The thread gauges are also known as pitch gauges or screw gauges. These gauges are primarily used in the measurement of the dimensions of the specific thread in terms of pitch, angle, and diameter. The thread plug gauges are utilized for checking internal threads whereas thread ring gauges are used to check the external threads. Each gauge is basically made of 2 components: GO gauge and NO GO gauge. Both must be utilized for checking the thread.

To determine whether the pitch of thread is on tapped hole or screw you need a thread pitch gauge. This tool helps in categorizing the instruments according to its pitch and shape but it does not provide any accurate measurements. This tool also helps in saving time, in the sense that it removes the requirement for the user to calculate and measure the pitch associated with threaded jam. 

High quality UNC thread gauge from Gaugestools

The Unified National Coarse Thread also known as UNC thread is generally used for thread fasteners with high volume production. It is a series that is mostly used for manufacturing of bulk instruments such as screws, nuts, bolts, and other types of general engineering applications. In order to obtain optimum resistance to the stripping of internal thread of lower tensile strength, materials like mild steel, cast iron, and the softer materials like brass, bronze, magnesium, plastics are used in UNC thread gauges. In addition to that another amazing feature of this tool is it can be used for disassembly or rapid assembly or when there is slight damage or corrosion is possible. 

At Gaugestools there is GO and NOGO right hand and left hand UNC thread gauges that are available. The company has multiple products in various different standard sizes ready to be shipped and these are listed on the official website. These UNC ring and plug gauges sold by the Gaugestools have amazing features which includes high quality material of oil hardened tool steel, called Gcr15 that has high level of wear resistance. The hardness is 58-62 HRC. The thread plug gauges are taper-lock double ends having one handle and the ring gauges are solid. 

Usually ring gauges require to set a plug gauge for testing them in advance, but these measuring instruments provided by Gaugestools does not need such process and can be directly utilized. One of the benefits of taper-lock style is when one side does not work it can be replaced easily rather than replacing whole gage. The end as well as the handle which are in good condition can be utilized again. All of the gauges are brand new and in pristine condition. The company is certified by ISO9001 manufacturer certification which guarantees adherence to required standards and protocols.

Gaugestools understands the significance of controlling temperature as well as humidity when the gages are tested and thus the temperature will be around 20 degree with a variation of plus or minus 0.5 and the humidity will be usually around 45%-65%.
