Product Thread Inspection
Attributes Gaging (Fixed Limit) Attributes Inspection is a non-quantitative type of inspection whose only possible outcome is either accept or reject. Attributes Inspection is gaging at the limits of tolerance. In the world of Screw Threads, Go and No Go Ring and Plug Gages are the most common type of Attributes Inspection. Attributes Inspection is non generally recommended for SPC. , it cannot measure actual Pitch Diameter.
Thread Gages Are Used To:
Assures Assembly of Mating Parts Inspect Pitch Diameter and the Functional Thread Pass or Fail Product Threads
Thread Gages Are Not:
Thread Chasers, Taps, Dies or Other Cutting Tools Hammers Die or Tap Clean Out Tools Intended to Measure Actual Size
Thread Gages Types
Taper-lock Work Plugs (Standard) Reversible Work Plugs (When Specified) STI Taper-lock Work Plugs (When Specified) Ring Gages Setting Plugs Gages Pipe Plug Gages Pipe Ring Gages
Thread Form
Thread Nomenclature Pitch Diameter - located equidistantly between the sharp major & minor cylinders. Major Diameter - is an imaginary cylinder that would bound the crests of an external thread or the roots of an internal thread. Minor Diameter - is an imaginary cylinder that would bound the roots of an external straight thread or the crests an internal thread.
Ref.: ANSI/ASME B1.7M
Thread Nomenclature (Layman's Terms)
Pitch Diameter - is the halfway point between the sharp thread crest & root.
Major Diameter - is the largest diameter of a thread. Minor Diameter - is the smallest diameter of a thread.

Custom Gages Built to Your Specifications Developed from Your Part Drawings Designed to Meet Your Specific Needs Drawings May Be Supplied, if Required. (All Created Drawings Require Your Approval!)
Remember!!! Set Plug Gages are Only Intended to Inspect Ring Gages. They are Not Used to Inspect Product Threads! Set Plug Gages Have the Same Pitch Diameters as the Rings They Set, (Go PD Larger than NG PD).

Remember!!! Never force a Gage into or on a Part Being Check Handle gages as you would any precision tool, misuse or mishandling can result in nicks or other deformities which can destroy the integrity of the gage. Store gages in a secure location, preferably in individual compartments or containers. Gages should be dipped in an oilwax based seal or coated with a rust preventive prior to storing Ship gages packed separately, coated with rust preventive, with sufficient packing material to avoid damage.
