Description
A thread gauge, also known as a screw gauge or pitch gauge, is a precision tool used to measure the pitch or distance between threads on screws, bolts, or nuts. It consists of a series of blades or teeth with standardized thread profiles that correspond to various thread sizes and pitches. Thread gauges are used to determine the pitch of a threaded fastener or to check the accuracy of threads during manufacturing or assembly processes.
