Question 5
In a GO/NO GO gage, which one of the following best describes the function of the GO
gage:
checks the limit of maximum tolerance
checks the maximum material condition
checks the maximum size
checks the minimum material condition

The GO gage is designed to check whether a part’s dimensions are within the allowable limits, specifically ensuring that the part is not too small. If the part fits into the GO gage, it confirms that the minimum material condition is met, indicating the part is acceptable for use. Think of it as the gage giving a big thumbs up!

On the flip side, the NO GO gage serves as the boundary check, ensuring that parts don’t exceed maximum allowable dimensions. It’s a critical tool in quality control, helping manufacturers maintain consistency and compliance in their production processes. Without it, you might find yourself facing unexpected fit issues down the line!
