Study of Limit Gauges.

2.6 Apparatus required: (a) Plug gauges (b) Snap gauge, etc.
2.7Theory: The limit gauges are inspection tools of rigid design with out a scale, which serve
to check the dimensions of manufactured parts. Gauges do not indicate the actual value of the
inspected dimension on the work.
work. They can only be used for determining as whether the
inspected parts are made with in specified limits.
