Go/No-Go Threaded Plug Gauges with Handle

Speed up thread tolerance checks—the handle on these gauges gives you a good grip to quickly thread and unthread go or no-go gauges. Use these gauges to make sure nuts, tapped holes, and other parts fall within tolerance. All are precisely manufactured to confirm thread fit. If the plug gauges wear down, you can insert new ones (not included) onto the taperlock handle.

A part is within tolerance if it’s easy to thread the go gauge into the part but difficult to thread the no-go gauge more than two turns.

Go/no-go gauges have both a go gauge on one end of the handle and a no-go gauge on the other to speed up tests. Go gauges check the minimum internal thread size. No-go gauges check the maximum internal thread size.

Double-Ended Taperlock

Handle

Accuracy Certificate Traceable to NIST—Gauges with an accuracy certificate traceable to NIST include verification from the manufacturer that their thread sizes are within tolerance. The certificate is also known as a certificate of compliance or a short-form certification.

Calibration Certificate Traceable to NIST—Gauges with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST were calibrated in a lab. The certificate, sometimes called a test report or long-form certificate, details the tested measurements.

For Metric Class 6H Thread Fit—These metric-threaded gauges are class 6H, which is comparable to the fit of those with Class 2B Unified Standard.

For Thread Fit—Thread fit designates the tightness or looseness of mating threads.

Threaded Plug Gauges

Test if internal threads fall within tolerance. These plug gauges are often used in nuts and tapped holes to confirm thread fit. For precision and accuracy, they’re manufactured to tight tolerances.

Threads are within tolerance if it’s easy to thread a go gauge but difficult to thread a no-go gauge more than two turns.

Class X Gauge

Go Gauge—Go gauges check the minimum hole diameter.

No-Go Gauge—No-go gauges check the maximum hole diameter.

For Metric Class 6H Thread Fit—For metric threads, the higher the class number, the looser the fit. Class 6H is the metric standard and works for most applications.

For Thread Fit—Thread fit designates the tightness or looseness of mating threads.

Go/No-Go Left-Hand Threaded Plug Gauges with Handle

A go and no-go gauge in one, these gauges check that left-hand threads fall within tolerance. Use them to confirm thread fit for nuts, tapped holes, and other parts. The taperlock handle speeds up tests, giving you a good grip to thread and unthread each gauge end. It also lets you swap out worn gauges for new ones (not included) on either end.

The go gauge checks the minimum internal thread size, and the no-go gauge checks the maximum. A part is within tolerance if it’s easy to thread the go gauge but difficult to thread the no-go gauge more than two turns.
