Pitch Gauge is also known as screw or thread gauge. It is used to measure the pitch or lead of the screw thread. A Pitch gauge is a reference tool used to determine pitch of thread present on a screw or in a tapped hole. The instrument also allows the user to determine the profile of a given thread and categorize the thread by shape and pitch. It can evaluate the gradient for external and internal threads. This device is also helpful for checking the tool angle while cutting threads in metal turning lathes. It usually consists of multiple blades that can be twisted out of the tool when in use.
Thread Plug Gauges is used to check tolerances of threaded parts as per the required standard levels. Some of the benefits of using this calibration tool include proper assembly of mating parts, high-quality control, and standards conformity.
Thread Ring Gauges is used to measure the outer diameter of pins, shafts, splines, fasteners, dowels, and other machined cylindrical parts. Some of the main thread ring gauges include Go Ring Gauge, No Go Ring Gauge, Master or Set Ring Gauge.
Thread Tri-Roll Gauge provides the variable thread measurement and indicates whether the threaded part is within the specified limit. It measures the exact position of the pitch diameter within the tolerance range.
Insize - 4 to 42 TPI Metric 60 Degree and Unified 60 Degree Screw Pitch Gauge – It is a premium quality gauge with a high degree accuracy used for measuring purposes. Insize Screw Pitch Gauge is mainly made up of carbon steel material. The instrument is available in 2 forms or modes.
Mitutoyo 188 121 - 0.4-7 mm TPI, 18 Leaves Metric Screw Pitch Gauge 60 Inch – It is used to measure the pitch or lead of screw thread. It allows the user to determine the thread’s profile and categorise the thread by shape and pitch. The thread pitch size is stamped on each leaf of the Mitutoyo Screw Pitch Gauge.
Never force a gauge into or on the part that is needed to be checked.
Avoid mishandling of pitch gauge to prevent deformities that can lead to disintegrated gauge.
It is suggested to store the gauges in a secured compartment or container to safeguard the instrument.
Gauges should be dipped in an oil wax-based seal or coating to prevent rusting or corrosion problems before storing them.
