BS 1044-1:2008

BS 1044-1:2008 specifies requirements for gauge blanks or plug, ring and calliper gauges.

Those features of design necessary to ensure interchangeability are specified in some detail, while general information on other features is included for guidance in the manufacture of these gauges.

BS 1044-1 specifies:

• General requirements for the manufacture of gauges
• Plain and screw plug gauges and setting plugs
• Solid plain and screw ring gauges and solid plain gap gauges
• Adjustable screw ring gauges.

Annexes specify types of gauges and make recommendations for adjustable plain and screw calliper gauges.

Tolerances for the plain limit gauges and screw thread gauges are specified in BS 969 and BS 919, respectively.

BS 1044-1:2008 supersedes BS 1044-1:1964, which is withdrawn.
