A thread ring gauge is a precision measurement tool used to inspect the external threads of a cylindrical object, such as bolts and screws. It helps determine if the threads conform to specified tolerances and standards, ensuring proper fit and function in assembly applications. By providing a quick means of verification, it aids in maintaining quality control in manufacturing processes.
There are many different thread forms in use today. The most common are; BPV thread API thread profile gauge Thread profile gauge API 5b thread gauges API thread gauges Pipe thread gauges API Thread Gauge Manufacturer & Supplier Ring gauge use Pipe threader Acme thread Feeler gauge set Ring gauge set threaded pipe plug step gauge NPT thread gauge Tapered pipe thread
A thread plug gauge and a thread ring gauge, although designed for the same nominal size, serve different purposes and have different tolerances. The plug gauge is used to check internal threads, while the ring gauge checks external threads. Differences in manufacturing tolerances, lead angles, and thread profiles can cause a plug gauge to fit into a ring gauge even if they are both rated for the same size, leading to discrepancies in fit. Additionally, wear and deformation over time can affect how well the gauges interact.
Use a thread gauge to find the number of threads on a bolt. A thread gauge is several comb-like plates, each plate is marked with the number of threads the gauge fits. Search the internet using thread gauge for examples of what thread gauges look like.
To read thread size accurately, use a thread pitch gauge to measure the distance between threads. Match the gauge to the threads on the fastener to determine the size. Additionally, use a thread pitch chart to cross-reference the measurements for accuracy.
To determine the size of a thread, you can use a thread gauge tool or a caliper to measure the diameter of the thread. The size is typically expressed in terms of the thread's pitch and diameter, which can help you identify the thread size.

A thread gauge is a tool used for identifying the particular thread on a bolt or screw. The gauge will have several blades with saw like teeth of different sizes. You match a particular gauge to the thread which will then tell you what size thread it is. gauges come in various pitches to match different screw threads. UNF, UNC, Whitworth, Metric etc. Each has a different pitch angle and thread per inch or millimetre.An image of a thread gauge can be seen HERE
what does a standard thread gauge measure
You could just use a ruler with mm markings and measure it. You can use google to find conversion charts from mm-gauge.
Google search for "18 gauge tongue ring"!
i believe its a 18 gauge or 16 gauge.
