Use a thread gauge to find the number of threads on a bolt. A thread gauge is several comb-like plates, each plate is marked with the number of threads the gauge fits. Search the internet using thread gauge for examples of what thread gauges look like.
There are many different thread forms in use today. The most common are; BPV thread API thread profile gauge Thread profile gauge API 5b thread gauges API thread gauges Pipe thread gauges API Thread Gauge Manufacturer & Supplier Ring gauge use Pipe threader Acme thread Feeler gauge set Ring gauge set threaded pipe plug step gauge NPT thread gauge Tapered pipe thread
A thread gauge is a tool used for identifying the particular thread on a bolt or screw. The gauge will have several blades with saw like teeth of different sizes. You match a particular gauge to the thread which will then tell you what size thread it is. gauges come in various pitches to match different screw threads. UNF, UNC, Whitworth, Metric etc. Each has a different pitch angle and thread per inch or millimetre.An image of a thread gauge can be seen HERE
what does a standard thread gauge measure
A device to measure the tire's thread depth.
When repairing jeans or any form of denim material a heavy gauge thread is required due to the density of the material being repaired and the tension placed on the thread used because of the in-elasticity of the denim.
In M6 x 1 6g and M6 x 1 6h thread gauges, 6g & 6h are the two different tolerance class for M6 thread. Normally 6g gauge is used for without plated thread and 6h gauge is used for plated thread,(if specific criteria is not mentioned).
A thread guage is used to determine what kind of threads are present on a threaded device. It is a trial and error type of test. Simply pick one of the gauges that seems to be the best fit. If it is a perfect fit read the thread characteristics off the gauge, If the fit is not perfect keep trying gauges. You should keep getting closer to a perfect fit. Once you reach a perfect fit read the characteristics off the guage. A perfect fit is achieved when the point of the gauge reaches the root of the thread and the sides of the gauge touch the face of the threads being tested.

Any high thread count will do, but consider gettng a 800 thread count if you can find it.
