Difference between machining and inspection (WP/IP vs. WR/IR)

Difference between machining and inspection (WP/IP vs. WR/IR)

Category : 

Answer

Both are GO NO side screw gauges, but there is a difference in tolerance.
It is recommended to use machine work (WP / WR) at the processing site, and use inspection (IP / IR) for final inspection and acceptance between companies.
 
The machine is set a little stricter than the inspection one, and it is difficult to pass.
* P: Plug gauge (for internal thread) R: Ring gauge (for external thread)
 
[Items with a distinction between inspection and machine work] Former JIS metric screws (Class 1,Class 2,Class 3), unified screws, etc.
 
GP (GO Side Plug Gauge)
* No distinction

WP (GO NO-side plug gauge for work)
* It is harder to pass than IP.

IP (GO NO-side plug gauge for inspection)
* Easier to pass than WP


 

[There is no distinction between inspection and work] Current JIS metric screws (5H, 6H, 7H, etc.)
