What sizes of gage pins would a machinist need for a dimension of 3/32 ± 1/64th inches for a go/no go gage setup (rounded to three places)?

For a go/no go gage setup regarding the dimension of 3/32 ± 1/64th inches, it's essential first to understand the range created by the specified tolerances. The nominal dimension of 3/32 inches converts to 0.09375 inches in decimal form. The tolerance of ± 1/64th inches adds and subtracts 0.015625 inches to this dimension, establishing a range.

Calculating the limits:

• The lower limit: 0.09375 - 0.015625 = 0.078125 inches

• The upper limit: 0.09375 + 0.015625 = 0.109375 inches

Thus, the range for the dimension is 0.078125 inches to 0.109375 inches. For the go gage, it should be the maximum acceptable size, which would be the upper limit rounded to three decimal places, yielding 0.110 inches. For the no-go gage, it should be the minimum acceptable size, which rounds to 0.078 inches.

Therefore, the correct sizes for the gage pins to check this dimension in a go/no go setup are 0.110 inches for the go pin and
