General Notes
- Air plug gauge for 0.0005 mm least count are given up to Ø 50 mm only
- Each air plug gauge requires two setting rings to set the air plug on the read out unit. The difference between the high and low setting rings supplied covers the component tolerance or the maximum range mentioned in the above table whichever is lower
- Depth collar is supplied against order for positioning air plug gauge jets to fixed depth
- The minimum bore land “F” and “G” mentioned, is excluding chamfer distance and fillet radius
- For special blind bore air plugs (super blind – G less than mentioned in the above chart) or any other special requirement (3 jet or 5 jet design to check lobing), please send the component drawing and ask for a quote

Important rule in air gauging
Lesser the clearance, higher the accuracy and vice versa
