Description
Product details
British Standard Whitworth (BSW) form thread gauges are specialized tools used to check the clearance between male and female threads, ensuring accuracy and compatibility in inch-based systems. These gauges, like plug and ring gauges, are crucial for ensuring proper fit in various industries and applications, particularly for replacement parts where Whitworth threads are still used. Key points about Whitworth thread gauges: BSW and BSF: BSW is the coarse thread, while BSF is a finer pitch alternative. Imperial Measurement: Whitworth gauges are part of the inch measurement system. Accuracy and Fit: They ensure proper engagement and fit of male and female threads. Replacement Parts: They are commonly used for replacement parts. Engineering Applications: They are essential in various industries and engineering. 55-degree Angle: Whitworth threads have a 55-degree included angle between the thread flanks. Radii at Crest and Root: They also have radii at both the crest and root of the thread. Standardization: The gauges are based on standards like BS 84-2007. Types of Gauges: Plug gauges (for internal threads) and ring gauges (for external threads) are available.
