High-Precision Plain Plug Gauges & Ring Gauges | Custom ISO/ANSI Standard Measuring Tools

What is a plain gauge?

Mihe Precision manufactures high-precision Plain Gauges, including Plug Gauges and Ring Gauges. These are essential reference tools in mechanical machining used to verify whether hole and shaft dimensions meet “GO” and “NO-GO” tolerances.

We apply a sub-zero treatment process to ensure the dimensional stability of the material and prevent micron-level deformation during long-term use. Whether used for rapid inspection in mass production or as reference calibration in laboratories, Mihe gauges deliver sub-micron repeatability, ensuring that every finished product meets strict industry tolerance standards.

Excellent Material Hardness and Wear Resistance

We offer options in zirconia ceramic (ZrO₂) and tungsten carbide. The ceramic material features rust-free performance, no need for anti-rust oil maintenance, and a coefficient of thermal expansion close to that of steel. Its service life is 5–10 times longer than that of standard tool steel gauges, significantly reducing long-term procurement costs.

20°C Constant-Temperature Machining and Ultra-Precision Grinding

Relying on inspection equipment from Feinmess Jena (Germany) and TESA (Switzerland), all plain gauges undergo final grinding in a constant-temperature environment. The surface roughness can reach Ra 0.05 μm or below, delivering a mirror-like finish. This ensures minimal insertion resistance when the gauge enters the hole, providing an exceptionally precise and smooth measuring feel.

Comprehensive Customization Services

In addition to ISO, DIN, JIS, and ANSI standard specifications, we specialize in custom non-standard dimensions based on customer drawings, such as special-length gauges, grooved plug gauges, and step gauges. We also provide a 1-year quality warranty and support third-party certification services.

FAQ About Plain Gauges

Zirconia ceramic offers extremely high hardness and excellent chemical stability. It does not corrode from hand sweat and provides significantly superior wear resistance compared to steel. In high-frequency inspection applications, ceramic gauges maintain dimensional accuracy for a much longer period, reducing the risk of false inspection results caused by gauge wear.

All our gauges are calibrated using TESA length measuring instruments from Switzerland. Each product is delivered with a Factory Inspection Report, and our manufacturing process complies with ISO 9001 standards. The measurement results are fully traceable to international standards.
