British Thread Plug Gage Applications
by WESTport Corporation
British thread plug gauges are precision measuring tools used to measure the accuracy of threaded holes or bolts with British Standard Pipe (BSP) threads. BSP threads are commonly used in the United Kingdom and other countries that follow British standards. British thread plug gauges are an essential tool for ensuring the accuracy of these threaded components.
British thread plug gauges consist of a set of precision pins that are designed to fit into the threaded hole or bolt. The pins are arranged in a specific pattern that corresponds to the shape of the BSP thread. The gauge is used to measure the distance between the pins, which is used to determine the accuracy of the thread.
British thread plug gauges are used in a variety of applications, including:
1. Manufacturing
British thread plug gauges are used in the manufacturing process to ensure that threaded holes or bolts with BSP threads are produced to the correct specifications. The gauge is used to measure the accuracy of the thread during the production process, ensuring that the final product meets the required standards.
2. Quality control
They are used in quality control to ensure that threaded holes or bolts with BSP threads meet the required standards. The gauge is used to measure the accuracy of the thread, and any deviations from the required specifications can be identified and corrected.
3. Maintenance
British thread plug gauges are also used in maintenance to ensure that threaded holes or bolts with BSP threads are still within the required specifications. The gauge is used to measure the accuracy of the thread, and any deviations from the required specifications can be identified and corrected.
In addition to measuring the accuracy of threaded holes or bolts with BSP threads, British thread plug gauges can also be used to measure the wear on these components. Over time, threaded holes or bolts with BSP threads can wear down, leading to inaccuracies in the thread. A British thread plug gauge can be used to measure the wear on the thread, allowing for corrective action to be taken before the component fails.
In conclusion, British thread plug gauges are precision measuring tools used to measure the accuracy of threaded holes or bolts with BSP threads. They are an essential tool in manufacturing, quality control, and maintenance, ensuring that these components meet the required specifications. They can also be used to measure the wear on these components, allowing for corrective action to be taken before the component fails. If you work with threaded holes or bolts with BSP threads, a British thread plug gauge is an essential tool to have in your arsenal.

Cylindrical Taper Ring Gages
by WESTport Corporation
Introduction
Cylindrical Taper Ring Gages for a multitude of tapers are available at WESTport. They are available in Jarno tapers, Morse tapers, National Machine tapers, and Brown and Sharp tapers.
Our equipment is specifically modified for measuring and grinding a taper. The tapers are designed with or without tangs. The diameter tolerances are minus for rings and plus for plug gages. They are the most economical way of checking tapered outside and inside diameters.
Cylindrical Taper Ring Gages at WESTport
The Cylindrical Taper Ring Gages are manufactured to the high end of the ANSI specifications to provide maximum accuracy and wearability. The ANSI standard on Machine Tapers can be a bit confusing to users. If you end up ordering a taper ring and a taper plug gage, they will not match each other, therefore, all machine tapers are specifically mentioned. The correct procedure for ordering is to order a plug to the standard and a "check ring" to check the plug for wear, and vice versa the ring to the plug.
These gages are a fast, accurate and economical way to check parts. WESTport’s licensed metrology laboratory also provides ISO 17025 calibration services for all of your plug and ring gages and any other measuring or test instruments that require certification. Contact us at 1-888-400-4243 (USA and Canada) or 1-631-321-0160 (International) with any questions or for a free quote.

Unified Miniature Screw Thread Gages
by WESTport Corporation
Introduction
Different applications need a wide range of equipment to assure quality, precision, and reliability of measurements. Unified Miniature Screw Thread Plug and Ring Gages are specific gadgets used in watches, instruments, and miniature mechanisms. WESTport Gage offers a complete line of Unified Miniature Screw Thread Plug Gages in accordance with American Standard B1.10M 2004 and the appropriate ISO Recommendation.

Unified Miniature Screw Thread Gages
Threaded plug gages are used to verify and examine internal threads by striving to match the No-Go and Go gauge components to the threaded portion. If the attachment moves freely on the gage without any binding, the person understands it is within the predefined tolerance limit. Unless otherwise specified, all gages are right-handed and labelled with nominal maximum size and gauge class.
WESTport Gage offers a comprehensive line of Unified Miniature Screw Thread Plug Gages in accordance with American Standard B1.10M 2004 and the corresponding ISO Standard. The UNM Series is another name for this thread classification. In this series, the threads are compatible with the standardisation programs of the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the ISO. The Unified Miniature Screw Thread Plug Gages are designed to be used in miniature mechanisms such as instruments and watches. The series, which substitutes the Unified and American thread series, has a diameter spectrum of .30mm to 1.40mm (.0118".0551"). WESTport also produces UNM Unified Miniature Screw Thread Plug Gages forming taps. WESTport's engineering team can help you choose the right cutting tools and miniature gauge for all applications relevant to UNM thread.
Miniature threaded plug gages have been used to verify and test inner inch threads in Unified thread specifications such as UNF, UNC, and others. Individual NoGo or Go gauge members, as well as assemblages with one or two gauge members with a handle, are supplied.
The Purpose of Unified Miniature Screw Thread Gages
A thread gauge is a measuring device used to measure the dimensions of a thread, such as the diameter, pitch, and angle. Internal threads are checked with plug gages, whereas exterior threads are checked with ring gages. Each gauge is divided into two sections: a GO gauge and a NO GO gauge. To verify the thread, both components should be utilised.
The Thread Measuring System measures pitch diameter precisely and confirms that the thread plug gauge is well within range. The optimum thread plug gauging technique employs different pairs of thread plug gages. One or two gages can be utilized for in-process inspection, another for final inspection, and a primary thread plug gauge preserved for dispute if gages fail to correspond on approval or denial.
Conclusion
Since 1989, the WESTport team has been providing excellent quality Unified Miniature Screw Thread Gages all around the world. We are devoted to consistently improve our goods, processes, and services in order to preserve our reputation as a dominant force in our market by putting our customers' interests first.
