A Go-NoGo gauge(or Go/no go) refers to an inspection tool used to check a workpiece against its allowed tolerances. Its name derives from its use : the gauge itself has two tests; the check involves the workpiece's having to pass one test(Go) and ’fail' the other(No Go).... A Go NoGo gauge is a measuring tool that does not return a size in the conventional sense, but instead returns a state. The state is either acceptable(the part is within tolerance and may be used) or it is unacceptable(and must be rejected). 2, record 1, English, - go%2C%20no%2Dgo%20adapter

Le principe du contrôle d'une grandeur mécanique par calibre à limite est basé sur l'utilisation d'un calibre ENTRE et d'un calibre N'ENTRE PAS parfois appelés GO et NO GO. Ce contrôle ne donne pas de renseignement sur la valeur de la grandeur. En revanche, il renseigne sur le fait que la grandeur mesurée est dans la tolérance spécifiée et nécessaire pour assurer le fonctionnement d'un ensemble mécanique. C'est donc en principe un contrôle de fabrication ou même de réception mais ce n'est pas une mesure. Les calibres à limite ne sont pas des appareils mesureurs (comme un pied à coulisse par exemple). Son avantage réside dans la simplicité et la rapidité de la mesure. Elle permet un tri des pièces mais elle ne permettra pas de faire un diagnostic sur une éventuelle non-conformité. La grandeur mesurée est dite dans la tolérance si : [Le] calibre ENTRE n'interfère pas avec la grandeur, c’est-à-dire pénètre. [Le] calibre N'ENTRE PAS interfère avec la grandeur, c’est-à-dire ne pénètre pas. 3, record 1, French, - calibre%20entre%20n%27entre%20pas

The dedicated bench and fixture systems are a completely different type of measuring method. Instead of taking actual measurements, the bench acts as a "go-no go" gauge. The bench consists of a flat work surface to which fixtures are attached. Fixtures are designated from the car manufacturer's drawings to duplicate locations of the body control points used in manufacturing the suspension mountings or other key locations of the underbody. 2, record 2, English, - dedicated%20bench%20and%20fixture%20system

Marbres à systèmes de fixation et de contrôle séparés et plurivalents. [...] Dans la génération de ces marbres plus récents, les supports propres à chaque modèle de voiture n'existe plus. Les fonctions «fixation» et «contrôle» sont séparées. La fixation est assurée par serrage de mâchoires sur les rebords inférieurs des longerons, en quatre zones (de part et d'autre de 2 traverses du marbre) sous l'habitacle. Un dispositif coulissant permet l'adaptation à chaque modèle de voiture. Le contrôle est effectué en matérialisant dans l'espace les cotes relevées sur des fiches [...] et en y confrontant les points de la carrosserie correspondant à ces cotes. 2, record 2, French, - marbre%20%C3%A0%20syst%C3%A8me%20de%20fixation%20sp%C3%A9cialis%C3%A9

Malco SD40 Double 4" Siding Gauge. [Followed by an illustration. ] Use it as a scribe or square to mark or score precise lines on double 4-inch vinyl siding panels. Or go straight to cutting either rip or square cross cuts. A utility knife blade can be inserted in the precise 1/8-inch hole increments as easily as a pencil or scoring tool. 4, record 3, English, - siding%20gauge
