How to choose high quality thread gauges

When choosing high – quality thread gauges, you can consider the following points:

Accuracy

● Look for gauges with high – precision manufacturing. Thread gauges with a small tolerance range can provide more accurate measurement results. For example, in the manufacturing of precision mechanical parts, the tolerance of thread gauges may need to be within a few micrometers to ensure the proper fit of threaded components. For examples, choose 3A ring gauge is better than 1A ring gauge.

Material Quality

● High – quality materials such as hardened steel are often used. These materials have good wear – resistance and can maintain the accuracy of the gauge over a long period of time. A well – made hardened – steel thread gauge can withstand frequent use and abrasion during the inspection process.

Brand and Reputation

● Opt for products from well – known brands. Brands with a good reputation usually have strict quality control systems in place during the manufacturing process.for example, gaugestools is a famous brand in the world for thread gauges and taps. They also often have better after – sales service. gaugestools in the metrology industry have been recognized for their reliable and accurate measurement tools over many years.

Certification and Standards Compliance

● Ensure that the thread gauge complies with relevant international or national standards such as ISO standards. Gauges that meet these standards have been tested and verified to have reliable performance. This compliance gives you confidence in the accuracy and usability of the gauge in different measurement applications.

Some Tr thread ring and plug gauges

We produced some TR ring and plug gauges these days

– Tr16×2 7H thread plug gauge GO&NOGO LH       1 pc
– Tr16 x 2 7e thread ring gauge GO&NOGO RH      1 pc
– Tr16 x 2 7e thread ring gauge GO&NOGO LH      1 pc
These gauges were exported to Serbia, we finished these gauges taking two weeks’ time.

Can I use a UNJF gauge to check a UNF external

One client asked: Can I use a UNJF gauge to check a UNF external?

gaugestools’ answer is : NO, you can’t. UNJF thread is far different with UNF thread.

UNJ thread mainly used in aeroplane and spacecraft industry. “UNJ” the UN means United Inch thread, “J” means rounded root of external thread. UNJ thread greatly improve the Anti fatigue strength.

UNF thread is UNIFIED  NATIONAL FINE thread with 60 degree thread angle. The root is flat. but UNJ is rounded root.

So client’t can’t use a UNJF gauge to cehck a UNF external threads

Left hand thread gauges

If clients need left hand thread gages, it need to be made by custom production. we don’t have left hand gauges in stock. so Left hand gages can’t be ordered online.

Any clients need left hand thread gauges, please tell us by livechat or mail. we will send you quotation according to your requirements.
