The application discloses a detection method for the
pitch diameter of a metric internal thread, which comprises a universal toolmaker's
microscope (or a flash tester), a
steel ball for measurement, a strong
magnet and geometric formulas. The main principle is that the
steel ball is uniformly distributed in the internal thread groove, the
steel ball is then attracted by the strong
magnet, the measured product and the steel ball are placed under the universal toolmaker's
microscope for measurement, the distance from the center of the steel ball to the center of the internal thread is measured, and finally, the
pitch diameter value of the internal thread is calculated by using geometric formulas. The application has the advantages of simplicity, reliability, low cost, high popularization rate, high efficiency, high detection
accuracy and precision, and suitability for scenes with strict requirements on the
pitch diameter of the thread and the need for accurate data.
