Pipe tapered screws gauge do not have a pass/stop division. gauge There is a notch (step) in the single unit, and it is a mechanism to judge the pass/fail by the position of the screw of the inspection partner in relation to how far it is screwed.
In addition, there is no classification for machining and inspection.

How to use tapered pipe screw gauge (plug)
Conventional JIS Standards PT gauge |
![]() ![]() (1) Notch (2) Passing range (3) internal thread PT gauge has one notch Passes if the pipe end is within the notch range of gauge |
Current JIS Standards RC gauge |
![]() (4) Passing range of R R gauge has two notches |
Current JIS Standards R gauge |
![]() ![]() (5) Notch (6) Passing range There is no classification between Rp and Rc gauge ! (Both use R) If the end face of the external thread stops between the notches, it passes. |
Shape of tapered screw gauge (ring) for pipe
* There is a difference in the number of notches in the plug gauge between PT and R, but there is no difference in the number of notches in the ring gauge . There is a difference in the thickness of the gauge . (PT is thicker than R.) )
Conventional JIS Standards PT gauge |
Current JIS Standards (ISO Standards) R gauge |
![]() (7) Notch (8) Position of reference diameter |
![]() (9) Notch (10) Position of reference diameter |
The tapered screw gauge has no passing or stopping setting, and there is no distinction between machining and inspection! No precision!
