What are Plug Gages?
A plug gauge is a gage that is used to check the size of a drilled hole. They can be used to check the hole for a GO or NOGO determination, to be sure that your drilled holes are meeting your design tolerances. Taperlock, Trilock, Reversible and Cylindrical Taper are all types of a plug gauge. Each type of plug gauge can be used for different kinds of drilled holes that might be created and each has its own features and purpose. Plug gages are well suited for use in the production area of the factory as they require little skill or interpretation to use effectively and have few, if any, moving parts to be damaged in the often hostile production environment.
What is a Bore Gage?
The difference between a plug gages and a bore gage is that a plug gage tells you if a drilled hole is accurate to a specific predetermined size and a bore gage measures the dimensions of the drilled hole. A bore gage can also measure variances in the diameter throughout the entire depth of the drilled hole.
What does a Plug Gauge Do?
A plug gauge is designed to make sure your drilled holes are the correct size. This is essential in situations where parts have to be made to fit together so that the hole is the correct size to accept the part that must fit into it
What does a Bore Gage Do?
A bore gage is used to measure a bore's size and dimensions by transferring the internal proportions to a remote measuring tool.
