Plug Gauge - Simple Guide You Have to Read Before Buying - LFC

The plug gauge is a measuring inspection tool to check the inner diameter of holes. After producing a component, it is important for you to check and find out whether the component is produced within the specified tolerance, this is where the plug gauge comes into play. They are one of the most widely used measuring tools in the manufacturing industry to check the diameter of a component. The plug gauge is an inspection tool that is manufactured with precision and has very tight tolerances. This article provides information about the functions, types, uses, tolerances, configurations and plug gauge products sold by us in Singapore.

What is Plug Gauge?

The plug gauge is a metrology tool used to check the accuracy of internal diameters of holes. They can sometimes also come in the form of pin gauges. It consists of two wear-resistant steel cylinders which are sized to the limit value of the hole's dimensions. As a bore checker, plug gauges are a crucial tool for quality control and allow inspectors, engineers, manufacturing engineers, and others to quickly make a “Go” or “No-Go” decision. They are used to determine whether the characteristics of the part being measured are within the dimensional tolerance specified.

A “Go” or “No-Go” plug gauge is also called a single ended plug gauge and consists of a pin or machine shaft grip used to verify the dimensional tolerance aspect of the bore. To measure single ends, plug gauges are usually made in pairs, one “Go” gauge and one “No-Go” gauge.

Function

The plug gauge is used to check the dimensions of the inner diameter of a hole, whether it is within the tolerance specified. When the hole is found to be within the tolerance, production can then be continued. This checking process is designed to get an accurate assessment without requiring the production side to use additional measuring tools, which tend to be more sophisticated and expensive such as an internal micrometer.

In production, where parts are produced in massive quantities, plug gauges provide a quick way to assess the quality of a workpiece by inspecting actual hole diameters.

Types of Plug Gauge

Plug gauges are available in several types, namely:

1. Plug gauge “Go” (lower hole gauge)

The “Go” plug gauge is manufactured to check the minimum limit of a hole's dimension, i.e. the tolerance lower than the hole diameter which represents the maximum amount of material remaining in the work part or component.

For acceptance condition, the plug gauge must fit snugly into the hole. If the plug gauge does not fit into the workpiece's hole, this is an indication that the hole diameter is too small (the amount of material removed from the working part is not sufficient) and the part needs to be rejected.

2. Plug gauge “No-Go” (upper hole gauge)

The function of a “No-Go” plug gauge is to validate the maximum hole dimension limit (tolerance over hole diameter) which corresponds to the minimum acceptable amount of material remaining in the work part or component.

For the part to be accepted by quality control, the plug gauge must not be able to enter the hole. If the plug gauge does not fit into the hole, then this is an indication that the hole diameter is below the upper limit and the section is acceptable (provided the “Go” plug gauge goes into the hole). However, if a “No-Go” plug gauge can enter the hole, then it is an indication that the hole diameter is too large (i.e. outside the specified upper tolerance limit), which means that too much material is being removed during the machining operation, and therefore that part must be rejected.

These conditions are summarized in Table 1.

3. Combination of “Go” / “No-Go” plug gauge

In a combination "Go" / "No-Go" plug gauge (also known as a double-ended plug gauge), the plug gauge has a "Go" section extending outward from one side of the handle and a "No-Go" section extending outward from the opposite side. This makes the tool simpler and allows the inspection process to run faster.

On some models, the handles are color coded, the “Go” section is painted green and the “No-Go” section is painted red. Even without color coding, “Go” gauge plugs can always be distinguished from “No-Go” gauge plugs under two observable conditions:

“Go” gauge plugs are always smaller in diameter than “No-Go” gauge plugs.
“Go” gauge plugs always have a larger width (thickness) than “No-Go” gauge plugs.

Application

Plug gauges provide quick results and users can learn to use it with minimal training as the plug gauge is remarkably simple to use. You would not require deep knowledge of scientific methods and metrology to use the plug gauge. The simplicity of its use opens the tool up to a wider group of users. It further makes this tool inexpensive compared to other measuring tools.

One of the disadvantages of plug gauges is that they tend to wear out over time and need to be replaced. The plug gauge should also be checked periodically to ensure that it is within tolerance limits.

Plug Gauge Tolerance

Plug gauges are available in a variety of tolerance classes that can be selected according to the specific requirements of the application and the need for precision. We normally use ISO engineering fits to describe plug gauges as it is the internationally accepted standard for defining engineering fits. However, ANSI is still often used in North America region.

The ISO System of Limits and Fits is a coordinated system of hole and shaft tolerances for engineering and manufacturing used for gauges. If held to these tolerances, gauges are available throughout the world. The hole basis fits have hole tolerances like H11, H9, H8, and H7 for instance; the shaft basis fits have shaft tolerances like h11, h9, h7, and h6 for instance.

Below is an example of some common tolerances for nominal diameter sizes 0 to 30 mm.

Tolerance Tolerance2 over 0 to 3 over 3 to 6 over 6 to 10 over 10 to 18 over 18 to 24 over 24 to 30 Shafts h6 0.000 -0.006 0.000 -0.008 0.000 -0.009 0.000 -0.011 0.000 -0.013 0.000 -0.013 Shafts h7 0.000 -0.010 0.000 -0.012 0.000 -0.015 0.000 -0.018 0.000 -0.021 0.000 -0.021 Shafts h9 0.000 -0.025 0.000 -0.008 0.000 -0.009 0.000 -0.011 0.000 -0.013 0.000 -0.013 Shafts h11 0.000 -0.060 0.000 -0.075 0.000 -0.090 0.000 -0.110 0.000 -0.130 0.000 -0.130 Holes H7 +0.010 0.000 +0.012 0.000 +0.015 0.000 +0.018 0.000 +0.021 0.000 +0.021 0.000 Holes H8 +0.014 +0.000 +0.018 +0.000 +0.022 +0.000 +0.027 +0.000 +0.033 +0.000 +0.033 +0.000 Holes H9 +0.025 +0.000 +0.030 +0.000 +0.036 +0.000 +0.043 +0.000 +0.052 +0.000 +0.052 +0.000 Holes H11 +0.060 0.000 +0.075 0.000 +0.090 0.000 +0.110 0.000 +0.130 0.000 +0.130 0.000

On the other hand, standards found In Measurement of Plain External Diameters for use as Master Discs or Cylindrical Plug Gages, B89.1.5 – , published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, plug gauges are typically rated to the following levels:

1. Class XX

This gauge has an inch tolerance of 0.” and a metric tolerance of 0. mm.

2. Class X

This gauge has an inch tolerance of 0.” and a metric tolerance of 0.001 mm.

3. Class Y

This gauge has an inch tolerance of 0.” and a metric tolerance of 0. mm.

4. Class Z

This gauge has an inch tolerance of 0.” and a metric tolerance of 0. mm.

5. Class ZZ

This gauge has an inch tolerance of 0.” and a metric tolerance of 0.005 mm.

Standard practice for plug gauges is to set a tolerance of plus 5% of the product bore tolerance to the “Go” gauge plug and a minus 5% tolerance to the “No-Go” gauge plug, for a total band tolerance of 10%

Plug Gauge Configuration and Material Options

Plug gauges come in several configurations making them suitable for different uses. Plain plug gauges are used to check dimensional tolerances in bore holes drilled with smooth walls. There is also thread plug gauges which are used to check threaded holes, and verify the correct thread type, main diameter, minor diameter, pitch diameter, and thread pitch against a mating thread gauge. As with ring gauges, some gauge plugs called master sets or master plugs are not used as working gauges but are used to validate other measuring instruments such as bore gauges or external micrometers.

For example, by providing measurement standards or reference standards for calibration purposes. This practice is known as indirect measurement.

The plug gauge also includes the following:

On a worn plug gauge there is usually a black oxide layer that shows a wear pattern when the tool is used, making it easier to determine when the tool needs to be replaced.
Plug gauge set, where various gauge sizes are offered in a case or cabinet.
The target gauge plug gauge allows the user to specify the target gauge size and type (“Go” or “No-Go”).
Thread plug gauge for NPT threaded pipe allows the user to verify the internal thread in threaded pipe joints.
The thread plug gauge handle allows the user to swap gauge sizes.
Hexalobe plug gauge used to check fit and cut tolerances on 6 point star shaped patterns.

Plug gauges are typically manufactured using high grade tool steel such as . This option provides corrosion resistance due to the high chromium content of the steel and reduces friction during use which helps extend tool life.

Tungsten carbide gauges offer high wear resistance, about 50x that of tool steel. In addition, it is non-magnetic, resistant to corrosion, and will not burr. However, tungsten carbide has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, so tighter temperature control is required when using tools of this material to measure steel parts with tight tolerances.

A chrome plated gauge plug will also provide a harder surface and can be used to measure abrasive materials such as magnesium or aluminum.
