ABSTRACT
Graphical inspection techniques are an easy way to verify part compliance with complicated geometric tolerances. They are capable of analyzing data collected in a visual manner that shows pattern drift and allows correction of manufacturing procedures before parts in a run violate tolerance zones. They are a cost-effective substitute for expensive functional gaging and can be used to augment other types of gaging. In this unit, step-by-step procedures are given to create paper gages and gaging report formats are suggested for variable data analysis.
