listed as standard in manufactures. It is also called as feeler pin gauges.

8. THREAD GAUGES It is used to measure the threads in threaded components.

9. FORM GAUGES
This is specially design to check the form of work piece. Typically the form gauges used to check a cutting tool.

10. TEMPLATE GAUGES These are similar to form gauge but are designed to check the position and dimensions of a two adjustment surface. It is also designed to check two shoulders of shafts and designed to check the way of a machine tool.

11. GO-NOT-GO GAUGES

Twin gauges measuring the maximum and minimum limits of a work piece are called go-not-go gauges. 12. DOVETAIL GAUGES Dovetail gauges used to measure v slides are . It is impossible to ensure two mating surface by checking the dimensions from edge to edge. 13. TAPER GAUGES Tapered holes are commonly checked by tapered plug gauges. Tapered shafts and tapered plug gauges can be checked by means of sine bar.
