Quality Assurance for Quality Casting In
the manufacture of steel castings, measuring devices, or gages, are
used to assure conformity |
|
of
the product. Casting gages are designed to be applied to the component
in a prescribed manner and to verify that certain dimensions of the
piece fall within an allowable variation or tolerance range. For railroad
castings in particular, gages have a primary role in guaranteeing the
uniformity of all manufacturers' products.Railroad cars that operate
in interchange traffic, switching from one train to another, are required
to be equipped with couplers and other draft system components, which
will reliably mate with other assembly components. Couplers and coupler
parts purchased from one manufacturer must fit and operate properly
when assembled or coupled with another manufacturer's coupler and parts.
For this reason, all couplers and yokes in interchange service today
are produced from standard specifications. The gages used to ensure
that the castings con- form to these specifications are also standard,
originally designed by the Mechanical Committee of the standard Coupler
Manufacturers (MCSCM).
