A Guide to Understanding Thread Plug Gauges

Image
Thread plug gauges are used in many industries to measure the diameter of threaded holes. They can be used to determine how many threads per inch (TPI) a hole has and if it is too large or small for a given application. The most common thread plug gauges are made from steel, brass and aluminium. Each of these materials has advantages and disadvantages when compared to each other. Steel gauges are more durable than brass or aluminium gauges because they don't rust as easily. Brass and aluminium gauges are often less expensive than steel but have lower tensile strength ratings. Thread Plug Gauge manufacturers use several methods for making their products. Most companies use threading machines that automate the creation of thread plugs from finished parts. These machines guarantee consistent sizes, but they could be better; there will always be some variation in size between different pieces of material. Because of this, you must choose a gauge manufacturer that uses high-quality
