Left hand thread gages are used for checking Left hand thread. Left hand threads are designated LH. They are relative to right hand thread( RH). The thread is with counter-clockwise rotation. A thread is a left hand thread, if when reviewed axially, it winds in a counterclockwise and receding direction. The helix of a thread can twist in two possible directions. Most threads are oriented so that the threaded item when seen from a point of view on the axis through the center of the helix, moves away from the viewer when it is turned in a clockwise direction, and moves towards the viewer when it is turned counter clockwise.By common convention, right-handedness is the default handedness for screw threads. Therefore,most threaded parts and fasteners have right handed thread.we can produce kinds of left hand thread gauges,      For example, Metric, United Inch (UN), Trapezoidal, Acme etc. Not like the right hand thread gages, most of the RT  gages are in stock. Most of left hand thread gages need to be produced specially. Usually, the ring gages need two weeks to be finished, the plug gages need ten days to be finished. If clients need these LH gages with long form calibration certificate, we can send to Beijing Aerospace Institude for Metrology and Measurement Technology to get the certificates, which is ISO17025 accredited and ISO9001:2008 passed. Usually we need three days to get certificates.
