Suitability of hexagon sockets of nominal sizes larger than 1 in. shall bedetermined by direct measurement for various techni- cal and economic reasons, For dimensions of gages for sockets and spline sockets, see Tables I-1 and I-2 1-2. GAGING OF HEXAGON SOCKETS Hexagon sockets in screws shall allow the GO member of the gage to enter freely to the minimum key engage- ‘ment depths specified in the dimensional tables for the respective screw types. For hexagon sockets that are not chamfered, the NOT GO gage member shall not enter any of the three across- flat dimensions of the socket for nominal socket sizes of % in. and larger, and the hexagonal NOT GO gage member shall not enter the socket for nominal socket sizes smaller than % in. For chamfered hexagon sockets, the NOT GO gage ‘member shall be permitted to enter only to a depth equivalent to 10% of the nominal socket size for nominal socket sizes up to and including {4 in,, and to 75% of the nominal socket sizes for larger sockets. a7 1-3 GAGING OF SPLINE SOCKETS Spline sockets in screws shall allow the GO member of the gage to enter freely to the minimum key engagement depths specified in the dimensional tables for the respec- tive screw types. For spline sockets that are not chamfered, the NOT GO gage member shall not enter the socket.
