When you are making screws and nuts it is important that a certain specification is met for making acceptable standard thread of a screw and nut which is very important for many different types of hardware industries. These tools needs to be precise and in order to measure the dimensions, calibrations, tolerance, etc. thread gauges are manufactured. There are two categories of thread gauges one is ring gage which is used for checking integrity of the internal threads and make sure they meet the exact standard required. The other is plug gauges and they are used to check tolerance of threaded parts according to standard specifications. Both of these tools are used mostly as inspections tools for several hardware.
