Each thread is characterized by its major diameter and its pitch. ISO metric threads consist of symmetric V-shaped thread. In the plane of the thread axis, the flanks of the V have an angle of 60° to each other. ISO Metric Thread Prefered Size

These have a go gauge on one end and a no-go gauge on the other end. They allow you to inspect internal threads on parts. A taperlock handle lets you quickly replace worn gauges.. Check the minimum internal thread size with the go gauge end, and check the maximum internal thread size with the no-go gauge end. A part is within tolerance if it's easy to thread the go gauge into the part but

We have compiled a simple step-by-step guide to help you identify your thread type. In addition, we'll cover some of the most common port thread types including NPT/NPTF, BSPP (also known as G), BSPT, PT, Metric (M) and SAE. You'll need a couple tools on hand to make the process easier, but a straight steel ruler may work as well.

Larger holes are gauged with annular plug gauges, which are shell-constructed for light weight, and flat plug gauges, made in the form of diametrical sections of cylinders. 2. Snap Gauges. Snap gauges are the types of gauges that are used for checking external dimensions. Shafts are mainly checked by snap gauges.

Taperlock Thread Plug Gages: This gage checks the size of internal threads to ensure the threads are within its designed tolerance limits. It features GO and/or NO GO thread plug members. All taperlock thread plug gages are class X tolerance. Choose from class 2B or 3B for inch, or class 6H of fit for metric thread plugs.

These thread pitch gauges measure different screw pitch types in both standard and metric units. A screw or threaded part or fastener is checked against the leaves of the gauge until a leaf that matches the screw pitch is found. These gauges are used for woodworking and general light and heavy machining applications. Compare this product

We manufacture standard and special thread plug and thread ring gages for virtually every type of thread. American inch, metric thread gages,
