Thread gauge Gimex MWGa METR 60°T 318.001 — metric thread profile template

Gimex MWGa METR 60°T is a compact metric thread gauge intended for quick identification and comparison of external and internal metric thread profiles with a 60° flank angle. The steel template provides a reliable physical reference for thread form and pitch, allowing technicians and workshop personnel to verify conformity to metric standards during inspection, maintenance and assembly tasks. Its simple, portable design supports rapid checks of screws, bolts and threaded components without the need for measurement instruments.

Advantages

The gauge offers a straightforward method to determine thread profile and pitch by direct visual and tactile comparison. Its durable construction ensures repeated use in workshop conditions while remaining compact enough for toolboxes or inspection kits. Using this template reduces time spent on thread identification and helps avoid mismatches during repairs or replacements. The clear metric profile layout simplifies use even for operators with basic technical experience.

Suitable for

• Quick identification of external and internal metric threads
• Workshop and maintenance inspections
• Quality control and incoming parts verification
• Repair and replacement tasks involving bolts and screws

Key specifications

• Thread form: metric 60° flank angle
• Function: physical profile template for pitch and form comparison
• Material: metal suitable for repeated contact checks
• Design: compact and portable for toolbox or inspection kit
• Use environment: workshop, maintenance, inspection stations

How to use

Place the template against the thread to be checked and visually match the profile and pitch with the corresponding gauge outline. For external threads, fit the thread crest into the matching groove on the template; for internal threads, align the template profile to the thread root where accessible. Hold the template steady and inspect the contact to determine conformity; use magnification or cleaning if dirt or wear obscures the profile. If a clear fit is observed, the thread form and pitch correspond to the metric profile on the gauge.

Usage recommendations

Keep the template clean and free of debris to ensure accurate comparison. Store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion and avoid using excessive force when fitting threads to the template to prevent damage to the template or the component being tested.
