A "screw pitch gauge" is used to measure screw pitch. Typically, the gauge has a number of indented templates for each standard pitch. Matching a particular template to the screw or nut gives the pitch.

You can also use a measuring device (ruler, micrometer, etc.) to measure a group of threads and then "do the math" to estimate pitch. Accuracy depends on your ability to accurately measure length and count threads.

What is screw thread?

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.
