Introduction Reversible cylindrical plug gages, also known as reversible plain plug gages, are used to inspect a drilling opening. When one tip of a reversible gauge gets broken or worn, the gauge member may be flipped, giving outstanding value (basically two gauge components for the cost of one). With many use cases for WESTport’s cylindrical reversible plug gages you are now able to get a tool with multiple uses. Read on to learn more about WESTport's Trilock Cylindrical Reversible Plug Gages. Cylindrical Reversible Plug Gages Specifications The widths are ring-lapped to fit and carefully finished giving for improved precision and assuring optimal gage wearability. Equipped with NOGO and GO members in different classes, like Class Z, Y, X, XX, and XXX according to ANSI requirements. The aluminum gauge chambers are anodized red (NO GO) and green (GO) allowing for simple differentiation. Except as specifically indicated, the gage maker's margins will be imposed extra on the GO component and negative for the NO GO component. Available in carbide, chrome, and steel, the WESTport's cylindrical reversible plug gauges are made to last. Steel gauges are composed of high-grade 52100 tool steel that has been hardened to Rockwell C60-64 and cold annealed to minimize size and shape variations, resulting in an unusually extended gauge life. Gages measure 2.0" long. Special length gauges up to 6.0" in dimension are supplied. All gauges are polished, sanded, and lapped to a surface polish of 5 micro inches or greater. From .015" to 1.0100", reversible cylindrical steel and chrome plug gauges are provided. Carbide plug gauges range in size from .040" to.761". Cylindrical Reversible Plug Gages Special Features  Special characteristics like chamfers, radius, pilots, air flats, and depth notches are quoted on a case-by-case basis. WESTport Gage includes a complimentary Accuracy Certificate traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) with every gauge. These Gages are carefully lapped for maximum finish and accuracy and are kept to specification along their full length, allowing you to utilize either endpoint of the gauge. WESTport's cylindrical reversible plug gauges come in inch or metric sizes with carbide, chrome, and steel finishes. Custom gages are made and simply advise the dimension in inches or metric, the tolerance grade, and the tolerance applicability – Not Go (minus) or Go (plus), or Master (bilateral or split). Individual members do not come with handles. If a handle is necessary, please indicate. At no extra charge, the tolerance, size, tolerance, and instrument number are securely inscribed on the grip. All specifications are available – please contact 1-888-876-8587 and a WESTport specialist would gladly generate an estimate for you.

Introduction Cylindrical plug gages are available in a variety of designs predicated on size and use. The preceding is a breakdown of the many designs. The taperlock gage gets its name from the tapered shank that latches into the tapered aperture at the end of the lever. It is the American Gage Design Committee's time-honored standard for gages up to 12 inches in diameter. The truth that these gages have enough tolerance and size marked on the shaft of the sections is a benefit. There is no doubt as to what they've been if and when they are detached from the handles. The NoGo and Go members have a varied length of gauging surface, which aids in identification. Because the NoGo gage is not meant to enter the component, it is permitted to make it shorter. Read on to learn more about WESTport's Trilock Cylindrical Plug Gages. Trilock Cylindrical Plug Gages’ Progressive Design   In certain circumstances, having the NoGo and Go diameters on the same gage member might save some gauging time. For example, a progressive plug is appropriate for inspecting a short hole that is exposed on both sides. Furthermore, the opening cannot be subtler than the plug's Go portion. Progressive type gages are often taperlock, although any design may be made progressive. The gauging members are just basic pins that may be withdrawn from the handle by tightening the collet nuts on the ends. Marking the tolerance and size on the tips of larger gage members helps to identify them. When the gage is too tiny, it is impossible to discern between the Go and NoGo members without the use of measuring devices. The collet nuts at the handle's ends are colored differently - red for NoGo and green for Go. This traffic light method is frequently used in attribute measurement. Trilock Design The pin (reversible) and Taperlock systems are not suitable for big, heavy gages. The trilock configuration has been proven to be ideally adapted for gages with diameters ranging from 8 to 12 inches. The trilock mechanism superficially resembles the design. The grip has triple prongs on each end that slide into slots, distributed uniformly around the gage members' centre hole. A bolt secures the part to the handle, while the trilock prongs and grooves provide stability. Trilocks, like pin (reversible) locks, are bidirectional because either side may be fastened to the lever. Therefore, if the user values the reversibility characteristic, which allows for dual usage, one can buy reversible gages in all sizes in the range. Military specifications, which military contractors must normally follow, demand for pin type reversible gages in sizes ranging from .510 to 1.510 inches and taperlocks in sizes ranging from .510 to 1.510 inches. Trilocks are advised for sizes ranging from 1.510 to 8.010 inches. The paramount concern in creating a very big gage (more than an 8-inch diameter) to keep it lightweight, enough to carry effortlessly without tiring the operator out. Because these gages must be fully reliable in size and roundness, they are made with very little metal parts as feasible. For convenient handling, the annulus gage has twin screw-in ball grips similar to those seen on machineries.  Conclusion Since 1989, the WESTport team has been providing excellent quality Trilock Cylindrical Plug Gages all around the world.

Introduction WESTport provides a complete line of cylindrical ring gages (steel and chrome) for go/no go gauging. The gages are perfect for evaluating manufactured items' outer diameters. A tester can swiftly pass or fail items using go/no go gages instead of obtaining time-consuming measurements from more costly testing instrument. Go ring gages are made with a negative tolerance. They are manufactured with a plus tolerance. The go gauge is used to confirm the upper limit. The no go gauge is used to ensure that the lower limit is met. Cylindrical gages, like fixed limit gages, are designed to fit the part's minimum and maximum material conditions. Generally, the fixed limit gauge is a three-dimensional duplicate of the mated part. This gauge tolerance mechanism assures that an examiner must never approve a faulty component. The use of fixed limit go/no go simple cylindrical gages needs just minimal training. The inspector merely needs to ensure that the gauge fits over the outer diameter of their component. Cylindrical Ring Gages -– Specifications Cylindrical ring gages, also known as plain ring gages, are used to verify the exterior dimensions of produced products. They may also be used to calibrate an instrument, whether electronic or air, and exist in a variety of sizes and styles. Ring gages with a diameter less than 1.510 are made without the need for a hinged external diameter, whereas gages with a diameter more than 1.510" are created with a hinged diameter. Removing excessive content from the external ring gauge diameter reduces the weight, making it simpler for the user to operate. Perfect for GO NOGO and master gauging. The NO GO ring is distinguished from the GO ring by a circular groove on its circumference. Air gages, bore gages, and internal micrometers can all be set using plain ring gages. Lead inaccuracies on readings can be reduced by utilizing the very same size master. Ring gauge blanks are stabilized by rotating these across high temperatures ranging from -130°F to +300°F. They are polished and lapped to guarantee optimal abrasion resistance and longer wearability. The gauge is next tested for class and size in a temperature-controlled lapping room before being finished in our environmentally controlled ISO 17025 metrology laboratory. ANSI/ASME B89.1.6 - 1984 ANSI/ASME B89.1.6 - 1984 Gage blanks fulfill all of B47.1-criteria. Ring. Available in sizes as small as 015" to 25". Unless otherwise indicated, all sizes above 5.510" are furnished with perforated openings for ball grips. WESTport Gage includes a free Certificate of Accuracy traceable to the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) its gages.
