Thread gauge Gimex MWGc METR/CAL (model 318.002) — metric thread master for measuring thread pitch and profile

The Gimex MWGc METR/CAL (model 318.002) is a compact metric thread gauge designed to check and identify metric thread pitches and profiles. It functions as a reference master for quick go/no‑go verification, helping technicians, machinists and inspectors confirm thread form and pitch during maintenance, repair and quality control tasks. The tool's compact size and clear markings make it suitable for workshop environments where fast, repeatable checks of threaded parts are needed.

Advantages

This metric thread master provides accurate, repeatable identification of metric thread pitches and profiles without the need for complex measuring equipment. Its robust construction offers stability during use and ensures reliable comparison against thread standards. The compact design allows easy handling and portable inspection directly at the workplace, reducing downtime for thread verification tasks.

Suitable for

• Quick go/no‑go checks of external and internal metric threads
• Routine workshop inspection and maintenance
• Quality control during manufacturing or assembly
• Identifying unknown metric thread pitches and profiles
• Field service and repair tasks requiring portable thread verification

Key specifications

• Thread standard: metric thread pitches and profiles
• Type: metric thread gauge/master for go/no‑go verification
• Construction: compact, handheld inspection tool for workshop use
• Application: suitable for external and internal thread checks and identification
• Intended users: technicians, machinists, inspectors and maintenance personnel

How to use

Select the section of the gauge corresponding to the suspected metric pitch and gently engage it with the thread to be checked. For external threads, screw the gauge onto the thread; for internal threads, insert the appropriate part of the gauge and assess fit. A correct fit without play indicates a matching pitch and profile; excessive clearance or tightness indicates a mismatch. Use the gauge on clean, undamaged threads and compare several engagement points if necessary to confirm results.

Usage recommendations

Keep the gauge clean and free of debris; inspect threads before measurement and store the tool in a protective case to maintain accuracy. When validating critical components, complement the gauge check with calibrated metrology equipment or thread measurement tools for traceable inspection.
