They are manufactured in accordance with the dimensions, tolerances, and gauging practices specified in API Spec 7-2. The thread plug gages are used to check the internal threads (box) of the connection, while the thread ring gages are used to check the external threads (pin) of the connection.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTo use these gages properly, the following steps are recommended:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the threads and gages thoroughly and apply a thin film of thread compound or lubricant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsert the thread plug gage into the box and rotate it by hand until it makes contact with the thread flank.

The gage should fit over the pin smoothly and easily, without binding or jamming. The gage should not fit more than one full turn beyond the hand-tight position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the thread ring gage and inspect it for any damage or wear.
