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 2, 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 2, French, - calibre%20entre%20n%26rsquo%3Bentre%20pas

The manufacturing tolerance and allowance permitted distinguishes one class of thread from another under the unified thread system. Because allowance is an intentional difference between correlated size dimensions of mating threads, and tolerance is the difference between limits of size, a thread class may be considered to control the looseness or tightness between mating threaded parts. The American National standard for unified and National screw threads provides classes 1A, 2A, and 3A for external threads, classes 1B, 2B, and 3B for internal threads, and classes 2 and 3 for both internal and external threads. Classes 1A and 1B are for ordnance and other special uses. Classes 2A and 2B are the recognized standards for the bulk of screw-thread work and for the normal production of threads on screws, bolts, and nuts. Classes 3A and 3B are for applications where smaller tolerances than those afforded by 2A and 2B are justified .... 1, record 3, English, - 1A
