Parish Engineering are a distributor for Threadmaster, one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of screw gauges and plain gauges. Gauge production is backed by its UKAS laboratory, and free UKAS certificates are issued with all of their products.
Both metric and imperial are available in screw thread plug gauges, screw thread ring gauges, taper thread plug gauges and taper thread ring gauges. These thread gauges are also available for most thread forms including; acme, stub acme, buttress and trapezoidal.
A full range of plain plug and ring gauges are available in parallel and taper form.
All types of special gauges can be manufactured to order, and are also provided with free certification.
Benefits and Competitive Differences
Parish Engineering supplies precision measurement products for manufacturers requiring accurate thread verification and dimensional inspection across machining and production operations. As a distributor for Thread master, the business provides access to precision-engineered thread gauges manufactured to support controlled inspection and specification compliance across technical engineering applications.
The gauge range includes both metric and imperial products covering screw thread, taper thread and plain gauge requirements. Products are available for a broad range of thread forms including acme, stub acme, buttress and trapezoidal configurations.
Gauge supply is supported by certified manufacturing and verification processes, allowing components and threaded features to be checked against required tolerances and engineering specifications.
Benefits of Thread Gauges and Precision Inspection
Accurate gauge verification is important across machining, assembly and production environments where thread fitment, dimensional accuracy and component interchangeability affect operational performance. Parish Engineering supplies inspection products suited to both standard manufacturing applications and specialised engineering requirements.
Screw Plug and Ring Gauges
The range of screw plug and ring gauges supports dimensional verification across internally and externally threaded components. These gauges are used to confirm thread accuracy, fitment and tolerance compliance during machining and inspection operations.
Metric and imperial sizes are available across multiple thread configurations to support varying production requirements and engineering standards.
Key operational benefits include:
- Verification of internal and external thread dimensions
- Support for metric and imperial thread specifications
- Suitability across multiple thread forms and configurations
- Inspection capability for repeat manufacturing work
- Controlled verification for threaded component applications

FAQs
Parish Engineering supplies a range of gauges, including Go/No-Go gauges, screw plug gauges, thread gauges, and plain plug gauges, all designed to ensure the accuracy and quality of precision components.
Our gauges are used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, defence, and manufacturing, where precise measurement and quality control are critical.
Yes, we offer custom gauge solutions tailored to the specific needs of our clients. We can design and manufacture gauges for unique applications and components.
A screw plug gauge is used to check the internal threads of a workpiece, ensuring they meet the required specifications for size, pitch, and alignment.
A Go/No-Go gauge is used to check whether a part fits within specified tolerances. The “Go” side indicates the minimum acceptable size, while the “No-Go” side represents the maximum allowable size. If the part fits the “Go” side and does not fit the “No-Go” side, it is within specification.
A thread gauge is used to measure the profile and dimensions of threads, ensuring they meet the required specifications for fit and performance.
A plain plug gauge is used to check the internal diameter of a bore.
Plug gauges are used to check internal threads, whereas ring gauges are used to check external threads.
