About Screw Pitch Gauge/ Thread Gauge
A Screw Pitch Gauge also known as Thread Gauge is a precision measuring instrument used to determine the pitch or lead of a screw thread. It consists of a set of finely crafted steel blades (leaves), each with serrated profiles corresponding to standard thread pitches. The blades are pivoted together in a compact holder for easy selection and use.
This tool is widely used in workshops, tool rooms, and inspection departments for checking thread accuracy, identifying thread pitch, and ensuring proper fit during machining or assembly. Available in Metric and Inch (Whitworth/BSW, UNC/UNF, etc.) standards, screw pitch gauges are essential for machinists, engineers, and mechanics.
Three types of Thread Gauge are:
- Inches
- Metric
- Combined

FAQ's of Screw Pitch Gauge/ Thread Gauge:
Q: How is a screw pitch gauge used in practical applications?
A: To use a screw pitch gauge, simply select the appropriate blade matching the thread and place it against the screw or bolt. This helps accurately determine the pitch and ensure compatibility during manufacturing, repairs, or inspection processes.
Q: What benefits does a laboratory-grade screw pitch gauge offer?
A: A laboratory-grade screw pitch gauge provides heightened measurement accuracy (99% mm/m), making it indispensable for tasks requiring precise thread identification. Its robust material and exact calibration enhance reliability and minimize rework or mismatched threads.
Q: When should I use a screw pitch gauge in the manufacturing process?
A: A screw pitch gauge should be used during quality assurance checks, threading, machining, or any point where accurate screw or bolt pitch identification is critical. Its use prevents mismatches and supports proper component assembly.
Q: Where are these screw pitch gauges typically manufactured and exported from?
A: Our screw pitch gauges are manufactured, supplied, and exported from India. As a recognized exporter, manufacturer, supplier, and trader, we deliver these precision tools both to the domestic market and internationally.
Q: What materials are your screw pitch gauges made from, and why?
A: We fabricate our gauges from steel and stainless steel due to their exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and durability. This ensures longevity and consistent performance even under demanding industrial conditions.
Q: What is the process for determining screw thread pitch with this gauge?
A: To determine thread pitch, unfold the gauge's blades, select one that matches the thread profile, and seat it in the thread. If the blade fits perfectly, the pitch corresponds to the measurement marked on that blade.
