How to Calculate Gauge Tolerance (Plug and Snap)

Calculation of Gauge Tolerance 
(Plug and Snap)
    Simply  the  best  way  to  calculate  gauge  tolerance  by  using  IS : 3455 – 1971 Chart.

 1. Plug  Gauge  Tolerance  Calculation:-           

                                 GO = (K+Z) ± H/2
                           NOGO = G ± H/2

            Where    ‘K’   is minimum size,

                           ‘G’   is maximum size,
                           ‘Z’ , ‘H/2’  Value  is taken from Chart through difference between   

Maximum  and  Minimum size.  It is called ‘T’ in µm. (nothing but Hole Tolerance)
For Example,

            P/G Ø 20.0 ± 0.02   (19.98 / 20.02)

            K = 19.98,
            G = 20.02,
            T = 20.02 - 19.98 = 0.04 (40 µm),      you know    (0.001mm = 1 µm)
Go to chart  
            Z = 0.005,
       H/2 = 0.002,
      GO = (K+Z) ± H/2

GO = (19.98+0.005) ± 0.002,
GO = 19.985 ± 0.002.

  NOGO = G ± H/2

       NOGO = 20.02 ± 0.002.

2. Snap  Gauge  Tolerance  Calculation :-  

                       GO = (G - Z1) ± H1/2
                     NOGO = (K+ ∞ 1) ± H1/2
For Example,

           S/G   20.0 ± 0.02   (19.98 / 20.02)

            K = 19.98,
            G = 20.02,
            T = 20.02 - 19.98 = 0.04 (40 µm),      you know    (0.001mm = 1 µm)
Go to chart  
            Z1 = 0.005,
       H1/2 = 0.003,
       GO = ( G - Z1 ) ± H1/2
GO = (20.02 – 0.005) ± 0.003,
GO = 20.015 ± 0.003.

 NOGO = (K+ ∞ 1 ) ± H1/2

            NOGO = 19.98 ± 0.003.
