These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User") and ThreadChaser ("Developer," "we," "us," or "our"), the individual or entity that developed and operates the ThreadChaser website.
2. Description of the Website
ThreadChaser is a web-based tool that assists users in identifying and matching mechanical thread standards by comparing measured thread dimensions against a built-in reference database. The Website supports a range of international and national thread standards including, but not limited to, Metric (ISO), UNC/UNF/UNEF (ASME), BSP/BSW/BSF/BA (BS), NPT (ASME), ACME, Buttress, Square, and Knuckle (DIN) threads.
The Website is intended to serve as a reference and identification aid only. It is not a substitute for professional engineering judgment, formal metrology equipment, or certified inspection processes.
