Gauge for M3.5 external threads
GO ring gauge GO M3.5 6g checks whether the external thread is oversized — it must screw on by hand along the full length. This is a single-limit check: it detects excess material but will not detect an undersized thread. That requires the ring gauge NO-GO, ordered separately: it may screw onto the thread no more than 2 threads, counted when unscrewing.
This size range is typical for the production of machine bolts and studs. The ring gauge detects both a thread cut too deep and a thread deformed on a shaft — neither defect is visible to the naked eye. The 0.6 mm pitch is the coarse pitch for this diameter: the designation M3.5 without a specified pitch denotes this thread. For reference: the thread minor diameter M3.5 is 2.764 mm — this cross section determines the bolt's strength, while the gauge checks the pitch diameter.
The GO gauge checks the maximum material limit of the external thread, checking pitch diameter, pitch and thread profile simultaneously. If the GO gauge does not screw onto the thread — the part is nonconforming (thread oversized, out of tolerance). Complete thread inspection also requires a gauge NO-GO, which checks the minimum material limit.
Comparison of classes according to ISO 965-1
Basic pitch diameter d2 for the thread M3.5 is 3.110 mm. The deviations in the table are measured downward from this value.
| Class | d2 nominal [mm] | d2 permissible [mm] | Tolerance zone | Application | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4g | 3.110 mm | 3.036 – 3.089 mm | 0.053 mm | Precision fit | |
| 6g | 3.110 mm | 3.004 – 3.089 mm | 0.085 mm | Standard fit (bolts) | THIS PRODUCT |
| 6e | 3.110 mm | 2.972 – 3.057 mm | 0.085 mm | Clearance fit (coatings) |
The full range of class 6g for the thread M3.5 is 0.085 mm — less than the thickness of a sheet of paper: from 3.004 to 3.089 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.
Correct use of GO/NO-GO gauges
screws on: YES
screws on: NO — max. 2 turns
class: 6g OK
Both conditions must be met simultaneously. Standard: ISO 965-1
Store the gauge in a dry place, protected with rust-preventive oil. Before measurement, remove chips and burrs from the thread being inspected. Screw the gauge on by hand — never use wrenches or force. 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.
Varel gauge features:
| ✓ | Alloy tool steel hardened to 58–62 HRC |
| ✓ | Ground thread profiles for high accuracy |
| ✓ | Thread, tolerance class and type (GO) marked on the ring |
| ✓ | Compliance with ISO 965-1 / DIN 13 |
The GO thread ring gauge is used to inspect M3.5 external threads of tolerance class 6g. It verifies that the pitch diameter, pitch and thread profile are within permissible limits. The gauge should screw freely onto the full length of the thread being inspected.
The GO gauge checks the maximum material limit — it must screw onto the thread. The NO-GO gauge checks the minimum limit — it should not screw on more than 2 turns. Both gauges are required for complete inspection of an M3.5 6g thread.
ISO 1502 (clause 7.2.1) requires gauge wear to be checked by periodic measurement at intervals based on usage intensity, but specifies neither the interval nor the number of measurements — these are determined by the user as part of measuring equipment control. Calibration is performed by an accredited metrology laboratory. Between calibrations, it is advisable to check the gauge using a setting plug gauge.
