I need a ring gauge, doesn't have to be a specific size I just need to know the exact size. So if I buy a 2" ring gage, I don't really care if it's exactly 2" or not, it can be 1.8293" as long as I know the exact bore diameter that's all I care about.
Now let's say I'm buying a 2" ring gauge. Is this gage going to be 2" plus or minus a certain tolerance? Or is it bored out to 2" plus/minus tolerance AND THEN inspected to get the exact diameter and labeled?
I'm assuming it's the latter, BUT I'm looking on MSC and the gages are specified as +/- .0001" or "Class L1". I'm assuming the exact diameter is within +/- .0001" of let's say 2" but are then inspected and labeled with the exact diameter such as 2.00001"?
EDIT: So for example here's a 1" ring gage (accurate to .0001"):

I'm assuming the bore could be anywhere from .9999" to 1.0001", but the exact diameter (let's say .99996") is measured and labeled as such. OR could the labeled ".99996" dimension actually be up to 1 tenth off?
