Confirm that the gages conform to the proper national or international standard, such as ANSI\/ASME, ISO or JIS.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalibrate the gages regularly and recheck them with the matching master set plug before use. The set plug must be clean and calibrated to ensure it is not nicked, tapered or out of tolerance. Lubricate the set plug with a thin film of light viscosity oil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the threaded parts and the gages before and after gauging. Use a cleaning solvent or pressurized air to remove any dirt or debris and then apply a rust preventative or gage preservative to protect the gages from any type of corrosion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse the \u003cstrong\u003eGo thread plug gage\u003c\/strong\u003e to check the internal threads and the go thread ring gage to check the external threads. The go gage should engage the threaded part with very little force. If the Go gage does not enter or pass through the part, the part is too small or tight and needs to be addressed accordingly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse the \u003cstrong\u003eNO GO thread plug gage\u003c\/strong\u003e to check the internal threads and the no-go thread ring gage to check the external threads. The NO GO gage should not enter or pass through the part more than the specified number of turns, usually three. If the NO GO gage enters or passes through the part more than the allowed amount, the part is too large or loose and needs to be addressed accordingly to ensure the part is meeting proper specifications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse several sets of thread ring gages and rotate them for in-process inspection, final inspection, and dispute resolution.
