Thread ring gauge UNC GO, 7/16‑14, hardened gauge steel (Metav IndustryLine)

The thread ring gauge is a GO‑type inspection ring for verifying 7/16"‑14 UNC external threads according to ANSI/ASME B1.1; suitable for production control and incoming inspection.

• 7/16‑14 UNC GO inspection ring
• Hardened gauge steel construction
• Conforms to ANSI/ASME B1.1/B1.2 standards
• Precision tolerance class 2A

Ensure production conformity with a compact inspection tool

A GO thread ring in hardened gauge steel provides a fast, repeatable check of external 7/16‑14 UNC threads, reducing process uncertainty at the control station. The compact mass (0.1 kg) and straightforward geometry make the gauge easy to handle while retaining the stiffness required for a reliable fit check. Because the ring is manufactured to ANSI/ASME B1.1/B1.2, it serves as a clear reference in acceptance tests and in-process control, enabling operators to validate thread form and major diameter quickly without elaborate measuring setups.

Measure fast, decide faster — benefit from standardised inspection

Using a GO ring gauge simplifies go/no‑go decisions by translating dimensional tolerances into an immediate physical check: a smooth fit indicates conformity to the specified 2A tolerance class, whereas refusal to assemble signals a potential deviation in thread profile or major diameter. This approach shortens inspection cycles and supports lean workflows on the shop floor. The gauge’s gauge steel, hardened construction ensures wear resistance over many verification cycles, preserving accuracy and reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Practical robustness for workshop and production environments

The ring’s material choice and heat treatment deliver a balance between durability and dimensional stability. In everyday use, the gauge resists abrasion and maintains its checking function under regular handling. The compact design suits both bench inspection and mobile quality rounds, while compliance with established standards allows the ring to be integrated into documented quality procedures and audit trails. For traceable quality systems, note that the product identifier M315.953 simplifies stockkeeping and traceability within production records.

FAQ

What does the GO designation mean for this ring gauge?
The GO designation indicates the ring gauge is intended to check whether an external 7/16‑14 UNC thread falls within the maximum material limits; the GO ring gauge must assemble smoothly when the thread is within tolerance.

Is this ring gauge suitable for production control to ANSI/ASME standards?
Yes, the M315.953 is manufactured and marked to ANSI/ASME B1.1/B1.2, making it suitable for production inspection and for inclusion in documented quality procedures.

How durable is the material of the gauge and what maintenance is required?
Constructed from hardened gauge steel, the ring gauge offers high wear resistance; routine cleaning and occasional light lubrication of the thread flanks will preserve function and surface condition.

Can the gauge identify thread profile errors as well as diameter deviations?
The GO ring checks the major diameter and thread form insofar as a correct profile allows assembly; however, dedicated profile measurement tools are required for detailed form analysis beyond a go/no‑go assessment.
