Thread Ring Gauge
A thread ring gauge is a ring-shaped gauge, primarily for external threads, used to check whether these conform to the required dimension and profile.
Function:
- Comparison against a standard.
- Fast and simple to use in production and quality control.
Practical example:
An M10 thread ring gauge is slid over a screw/external thread – if it fits without play, the thread is within specification.
