| Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Annular Plug / Setting Disc | These large plug gages (over ~8" in diameter) use an annular disc design where the internal section is cut down to reduce weight and improve handling. Setting discs have a similar design and are used to set or check micrometer or other OD gages. | ||
| End Measuring Rod | End measuring rods or micrometer standards are fixed length setting gage or standards used for checking or calibrating micrometers or other length / thickness gages. End measuring rods consist of long, ground bars manufactured to precise tolerances, and with a central insulating handle. | ||
| Gage Block | Gage blocks provide fixed length, thickness, or angle standards and are manufactured to specific flatness, parallelism, and dimensional standards. | ||
| Precision Gage Ball | Precision balls are precisely manufactured spherically shapes for gaging spherical cavities, tapered holes, or machine tool set up. | ||
| Setting Pin / Plug Gage | Pin / plug gages are production functional gages for go / no-go assessment of hole and slot dimensions or locations compared to specified tolerances. | ||
| Setting Ring Gage | Ring gages are production functional gages for go / no-go assessment compared to specified tolerances of the dimensions or attributes of pins, shafts, or threaded studs. | ||
| Other | Master gage blocks, master or setting discs, and setting rings are types of master gages used to calibrate or set micrometers, comparators, or other gaging systems. Working gages are used in the shop for dimensional inspection and periodically checked against a master gage. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| Thread Master / Standard? | Thread plug or ring gages have internal or external threads for gaging threaded parts or part features. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
| Set of Masters / Standards? | Gage sets include several gages and accessories packaged into a kit, usually in a case with adjusting tools. Tool kits sometimes contain alternate extensions and contact tips, holders, bases, or standards. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
| Units: | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| English | Gages and gaging systems are based on the English system of measurement (e.g., inches). | ||
| Metric | Gages and gaging systems are based on the metric system of measurement (e.g., centimeters, millimeters). | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||

|
| ||
| Master / Setting Gage Size: | The thickness, diameter, length or other dimension of the dimensional standard. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| Set Range: | The total length or dimensional range that the set or masters, setting gages or standards can measure. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| Set Steps / Increments: | The dimensional size increments or steps in a set of masters, setting gages, gage blocks or other dimensional standards. | ||
| Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value. | ||
| NIST Traceability | Gage can be traced to the National Institute of Technology Standards (NIST). These gages are compared to a master standard that is checked against a NIST standard. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
