Performing Ring Gage Calibration

How is everybody doing thread gage calibration? Do you do your own or send it to a calibration service? We are a "start-up" company with limited "budgeted" funds, and I have over 1000 gages, Thread plug gages we are equipped to calibrate, ring gages(600+) we are not. Our QA Inspectors calibrate in there spare time:sarcasm: . If there a simple set-up for doing ring gages? Any suggestions. :bonk::thanx:

Re: Performing Thread Gage Calibaration

:modcop: I changed the title to make it a bit more specific. Let me or another moderator know if there is a problem.

Hello there! :bigwave:

I am not too familar with thread gauge calibration; however, I do know there are several threads here covering thread gauge calibration. When I changed the title of your post, I noticed four or five threads popped up at the bottom of the page. Have you checked those out?

Do you have enough history that you could extend the recall interval for your instruments?

Assuming that you are working with American Gage Design (AGD) Style Adjustable Screw Thread Ring Gages, you want to avoid suggestions to calibrate them by direct measurement.

Read this link for description of problems associated with direct measurement of AGD Adjustable Thread Ring Gages.

Direct measurement of solid style screw thread ring gages is acceptable measurement method.

Since you are already calibrating your own screw thread working plug gages, doing your AGD style screw thread rings is not that much more work.

You do have to purchase Truncated Set Plug Gages. Once you have them you calibrate them using the same methods used to calibrate your working plug gages.

After your Truncated Set Plug Gages are calibrated, just follow the on-line instructions on how to use Truncated Set Plug Gages to calibrate AGD style screw thread ring gages.

One thing that takes a bit of time is digging out the wax seal, and when the gages are calibrated, reinstalling the seal.

Some gage makers have found that using Hot Glue is better. The Hot Glue is less expensive to purchase, less time consuming to use, and also easier to remove when time to recalibrate.

Here is a web page that talks about Sealing Wax.

Here is a link to page 34 of the July 2005 issue of Shop Talk Magazine: Hot Glue the new Sealing Wax?.

I hope these links help.
