Metro Logy: B.Sc. Industrial Engineering and Management

The document discusses the use of ring gauges in metrology. Ring gauges are cylindrical tools used to quickly check if the outer diameter of machined parts fall within specified tolerances. There are three main types: go rings check if a part can pass through, no-go rings check if a part cannot pass through, and master/set rings establish the tolerance limits. The document provides instructions on how to use ring gauges by selecting the proper blade size and checking if it fully seats on the part's radius or fillet. It then shows the results of checking 6 sample items against ring gauges.

Experiment # 6:
To verify the acceptability of a given specimen using a ring gauge.

1. Objectives
Students will be able to
1. Learn about the basics of ring gauge.
2. Usability of ring gauge.

2. Equipment
1. Ring Gauge
2. Suitable Specimen for Measurement

3. Ring Gauge
Ring gauges are metrology tools that are used for gaging the outer diameters of pins,
shafts, splines, fasteners, dowels, studs, and other machined cylindrical parts. These gauges are
typically cylindrical in shape and are fabricated from a stable material (usually tool steel) with a
highly precise (very high-tolerance) bore in their center that functions as the gauge for the outer
diameter of the parts. The primary function of ring gauges is to establish on a go/no-go basis
whether the part being gaged falls within the dimensional tolerance that was specified for it. The
use of ring gauges enables inspections and quality decisions about machined parts to be made
very quickly without the need to resort to the use of micrometers, calipers, thickness gauges, or
other measurement instruments that could take longer to yield a result.

It important to note that ring gauges are used to quickly establish if a part falls within the
accepted tolerances and yields a yes/no condition based on the gaging. It is not a measurement
instrument in the sense that it is not providing an actual value of the part’s diameter. It simple
gages whether the part falls within permissible limits and therefore can be accepted from a
quality control perspective. There are three primary types of ring gauges from the functional
perspective.

1. Go Ring Gauge
2. No-Go Ring Gauge
3. Master/ Set Ring Gauge

2. How to Use
Step 1. Open the inner/ outer side of the radius gauge as per the requirements. Knobs can use to
loosen the blade which would make easy to open the leaves/ blades.
Step 2. Select the accurate size and shape of leaf/ blade of the radius gauge regarding the
specimen.
Step 3. Check/ Read the measurement of that leaf/ blade which is accurately seated in the
internal or external fillets/ radius.
