When you are sourcing your UNEF thread gages try to find the best quality thread gauges
because only such tools will last long. If you settle for substandard quality thread gauges and
thread taps, just because they are priced low, you cannot expect them to last long. Even after
sourcing the best quality thread gauges and thread taps one would still be forced to go for
frequent replacements. This could be because of the poor maintenance of the tools that you
are using. If the staff who use these tools do not know how to use them correctly, they can
damage the tool. Before using and after using the thread gauges, they need to be cleaned
thoroughly. If you use the tool without cleaning then the residual deposits will damage the
tool profile and also the component that you are inspecting.
Undue force should not be exerted when using the tool. When you try to exert undue force
with the intention of running the threads fully, you will damage the tool and also the
component that is being inspected. The whole purpose of using thread gauges is to establish
whether the threaded component matches the specifications accurately if not, then it could be
spotted with the help of the thread gauge. So, there is no point trying to force the tool when
inspecting. Ensure that your employees are trained to use the thread gauges correctly.
Correct use and regular maintenance will definitely make your thread gauge last long. If there
should be any problem with any of these factors, then the tool will be damaged sooner than it
should be. Therefore, it is important to keep the tool well maintained. Do not drop the thread
gauges. Store them always in their protective sheaths. All that it takes to make the thread
gauges last long are simple and regular efforts. Follow the thread gauge usage best practices
and make your thread gauges last long.
