T
GO ring gauge — screwed on by hand along the full bolt thread.
Z
NO-GO ring gauge with a groove in the knurled surface — stops after no more than 2 turns.
The M16-6g engraving on the face of both rings indicates the size and tolerance class of the bolt being inspected.
Limit gauging principle: GO + NO-GO
Gauge for M16 external threads according to ISO 1502
1
The GO ring gauge is screwed on by hand, without force, along the full thread of the M16 x2 bolt.
2
The NO-GO ring gauge stops after no more than 2 turns — turns are counted when unscrewing.
3
The GO ring gauge passed, NO-GO stopped — the bolt meets class 6g.
The pair of ring gauges M16 6g answers a single question: whether this bolt is within tolerance. The ring gauge GO must screw on by hand along the full thread, while the ring gauge NO-GO must stop after no more than 2 turns, counted when unscrewing. The two results give a clear decision — acceptable or requires rework.
Bolts of this size join steel structures, flanges, and machine housings — joints subjected to loads and vibration. A nut screwed onto an out-of-tolerance thread appears to hold but loses clamping force after a few cycles. The 2 mm pitch is the coarse pitch for this diameter: the designation M16 without a specified pitch denotes this thread. For reference: the thread minor diameter M16 is 13.546 mm — this cross section determines the bolt's strength, while the gauge checks the pitch diameter.
The gauge GO has a full thread profile and checks the maximum material limit — pitch diameter, pitch and thread profile at the upper tolerance limit (for M16 6g: d2 max = 14.663 mm). It should screw freely onto the full length of the thread being inspected — without force or wrenches. The gauge NO-GO has a truncated profile with incomplete flanks and checks the minimum material limit (d2 min = 14.503 mm). According to ISO 1502 §7 it must not screw onto the thread more than 2 threads. Only meeting both conditions simultaneously confirms that the thread is within tolerance class 6g.
Thread inspection M16 × 2 — class 6g
1 GO gauge
screws on the full length: YES
2 NO-GO gauge
advances max. 2 turns: YES
✓ Conforming thread
class 6g confirmed
Inspection standard: ISO 1502 · Tolerances: ISO 965-1 · Dimensions: ISO 724 / DIN 13-1
✓ Thread acceptable — GO screws onto the full thread, NO-GO stops.
✗ Thread oversized — GO does not screw onto the bolt.
✗ Thread undersized — NO-GO screws on more than 2 turns.
Tolerance classes for an M16 × 2 external thread
Comparison according to ISO 965-1 for M16 × 2
Comparison of classes 4g, 6g, 6e and 8g
Basic pitch diameter d2 for the thread M16 is 14.701 mm. The deviations in the table are measured downward from this value.
| Class | d2 nominal [mm] | d2 permissible [mm] | Tolerance zone | Application | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4g | 14.701 mm | 14.563 – 14.663 mm | 0.100 mm | Precision fit | |
| 6g | 14.701 mm | 14.503 – 14.663 mm | 0.160 mm | Standard fit — bolts, fasteners | THIS PRODUCT |
| 6e | 14.701 mm | 14.470 – 14.630 mm | 0.160 mm | Clearance fit — for electroplating | |
| 8g | 14.701 mm | 14.413 – 14.663 mm | 0.250 mm | Coarse fit — hot-rolled threads |
The full range of class 6g for the thread M16 is 0.160 mm: from 14.503 to 14.663 mm. Class 6g is the standard for general-purpose bolts — it mates with 6H nuts. Classes 4g and 5g reduce clearance in guiding joints, while 6e and 8g leave room for electroplating. The values in the table are pitch diameter d2, measured at half the profile height, not the thread major diameter.
Proper use and calibration
Maintaining gauge accuracy
Usage rules according to ISO 1502
Before measurement, the thread is cleaned of chips, burrs, oil and contaminants. The gauge is screwed on by hand only, without wrenches or externally applied torque (which increases wear and distorts the result). Reference inspection temperature: 20 °C. Gauges are stored in a dry place, protected with rust-preventive oil. The calibration interval is determined by the user based on usage intensity — ISO 1502 (clause 7.2.1) requires periodic gauge measurement but specifies neither the interval nor the number of measurements. ISO 1502 specifies thread ring gauge wear limits (wear limits); once these are exceeded, the gauge must be removed from service.
Varel set contents
Included in the set:
| ✓ | 1 × GO thread ring gauge — GO, full thread profile, checks the maximum material limit |
| ✓ | 1 × NO-GO thread ring gauge — NO-GO, truncated profile (max. 2 turns of engagement according to ISO 1502) |
| ✓ | Tool steel hardened to 58–62 HRC — high wear resistance |
| ✓ | Ground thread profiles — high measurement repeatability |
| ✓ | Compliance with ISO 1502 / DIN 2285 + DIN 2299 (gauges) and ISO 965-1 / DIN 13-1 (thread) |
Frequently asked questions
The principle of limit gauging requires verification of both the maximum and minimum material limits. The GO gauge confirms that the thread is not oversized (it screws on the full length), while the NO-GO gauge confirms that it is not undersized (it does not advance more than 2 turns according to ISO 1502). Using only one gauge leaves the other limit unchecked — the part may be outside tolerance class 6g despite passing a partial inspection.
The gauge GO has a full thread profile and represents the maximum material limit of the external thread being inspected (for M16 6g: d2 max = 14.663 mm). The gauge NO-GO has a profile that is truncated with incomplete flanks — it checks only the pitch diameter at the lower limit (d2 min = 14.503 mm) and has a shorter threaded length (usually 3 full turns). The design of both types is defined by ISO 1502 table 2.
The thread is nonconforming, if either condition occurs: the GO gauge does not screw on the full length (thread oversized — d2 above 14.663 mm) or the NO-GO gauge advances more than 2 turns (thread undersized — d2 below 14.503 mm). In either case, the part must be rejected or reworked. Reference standard: ISO 965-1 (tolerances), ISO 1502 (inspection procedure).
