  7. Thread pitch gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_pitch_gauge

    A thread gauge, [1] also known as a screw gauge [2] or pitch gauge, [3] is used to measure the pitch or lead of a screw thread. Thread pitch gauges are used as a reference tool in determining the pitch of a thread that is on a screw or in a tapped hole. This tool is not used as a precision measuring instrument, rather it allows the user to ...
