Internal and External Thread Inspection

Internal thread inspection and External Thread Inspection Gages.

  • PITCH (MINIMUM MATERIAL) DIAMETER
  • TAPER AND OVALITY
  • INCLUDED ANGLE
  • UNEQUAL HALF-ANGLES
  • MINOR DIAMETER
  • MAJOR DIAMETER Concentricity between major and PD is checked by using inserts “C” and “J”. Major Diameter size, roundness and taper are checked by a pair of “C” inserts.
  • FUNCTIONAL (MAXIMUM) MATERIAL DIAMETER

 

PITCH (MINIMUM MATERIAL) DIAMETER
Upper & lower fingers have tungsten carbide balls of “Best Wire Size”, and give a reading which excludes lead error but not angular errors. PD fingers can be used for right or left hand threads.

FUNCTIONAL (MAXIMUM MATERIAL) DIAMETER
Paired fingers “L” are helically ground for a single PD, pitch/lead combination which will measure the net effect of   “all errors”.

The pitch diameter fingers contain the "best size wire balls" for the pitch they are made . The  location of the balls are also dictated by the threads per inch.   The smallest thread size  diameter we manufacture is a #10 (.190).....................the body of the fingers are too thin otherwise

THE GAGE FRAME REPEATS WITHIN .000050 INCHES

THE ACCURACY DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU SET IT WITH AND THE ENVIRONMENT IT IS USED.   SETTING CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH CALIPERS, MICROMETER, GAGE BLIOCKS, OR A PLAIN CYLINDRICAL RING GAGE (CLASS
USERS CHOICE FOR ACCURACY) THE BALLS IN THE FINGERS ARE TUNGSTEN CARBIDE, GRADE 10.
THE BOTTOM FINGER BALLS FLOAT AXIALY TO ELIMINATE AN ERROR CAUSED BY THE LEAD OF THE THREAD
