Using the Go/No-Go Gauge for Standard Press Tools
The Go/No-Go Gauge (#11328.1) should be used on a regular basis to help determine if
presses made with any of the standard press tools are within HeatLink specifications.
A press that does not meet HeatLink
specifications will not fit into the GO side of the
gauge; it will also not fit into the NO-GO side
of the gauge at any point. (ie. the press may be
too large),
OR the press will fit into the NO-GO side of
the gauge; it will also fit into the GO side of the
gauge (ie. the press may be too small).
An over-press can cause stress on the fitting.
The tool may be out of calibration, but it may
also indicate a worn or damaged tool. Worn or
damaged tools must be replaced.
A press that does meet HeatLink specifications
will fit into the appropriately sized slot on the GO
side of the gauge; the GO Gauge should freely
rotate around the press sleeve at least 90°, catching
only on the high spot where the jaws met during
pressing,
AND will not fit into the NO-GO side of the gauge.
