A limit gauge is an inspection device to check whether the threads and female threads are properly formed. There are two main types of gauges: those that must pass through to the end and those that must not. Since there are various types, sizes, and accuracies of screws, it is necessary to prepare each gauge that matches the object to be inspected.

When the threads are made in parallel, as is the case with metric threads for general use, which we see relatively often, they have the following shape.

Gauges for male threads have a ring shape with a female thread cut on the inside diameter side. Gauges that must pass through to the end have a larger inside diameter standard, while those that must not pass through have a smaller inside diameter standard. Therefore, if the outside diameter of the screw (bolt, etc.) to be inspected is larger than the appropriate size, it will not pass through the gauges that it must pass through, and if it is smaller, it will pass through the gauges that it must not pass through to the end.

Gauges for female threads are rod-shaped with a thread cut on the outside diameter of the tip. The gauges that must pass through to the end have a smaller O.D. standard, while those that must not pass through have a more significant O.D. standard. Therefore, if the threaded hole (tapped hole) to be inspected is larger than the proper size, the gauge that must not pass through will pass through to the end, and if it is smaller, the gauge must pass through to the end and will not pass through.

Each gauge has an appropriate stopping position for taper threads, which can be inspected and confirmed in the same way as for general metric threads.
