Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a thread gauge?A thread gauge is a precision measuring tool used to determine the size and pitch of threaded fasteners. It features various sized protrusions or gaps that match standard thread patterns, allowing you to quickly identify both imperial (inch) and metric thread specifications by finding the perfect fit.
What is a rivet gauge?A rivet gauge is a specialized measurement tool designed to determine the proper rivet size, grip length, and hole diameter for riveting applications. It helps ensure you select the correct rivet specifications for your material thickness and application requirements.
What is a fastener gauge?A fastener gauge is a comprehensive measurement tool that helps identify various fastener specifications including diameter, length, and thread pitch. These gauges often combine multiple measurement functions, allowing you to verify both bolts and nuts in standard and metric sizes.
What are thread pitch gauges used for?Thread pitch gauges measure the distance between thread peaks on screws, bolts, and nuts. They're essential for matching thread patterns when replacing fasteners or determining the correct mating components. The gauge's teeth are precisely machined to match standard thread pitches for accurate identification.
What is the difference between standard and metric thread gauges?Standard (inch) gauges measure threads using imperial measurements, typically in fractions of an inch, while metric gauges use millimeter measurements. Many modern gauges combine both systems, allowing you to measure any fastener regardless of its origin.
What is an ISO thread gauge?An ISO thread gauge is specifically designed to measure standardized pipe threads that conform to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) specifications. These gauges are essential for working with pipe fittings and ensuring proper thread engagement in plumbing and industrial applications.
How do I use a thread gauge?To use a thread gauge, carefully match the gauge's teeth against the threads of your fastener. Try different sizes until you find one that fits perfectly - with no rocking or gaps. The size marked on the matching gauge is your thread specification. For best results, check both thread pitch and diameter.
