I just received some gages back from our offsite calibration provider. One particular thread plug gage was reported as: "'Go' Major Diameter is out-of tolerance, see data for values." When I looked at the report, it showed the Major Diameter as being .0012" oversized. Last year's calibration report (from the same facility) showed this same feature on this same gage measuring .0015" SMALLER. My question is this: Since a thread plug gage (in my experience) gets smaller as it wears, what would (realistically) make it get BIGGER? Just wondering...
Additional info - we have used this calibration house for several years, and I've never doubted their findings.
