Precision BUTT Thread plug and ring Gauges: Your Key to Reliable ANSI/ASME B1.9 7°/45° Buttress Thread Inspection
Ensuring the precise form and fit of 7°/45° buttress threads, as defined by the ANSI/ASME B1.9 standard, is critical for applications demanding high axial strength with easy disassembly – common in presses, vices, aircraft jacks, and ordnance. BUTT thread ring and plug gauges (e.g., 3-12 BUTT-2A, 4-16 BUTT-3A) are the definitive tools for verifying these specialized threads. Our manufacturing expertise guarantees gauges you can trust.

Uncompromising Quality & Precision:
-
Premium Material: Gauges are crafted from high-grade CR15 (GCr15 equivalent) bearing steel. This material offers exceptional hardness (typically HRC 60-64), superior wear resistance, and remarkable dimensional stability, ensuring long service life and sustained accuracy under rigorous use.
-
Advanced Manufacturing: Utilizing state-of-the-art CNC Thread Grinding Machines, we achieve unparalleled precision in generating the critical 7° load-bearing flank and 45° trailing flank angles, along with exact root and crest dimensions specified by B1.9. This process guarantees the geometric integrity essential for accurate thread inspection.
-
Rigorous Verification: Every gauge undergoes meticulous inspection using high-precision Thread Measuring Machines. This verifies all parameters – major diameter, minor diameter, pitch diameter, pitch, and flank angles – against the stringent requirements of ANSI/ASME B1.9 and relevant gauge standards (e.g., ASME B1.2), ensuring they perform as true physical masters.
-
Certification: Gauges are supplied with full inspection reports traceable to national standards, providing documented proof of conformity.
Efficient Production & Custom Solutions:
-
Reliable Lead Time: Our optimized processes enable a standard manufacturing cycle of just 4 weeks, ensuring you receive your critical inspection tools promptly.
