INTERNAL THREAD COMPARATOR
ITC Comparators (Internal)
The ITC measures internal threads (threaded holes) using gaging segments, set with a master setting ring. Build your system: ITC frame (100/200/300), ITC dial indicator, base, gaging segments for your thread, and a master ring.

Choosing your gaging segments
| Type | What it measures | When to choose it |
|---|---|---|
| Type 3 — Full Profile | Functional (assembly) diameter. | Pitches coarser than 48 TPI. |
| Type 4 — Cone & Vee | Pitch diameter, limited flank contact. | Pitch-diameter control across all pitches. |
ITC frames
| Frame | Capacity |
|---|---|
| ITC 100 | Smallest internal capacity |
| ITC 200 | Mid range |
| ITC 300 | Largest (up to 8") |
ITC measures internal threads (threaded holes), set with a master setting ring. See each frame's product page for exact capacity. The shared dual-frame base and mounting bar from the Tri-Roll line also fit the ITC.
ITC buying questions
When do I use an ITC?
Use the ITC to measure internal threads (threaded holes). For external threads (bolts, studs), use Tri-Roll or STC.
Plug or ring setting master?
ITC is internal, so it's zeroed with a master setting ring (not a plug). One ring per thread size.
Does the ITC share any accessories?
The dual-frame base and multiple mounting bar are shared with the Tri-Roll/STC lines. The ITC uses its own frame, dial indicator, base, and gaging segments.
Adding a new thread size?
Order gaging segments for the new size and pitch, plus a matching master setting ring. Your frame, base, and indicator are reused.
Calibration certificates & lead times?
A Long Form Certificate is available on most items, and we offer ISO 17025–accredited calibration. For lead times on made-to-order segments or rings, call 1-888-400-4243.
