Special Thread Measuring Wires (+/- .000020") - Inches
Details
Thread Check Inc. offers special sized thread measuring wires that meet or exceed ASME B89.1.17, ASME/ANSI B1.2 and B1.16M for Grade A Thread measuring wires. The 3 wire method is the most accurate and universally method of measuring the effective or pitch diameter of an external screw thread.

Use of best size wires
In measuring screw threads it is desirable to use wires which touch the thread at or near the pitch diameter for the reason that with such “Best Size” wires the measurement of pitch diameter is least effected by an error in the included angle of thread.
Notes: Maximum and minimum wires should be used which are safely within the limiting dimensions given by the above formulas.
