Mechanical Gauging (Gauges by Attributes)

Mechanical gauging is performed by means of mechanical instruments (gauges by attributes) that provide measurement results not as a numerical value, but a good/scrap status.

None of them have electronic units.

These instruments are:

• Go - no go gauges:
  • Smooth plugs for I.D.
  • Smooth snap gauges and rings for O.D.
  • Plugs and rings for threaded or splined diameters
• Fixtures (dog houses and layon gauges) with mechanical pins
• Masters and master gears
