What is plug gages?

Plug gauges are precision measuring tools used to check the accuracy and dimensional tolerances of holes. They typically consist of a cylindrical metal rod with one or both ends machined to specific diameters, representing the upper and lower limits of the acceptable hole size. A 'go' gauge checks the minimum hole size and should pass through a hole that is within tolerance, while a 'no-go' gauge checks the maximum hole size and should not pass through a hole that is within tolerance. They are commonly used in manufacturing and quality control to ensure that holes meet specified requirements for fit and function.
