Answer
Plain limit gauge is a common name for a plug-shaped cylindrical gauge.
Also known as a plain gauge, it is used to check the accuracy of the hole and the inner diameter and pilot diameter of the internal thread.
Both GO and NO GO sides are passed, which ensures the accuracy of the hole and the inner diameter.
Accuracy cannot be guaranteed if only one is inspected.
In addition, the plain gauge for holes and the plain gauge for the inner diameter of the internal thread are separate products with different applications.

| GO Side |  |
NO GO side |
|---|---|---|
| If it passes, it passes. If you go through it, you can see that the hole is larger than the gauge dimensions. |
If it stops, it passes. |
* The definition of "stop" in NO GO gauge differs depending on the type of gauge. Please refer to the list of how to use each type of plug gauge below.
