FAQ
Thread Gauge Manufacturer FAQ: Common Buyer Questions
What is a GO/NO-GO thread gauge used for?
A GO/NO-GO thread gauge checks thread acceptance against the specified standard. Use the GO and NO-GO members according to the applicable inspection procedure, including its engagement limits. It supports fast pass/fail checks during production and incoming quality control; the acceptance rule depends on the thread and gauge standard.
Can GageTools make gauges to a custom drawing or standard?
Yes. We manufacture standard thread, plug, ring, pin, step and gap gauges, and can also produce custom inspection fixtures from your drawing, sample part or written specification. Send the drawing or standard, tolerance class and quantity for a quote.
Is there a minimum order quantity for gauges?
Standard catalog gauges can generally be ordered in small quantities, including single pieces for testing or replacement. Custom gauges made to a specific drawing may have a minimum order quantity depending on tooling and setup cost; this is confirmed case by case in the quote.
Do you provide calibration reports or certificates?
Yes, calibration reports with a NIST-traceable chain are available on request for applicable orders. Let us know at the RFQ stage if you need a calibration certificate, measured values or specific traceability documentation so these can be included in your quotation and shipment.
What thread standards do you support?
We manufacture gauges for Metric, UN (Unified), BSP, NPT and other custom thread standards. If your required standard is not listed, send the thread callout or drawing and we will confirm whether it can be produced.
Where is GageTools based?
GageTools is based in Dongguan, Guangdong, China. The website is operated by Dongguan Zifeng Precision Technology Co., Ltd. Our manufacturing experience dates back to 2004.
