Limit gauging principle: GO + NO-GO
Gauge for M20 external threads according to ISO 1502
The ring gauge set M20x1.5 6g checks an external thread — on a bolt, stud or turned pin. The ring gauge GO must screw on by hand along the full thread length, while the ring gauge NO-GO may advance no more than 2 threads, counted when unscrewing. Only both results together confirm that the thread is neither oversized nor undersized.
Bolts in this range are used in load-bearing joints and actuator mountings, where tightening torque reaches hundreds of newton-meters. An oversized thread jams halfway into the nut; an undersized thread strips during tightening. The fine pitch of 1.5 mm provides a shallower profile and less clearance than the coarse pitch of 2.5 mm. The gauge fits only the thread M20x1.5 — M20 with a 2.5 mm pitch requires a separate gauge. For reference: the thread minor diameter M20x1.5 is 18.160 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 M20 6g: d2 max = 18.994 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 = 18.854 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.

Tolerance classes for an M20 × 1.5 external thread
Comparison according to ISO 965-1 for M20 × 1.5
Comparison of classes 4g, 6g, 6e and 8g
Basic pitch diameter d2 for the thread M20x1.5 is 19.026 mm. The deviations in the table are measured downward from this value.
| Class | d2 nominal [mm] | d2 permissible [mm] | Tolerance zone | Application | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4g | 19.026 mm | 18.904 – 18.994 mm | 0.090 mm | Precision fit | |
| 6g | 19.026 mm | 18.854 – 18.994 mm | 0.140 mm | Standard fit — bolts, fasteners | THIS PRODUCT |
| 6e | 19.026 mm | 18.819 – 18.959 mm | 0.140 mm | Clearance fit — for electroplating | |
| 8g | 19.026 mm | 18.770 – 18.994 mm | 0.224 mm | Coarse fit — hot-rolled threads |
The full range of class 6g for the thread M20x1.5 is 0.140 mm: from 18.854 to 18.994 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 M20 6g: d2 max = 18.994 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 = 18.854 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 18.994 mm) or the NO-GO gauge advances more than 2 turns (thread undersized — d2 below 18.854 mm). In either case, the part must be rejected or reworked. Reference standard: ISO 965-1 (tolerances), ISO 1502 (inspection procedure).
