Baker NPT L1 Core Thread Ring Gauge

The Baker NPT (National Pipe Thread) Thread Ring Gauge is a precision measuring tool specifically designed to check the accuracy and quality of NPT threaded pipes and fittings. NPT threads are widely used in piping systems for sealing and connecting components in industries such as plumbing, oil and gas, chemical processing, and more. The Baker NPT Thread Ring Gauge plays a crucial role in ensuring that NPT threaded parts meet the required specifications and standards.Key features of the Baker NPT Thread Ring Gauge include:1. **Precision Machined Threads:** The gauge is manufactured with precision-machined NPT threads that conform to the appropriate standards, such as ANSI/ASME B1.20.1. These threads are accurately cut to the specified pitch, angle, and profile to match NPT threaded parts precisely.2. **Thread Size and Pitch Verification:** The gauge is available in various sizes and thread pitches to accommodate different NPT thread specifications, such as 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1", and larger sizes. Each gauge is labeled with its thread size and pitch for easy identification.3. **Go/No-Go Design:** The NPT Thread Ring Gauge typically has a Go side and a No-Go side. The Go side checks whether the tested threaded part meets the minimum acceptable dimensions, while the No-Go side verifies that the part does not exceed the maximum allowable dimensions. This Go/No-Go design ensures quick and accurate inspection of NPT threads for compliance.4. **Durable Construction:** The gauge is constructed from high-quality materials, such as hardened steel, to withstand wear and maintain accuracy over repeated use. Proper care and handling, including regular cleaning and storage in a protective case, can further extend the gauge's lifespan.5. **Calibration and Certification:** To maintain accuracy, the Baker NPT Thread Ring Gauge should undergo periodic calibration using traceable standards. Some gauges come with calibration certificates or documentation that confirms their accuracy and compliance with relevant standards.In summary, the Baker NPT Thread Ring Gauge is an essential tool for quality assurance and inspection of NPT threaded parts, ensuring proper fit, sealing, and functionality in piping systems and related applications. Its precision design, go/no-go verification capability, and durability make it a valuable asset for industries relying on NPT threads for secure and reliable connections.
