Description

The VCOIL Plug Gauge is a precision go/no-go tool designed to verify 5/8-18 UNF threads used with helicoil inserts in right-hand applications. Built to the 3B class with a dedicated scrap-side red mark, it ensures consistent thread quality during production and repair.

  • Thread size and type: 5/8 x 18 UNF, right-hand thread, 3B class tolerance.
  • Go/No-Go design: Combines go and no-go plug gauges in one instrument; go end threads into the machined thread by hand (without excessive force); no-go end should not thread in more than two turns.
  • Helicoil-compatible: Part of the Helicoil gauge family, designed for standard helicoil insert applications and ANSI/ASME UNF threads.
  • Scrap indication: Scrap side is marked with a red ring for quick rejection and clear inspection guidance.
  • Temperature reference: Parts and gauges are referenced to 20°C to ensure accurate, consistent measurements.

This plug gauge helps technicians confirm thread readiness before helicoil installation, reducing guesswork and scrap. The go/no-go test streamlines quality checks, ensuring proper thread engagement and consistent results across parts, while the 20°C reference condition protects measurement accuracy in varying environments.
