Variable 3-disc indicating gages VD measure the circumferential backlash and that would be in relation to the maximum effective tolerance limit. For good measure as a result of this, the circumferential backlash measuring instruments come fully toothed. There really is no standard method to be inspecting circumferential backlash. It is actually specified in ANSI B92.1 and ISO 4156 standards as being a special method for inspection. The fully toothed no-go gauges form the actual basis for circumferential backlash. These are listed in „Alternate A“ and „Alternate B“ as being special inspection methods.
