This is a tool that is used to measure the pitch diameter of a screw. This tool looks like a standard micrometer except that the anvils are specially configured to reach into the screw thread groove and touch the pitch diameter of the screw thread. The screw thread micrometer does not measure any other aspect of the screw thread. It does not measure the: pitch; threads-per-inch; major diameter; minor diameter; flank angles; lead; helix angle.

It means that there is .5mm from a particular spot on one thread to the corresponding spot on the next thread
the pitch of a coil referes to the angle or degree at which the coils slant. in example you will have a different pitch in the thread of metric and imperial screws. also rough and fine thread. hope that helped
least count of a micrometer= pitch/no of division on the circular scale
First calibrate the micrometer by dialing the spindle to zero and adjusting the anvil until it is flush against the spindle. Measure the screw until the ratchet begins to click and take the first reading. This reading can then be compared to a machining book to verify the pitch diameter.
It depends on the screw thread pitch (or "lead") in the heart of the micrometer. Typically, screw pitches in common hand-held micrometers are 40 per inch in an Imperial micrometer or 2 per millimetre in a Metric micrometer. Thus, one full turn of the thimble of an Imperial micrometer is 1/40th of an inch (25 thousandths of an inch or "25 thou") and similarly, one full turn of the thimble of a Metric micrometer is 1/2 a millimetre (500 micrometres).
The pitch is the axial distance between threads, and the distance the thread moves with a 360 degree revolution. So if the pitch of a screw is 1mm, one revolution will move it 1mm farther down.
pitch /no of divisions of micrometer barrel
pitch = 1/Threads per Inch So for a 1/2 - 20 thread the pitch is .1
A pitch of three means three threads per inch so, one thread every .333 inches.
A thread guide is a tool to measure the number and pitch of threads on a bolt
