2008 12 16 nbsp 0183 32 The key to any measurement of gage variation is to use a calibration gage and tools that have proper geometric contacts Both need to be accurate and sensitive enough to do the thread calibration For example

2020 5 1 nbsp 0183 32 Plain Threaded Plugs On a straight threaded plug gage the two most common checks that need to be certified are the plug gage major

2021 10 14 nbsp 0183 32 A qualified calibration lab can perform that procedure for you if the need arises A somewhat easier method for checking parallelism requires the use of a gage ball Any diameter under 1 quot will do Close the micrometer onto the gage ball and take the reading Do this in 5 different places on the surface of the anvils

2021 6 24 nbsp 0183 32 All threads regardless of method must conform to the same criteria The same gage will check threads made from any method HISTORY Prior to 1957 the only US Govt published and recognized product and gage thread dimensions and tolerances was the American National Series also known as the National Series Because of problems
