The correct way to read the gage is???
Hello everyone
Say that I have a part with a feature that is supposed to measure 0.111 +/- .001 according to the drawing.
The gage I am using to measure this has an accuracy of 0.0000
Would a reading of .1121 be acceptable? Would .1126? The argument here at work is (Eng.) the gage is capable of measuring to .0000 so we SHOULD take advantage of that and use tighter measurment. The other side (QA) says that although the gage is capable, the feature is only designed to .000 so nothing past the third decimal place should matter.
Is there any guidance out there on this?
Thanks
