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 M12x1-6H — 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 M12x1 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.
At these diameters, hand tapping gives way to machine tapping: housings, flanges, and mounting plates. A hole made with a dull tap may look flawless, and only a gauge reveals that it is oversized. The fine pitch of 1 mm provides a shallower profile and less clearance than the coarse pitch of 1.75 mm. The gauge fits only the thread M12x1 — M12 with a 1.75 mm pitch requires a separate gauge. For reference: the internal thread minor diameter M12x1 is 10.917 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
1
The GO end is screwed in by hand, without force, along the full length of the M12x1 thread.
2
The NO-GO end stops after no more than 2 turns — turns are counted when unscrewing.
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 acceptable — GO enters the full length, NO-GO stops.
✗ Thread too tight — GO does not enter the hole.
✗ Thread too loose — NO-GO enters more than 2 turns.
Tolerance class 6H for an M12x1 thread
Comparison of tolerance classes for an M12x1 internal thread
Comparison of classes 4H, 5H, 6H and 7H
Basic pitch diameter D2 for the thread M12x1 is 11.350 mm. In classes designated H, this is also the minimum dimension — the tolerance extends upward only.
| Class | D2 nominal [mm] | D2 permissible [mm] | Tolerance zone | Application | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4H | 11.350 mm | 11.350 – 11.450 mm | 0.100 mm | Precision | |
| 5H | 11.350 mm | 11.350 – 11.475 mm | 0.125 mm | Close | |
| 6H | 11.350 mm | 11.350 – 11.510 mm | 0.160 mm | Standard | THIS PRODUCT |
| 7H | 11.350 mm | 11.350 – 11.550 mm | 0.200 mm | Coarse |
The full range of class 6H for the thread M12x1 is 0.160 mm: from 11.350 to 11.510 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.
