When gauging a pl ain cylindrical plug gauges, the diameter of one, theGo confirming to the maximu m metal limit of the hole and the diameter of theother the No-Go confirming to t he minimum metal limit. If the go gauge enterswhile the no go fails to enter the hole is considered to be with in the specifiedlimits.Taylors principles may be s tated as follows:The Go gauge should be as far as possible be the geometrical eq uivalent of themating part and [(i.e. it should be able to check all the possibl e dimensions at atime (roundness, size, location etc)]Separate No-Go gauges shou ld check the minimum metal condition of thedimensions of the component. No-Go ga uge should check only one element of thedimension at a time.This is because a No -Go gauge designed to check more than one dimension wouldfail to detect any dime nsion out side the minimum metal limit if one of thedimensions is being checked within the minimum metal limit as illustrated below. Fig.2.2.9According to Taylor it is not adequate to use simple Go gauge on outerd imensions only but the shape is an important factor i.e. Go gauge should be full form gauge and it should be constructed with reference to the geometrical formof the part being checked in addition to its size. In other words go gauge shouldc heck all the dimensions of a work piece in the maximum metal condition.As regard ing no go gauges, Taylor stated that it need not be of full form and eachfeature being dealt should be checked with a specific no go gauges. In otherwords no go gauge shall check only one dimension of the piece at the time for theminimum me tal conditions. Thus according to it, a hole should completely assemble with a go cylindrical pl uggauge made to the length of engagement of the hole and shaft. In addition, the hole is measured or gauged to check that its maximum diameter is not largerthan the no go limit.The Taylor principle interprets the limit of size for gauging ho les and shafts asfollows: For holes: The diameter of the largest perfect imaginary cylinder, which can beinscribed wi thin the hole so that it just contacts the highest points of the surface.The dia meter of the cylinder should not be less than the go limit of size furtherthe ma ximum diameter at any position in the hole should not exceed the no golimit. For shaft: The diameter of the smallest perfect imaginary cylindrical which canbe circumscr ibed around the shaft so that it contacts the highest points of thesurface. The diameter of cylinder should not be larger than go limit of size.Further the mini mum diameterAt any position on the shaft should not be less than "No Go limit of size.Note: According the Taylors principle the Go limit gauge should be a plug ring gauge with exactly Go diameter and length equal to the engagement length of the fi t to be made and this gauge must perfectly assemble with the work pieceinspected .The No Go gauge should contact the work piece surface only at two diametrically opposite points and have exactly No Go diameter at these two points. The gaugesh ould not be able to pass over in the work piece in any consecutive position inth e various diametric directions on the work piece length. Variations from Taylors principle. In many applications Taylors principle cannot be blindly followed. Some of thedev iations are allowed which basically do not deviate from the principles as such. For Go limit: it is not advisable to use full form and full length gauges which arebulky when the manufacturing process assures that the error of straightness willnot affect the character to fit.Only segmental cylindrical bar could be used when gauge hap pens to be tooheavy and when manufacturing process assures that the error in rou ndness willnot have any effect on the character of fit.For shafts (heavy) full f

orm ring gauge need not be used. The manufacturingprocess should takecare of the error of roundness(especially lobbing)and error of straightness in suchcases on ly gapgauges could besufficient.

Fig.2.10 For No Go limit: only two point contact should be there according to Taylor but itis not feasible because these devices are subjected to rapid wear etc. Hencethese can be safely replaced by small planes / cylindrical surfaces / sphericalsurfaces. ForGauging very small holes and in cases where work pieces may be deformed to anoral by a two point mechanical contact device, the No Go gauge of full form, mayhave to be used. Material for gauges: The material for gauges should fulfill most of the followingrequirements:Hardnes s to resist wearing.Stability to preserve size of form.Corrosion resistance.Merc hantability for obtaining the required degree of accuracyLow co-efficient of lin ear expansion to avoid temperature effect.Ex. High carbon steel, case hardened m ild steel, invar steel. Wear Allowance: The measuring surfaces of Go gauges, which frequentlyassemble with work, rubs cons tantly against the surfaces of the work. This resultin wearing of the surfaces o f the gauges of a result this loses initial dimensions.Thus due to wear Go plug ga uges size is reduced. Hence a wear allowance isadded to the Go gauge in a direct ion opposite toe wear. Thus for a Go plug gaugethe wear allowance will be added while in a ring or gap gauge the allowance issubtracted. Gauge tolerance or Gauge makers tolerance: Gauges like any other job,require a manufacturing tolerance, to compensate for i mperfections in workmanship. This is known as gauge makers tolerance.There are 3 methods giving tolerances on gaugesFirst system: (For workshop and inspection g auges) in this method, workshopand inspection gauges one made separately and the ir tolerance zones aredifferent.According to this system the tolerances on the w orkshop gauge are arranged tofall inside the work tolerances, while the inspecti on any tolerances fall outside thework tolerances. In workshop gauges Go gauge s hould eat away 10% of worktolerance and similarly No Go gauges tolerance is 1/10 th of work tolerance. Inrespection gauges, the gauges are kept beyond work toleranc e by 10% of itsvalue. Fig.2.12 Disadvantages:The components may be rejected by workshop gauges by inspection ga uges mayaccept them.The workshops of inspection gauges have to be made separatel y as theirtolerances are differentSecond system: (revised gauge limits) Under th is system reducing the tolerancezone of inspection gauge reduces the disadvantag es of inspection gauges and theworkshop gauge tolerance remains the same.In this system 110 of the range of work tolerance is covered instead of 120 th as inthe first system for inspection gauges.
