Explanation: 

Slip gauges:

  • Slip gauges are very precisely manufactured for measuring, setting up of sizes and also to calibrate precision measuring instruments or inspection gauges.
  • They can be used to measure tolerances in the range of 0.001 to 0.0005 mm very accurately. With the slip gauges, we can measure a finer tolerance limit.
  • Therefore, slip gauges are used for checking the accuracy of the limit gauge.

Feeler gauges:

  • A feeler gauge is a tool used to measure gap widths.
  • Feeler gauges are mostly used in engineering to measure the clearance between two parts like spark plug gaps, bearing clearance, the gap between the mating parts, etc.  
  • They consist of a number of small lengths of steel of different thicknesses with measurements marked on each piece.

Ring gauges:

  • Ring Gages also referred to as Plain Cylindrical Ring Gauges.
  • They are used to check the outside diameter limit on manufactured parts.
  • When they are used to check a part directly, the cylindrical ring gages are referred to as GO and NOGO.
  • The GO ring gauge checks the upper limit of the part tolerance while the NOGO ring gauge checks the lower limit.

​Plug gauge:

  • A plug gauge is a cylindrical type of gauge, used to check the accuracy of holes.
  • They are used to check the inside diameter limit on manufactured parts.
  • The GO plug gauge checks the lower limit of the part tolerance while the NOGO plug gauge checks the upper limit.
