M4x0.5-6H thread plug gauge construction: GO end, engraved handle, NO-GO end
1
GO end — longer thread with a full profile. It is screwed in by hand through the full length of the hole.
2
Handle engraved M4x0.5-6H — size and tolerance class of the inspected hole.
3
Red ring — identifies the NO-GO end.
4
NO-GO end — shorter thread with a truncated profile. It checks only the pitch diameter, so it is allowed to enter by 2 turns.

Thread plug gauge M4x0.5 6H provides the fastest check of a threaded hole — without a micrometer or calculations. The end GO must enter by hand along the full thread length, while the end NO-GO must stop after no more than 2 turns, counted when unscrewing. GO enters, NO-GO does not — the hole meets class 6H.

Holes of this size recur in every batch of parts: fixtures, brackets, covers and pump housings. Here, the gauge primarily checks the tool — it shows when the tap stops holding size. The fine pitch of 0.5 mm gives a shallower profile and less clearance than the coarse pitch of 0.7 mm. The gauge fits only the thread M4x0.5 — M4 with a 0.7 mm pitch requires a separate gauge. For reference: the internal thread minor diameter M4x0.5 is 3.459 mm, while the gauge checks the pitch diameter, which is the dimension halfway up the thread profile.

Operating principle: GO / NO-GO

How to check an internal thread correctly

M4x0.5-6H thread plug gauge: GO end screwed in by hand along the full hole length
1
The GO end is screwed in by hand, without force, along the full length of the M4x0.5 thread.
M4x0.5-6H thread plug gauge: NO-GO end stops in the hole after 2 turns
2
The NO-GO end stops after no more than 2 turns — turns are counted when unscrewing.
Inspection result with an M4x0.5-6H gauge: GO passed, NO-GO stopped, hole meets class 6H
3
The GO end passed, the NO-GO end stopped — the hole is within class 6H.

Thread inspection in 3 steps

1 GO end (longer thread)

Screwing into the thread — must enter

2 NO-GO end (red)

Screwing into the thread — no more than 2 turns

✓ Acceptable thread

Tolerance: 6H OK

If the end GO enters, and the end NO-GO does not enter — the thread meets the requirements of class 6H according to PN-ISO 1502:1998

GO end (passes)

No color marking — it has a longer thread and GO marked on the handle. It checks minimum internal thread dimensions. It must screw in freely along the full thread length. If it does not enter — the thread is undersized (the workpiece requires rework).

NO-GO end

Marked with a red ring. Checks maximum thread dimensions. It must not screw in more than 2 threads, with turns counted when unscrewing the gauge, not when screwing it in. If it goes farther — the thread is too loose and the part does not meet the tolerance class. For a thread 3 turns long or shorter, the NO-GO end must not pass all the way through.

Thread plug gauge in a hole: GO enters, NO-GO stops — thread acceptable
✓ Thread acceptable — GO enters the full length, NO-GO stops.
Thread plug gauge: GO end does not enter the hole — thread too tight
✗ Thread too tight — GO does not enter the hole.
Thread plug gauge: NO-GO end enters too far — thread too loose
✗ Thread too loose — NO-GO enters more than 2 turns.

Tolerance class 6H for an M4x0.5 thread

Comparison of tolerance classes for an M4x0.5 internal thread

Comparison of classes 4H, 5H, 6H and 7H

Basic pitch diameter D2 for the thread M4x0.5 is 3.675 mm. In classes designated H, this is also the minimum dimension — the tolerance extends upward only.

The full range of class 6H for the thread M4x0.5 is 0.100 mm: from 3.675 to 3.775 mm. Class 6H corresponds to a typical nut and a standard machine tap — it is selected for class 6g bolts. Classes 4H and 5H reduce clearance where the thread guides a component; 7H leaves an allowance for electroplating. The values in the table refer to pitch diameter D2, not the tap drill diameter.

Frequently asked questions

6H is the most commonly used internal thread tolerance class according to ISO 965-1. The digit 6 specifies the tolerance grade (zone width), and the letter H indicates the tolerance zone position (lower deviation = 0). Class 6H provides a standard fit with class 6g bolts.

The end GO (GO, with the longer thread) must enter freely along the full thread length. The end NO-GO (NO-GO, red) should not screw in more than 2 turns (counted when unscrewing). Both conditions must be met simultaneously for the thread to be considered acceptable according to PN-ISO 1502:1998.

Gauge wear is checked by periodic measurement at intervals based on usage intensity (ISO 1502, clause 7.2.1); the standard specifies neither the number of measurements nor a fixed interval. A worn gauge gives false positive results — the NO-GO end starts entering the thread. The gauge should be verified periodically using setting gauges.
