In the paper, history, present state and perspectives of air gauging are presented. The dimensional measurement with pressured air is known for almost 100 years. Its rapid development has taken place mostly in the years of the World War II, and during the next three decades many research papers have been published throughout the World. Some decline in the industrial application of the air gauges took place at the end of 20th century, but nowadays many enterprises rediscover merits of the air operated dimensional measurement.
