Description: The 5690-GM is used to check lead error on the External API Threads. The 5690-GM is designed with extremely high accuracy, and the ability to make quick and precise readings. This is guaranteed due to the high degree of craftsmanship used in the assembly of these carefully machined and hand fitted gauges. The 5690-GM accuracy allows the gauge to read product errors up to 0.25mm from 0.005mm. The 5690-GM indicates product error so it must be used in conjunction with the proper Setting Standards, which are available in various pitches and accommodated for specific tapers. By first “zeroing” your 5690-GM on the proper setting standard, the product error is read on the dial. The measurement taken then indicates the deviation from the API Nominal. The range of this gauge is 101mm with per inch measurements, which is accomplished by varying the spacing of the interchangeable Ball Points at 12mm intervals. The Lead Setting Standards that are required to be used in conjunction with the Lead Gauge are also designed with readings at 12mm intervals up to 101mm. The body of the 5690-GM is chromed and contoured to insure durability, which will allow the 5690-GM to be a reliable tool for many, many years. Also, all of our Lead Gauges feature reverses tension on the moveable contact, which simplifies handling on Buttress Type Threads. The Allen Lead Gauge, 5690 Series, is without a doubt the top of line when it comes to reliability, durability, and most of all precision.
All lead gauges are furnished with 2 Allen Ball Points, a certificate of compliance to API specifications and a fitted box.
