VÖLKEL Thread Plug Gauges M3-M12, 7-piece Set
Skip to main content Skip to search Skip to main navigation
Application

You use this 7-piece thread plug gauge set to inspect internal metric threads across the stated size range. The set format is useful when several common thread sizes have to be checked in production, maintenance, incoming goods control, or tool room work.

The decisive selection factors are internal-thread inspection, the metric size range, and whether the thread has to be checked with the correct gauge side from the set. Keep the gauges organized in the plastic case so each inspection step remains traceable by size.

Application

  • for internal metric thread inspection across the stated set range
  • for production, maintenance, and incoming goods control where several sizes are checked regularly
  • for selecting the correct plug gauge by thread size before applying the inspection logic
  • for organized gauge storage in the supplied plastic case

Note Use the set only for internal threads and select each gauge by the thread size named in the inspection plan.

Benefits

  • Seven-piece set structure supports repeated inspection of common metric internal threads.
  • Plastic case packaging keeps the gauge group organized by size.
  • Set selection reduces the need to source individual gauges for the stated range.
  • Plug-gauge format checks internal threads without adding cutting load to the component.
Drawbacks
  • The set is limited to the sizes included in the product data, so choose individual gauges for threads outside the stated range.

Step by step

  1. Identify the internal thread size from the drawing or component marking.
  2. Select the matching gauge from the case before starting the inspection.
  3. Clean the thread and the gauge contact surfaces.
  4. Apply the required GO or NO GO inspection side according to the inspection plan.
  5. Do not force the gauge if contamination, burrs, or mismatch are present.
  6. Record the result according to your quality or workshop process.
  7. Return the gauge to the correct case position after inspection.
