Accuracy: How close a gage's measurements are to the true value.
Attribute Data: Purely binary in nature. Good or Bad, Yes or No.
Calibration: Set of operations that establish, under specified conditions, the relationship between values
of quantities indicated by a measuring instrument or measuring system, or values represented by a
material measure or a reference material, and the corresponding values realized by standards.
Certification: Validation process of inspecting a gage to ensure it conforms to design fit form and
function of all dimensional specifications including the preparation of documents for recording
conformance.
Characteristics:
hardness, etc.
Check Detail: Any detail on the gage that makes up the construction measurement tools that validates a
Construction Tooling Balls: Used for alignment, construction and establishing the XYZ dimensional
Cube Fixture: Modular holding fixture system used to poise panels for CMM inspection. The modules
are assembled on a universal block known as a cube and/or holding fixture.
Datum: Part features that locate a part, panel or assembly. They are the theoretical starting coordinates
for measuring other features on the part. The datum can be a surface, hole, slot or other feature.
Default Tolerances: Generic tolerances are applied to all features not explicitly controlled by tolerances
on the face of a two-dimensional drawing or in the three-dimensional CAD model. These tolerances are
typically defined in or near the title block of a drawing or on the comments page of a CAD model. Their
inspection frequencies are typically at PPAP, inspection for presence and size prior to production runs
and at the annual full part inspection.
Durability: Assurance or probability that an equipment, machine, or material will have a relatively long
continuous useful life, without requiring an inordinate degree of maintenance or repair.
Page: 8/75
CS.00118
Change Level: B
Features: Geometric elements defining fit form and function of a part or an assembly (holes, slots,
surfaces, edges, etc.).
Feeler Gage: A measurement device that is used to check form gaps, trim edges and surface between
the checkrail and the part that typically inspects design limits.
Flush Gage: A measurement device used to measure the offset between two adjacent surfaces.
Functional Features: Features essential to the use of a products functional objective of the assembly of
a product.
Gage: Inspection tool used to evaluate attribute data to a parts functional design specifications.
Gage Concept: First phase in the gage design process.
Gage Certification Layout Report: A report that shows the actual measured feature locations and/or
sizes of all inspection details on a gage.
Gage Design: Fully detailed final construction drawings that will enable the gage builder to fabricate the
gage to the requirements of this gage for use by the part supplier.
Gage R&R: Is a measurement system study to determine the magnitude and source of measurement
error. The analysis is described in the AIAG Measurement Systems Analysis Manual.
Inspection Fixture: Rigid structure that supports a part by its datum features and is typically used in
conjunction with a CMM, a laser or optical measurement device.
Least Material Conditio n (LMC): Condition where the feature of size contains the least amount of
material (Ex.: Min shaft diameter/Max hole or feature diameter or size)
Locators: Features that locate the part datums relative to a known system (base, CMM etc.) for the
purpose of measuring the features of the part.
MAC (Automatic Machine Check): Holding fixture that is used for contact or non-contact inspection. Light
scanning is the primary use for these fixtures
Maximum Material Condition (MMC): Condition where the feature of size contains the maximum
amount of material; (i.e. holes at minimum size, part boundaries at maximum).
MIC (Indicative Check Equipment): Gage that is used to collect attribute data and/or variable data.
Native CAD: Parameterized CAD design that has not been translated from the original software
Non-Contact Gaging: A process for imaging product features then converting a series of 2-dimensional
digital images into an accurate 3-dimensional representation and measurement data.
Non-Functional Features: Features identified as being non functional and have no related uses of a
product or the assembly of a product.
Plug Gage: A measurement device that is used to check the internal GO/NO-GO dimensions of size
features (a hole, slot, etc.).
Page: 9/75
CS.00118
Change Level: B
Reliability: Overall consistency of a measure. A measure is said to have a high reliability if it produces
similar results under ongoing usage conditions.
Repeatability: Variations in measurements from one operator using a gage several times to measure
identical characteristics on the same part.
Reproducibility: Variations in average measurements from different operators using a gage several
times to measure identical characteristics on the same parts.
Regardless Of Feature Size (RFS): Term used to indicate that a geometric tolerance or datum
reference applies at any increment of size of the feature within its size tolerance.
Sight Check: Visual method for verifying part features.
Significant Characteristics: Product characteristics for which variation must be documented and
controlled to ensure proper function. (Reference CEP-12679)
Snap Gage: Measurement device used to check the external dimensions of a feature (dowel, rod, etc.).
Stab Pin: An inspection detail that is used to determine if a feature of size is properly located.
Templates: Inspection details made from thin material to check localized part/features for a profile of a
line requirement.
Variable Data: Documented quantitative data that specifies actual part measurements.
Validation: Certification data (inspection program) back to the CAD model data that ensures
confirmation that the gage is designed and built to the FCA Gage Standard.
