Confirm that external pipe threads are sized within tolerance. Manufactured with precision, these gauges meet tight thread tolerances themselves.
Use gauges with NPSM and BSPP threads in pairs for go/no-go tests. Go gauges check the maximum external thread size, and no-go gauges check the minimum. If the threads you’re testing thread into the go gauge but not the no-go gauge, they’re within tolerance.
