FOREWORD
(This Foreword is not part of American National Standard ANSVASME 61.2-1983,
Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads.)
--`,,`,,``,,`,,,`,,`,,,,```,`,,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
American National Standards Committee B1 for the Standardization of screw threads

was organized in 1920 as Sectional Committee B1 under the aegis of the American Engineering Standards Committee (later the American National Standards Association, then
the United States of America Standards Institute and,as of.October 6, 1969, the American
National Standards Institute, Inc.), with the Society of Automotive Engineers and the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers as.joint sponsors.
In 1982, American National Standards Committee B1 was reorganized as the ASME
Standards Committee BI, and since then it has operated under the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers Procedures to produce and update standards which may become
ANSI Standards after final approval by the American National Standards Institute.
A declaration of accord with respect to the unification of screw threads was signed on
November 18, 1948, by representatives of the services and industry of the United States,
the United Kingdom, and Canada.The ANSI Unified Screw Thread Standard BI.
1, through
the quadripartite standardizationagreement (QST AG) 247, Unified Threads, is subject to
an international standardization agreement through the instrumentality of the AmericanBritish-Canadian-Australian Army Standardization Program, which recognizes BI. I as
a standard forUnified Threads when it is required to effect the interchangeability of parts
and equipment between the armies of the participating nations.
The first American National Standard for Screw Thread Gages and Gaging was published as ASA B1.2-1941 to supplement the parent Standard
ASA B1.l-1935, ScrewThreads
for Bolts, Nuts, Machine Screws and Threaded Parts. That Standard was revised and republished as a Unified Standard ASA Bl.1-1949 and again as ASA Bl.1-1960. The Unified Gage Standard was republished as ASA B1.2-1951 and USA B1.2-1966.
On February 9, 1973, a meeting was held by the Department of Commerce at the National Bureau of Standards, Washington, D.C., attended by representatives of government
and industry screw thread interests. With the goal of eliminating parallelstandards, those
at the meeting recommended that theNBS Handbook H-28 be converted into a coordinating document for government screw thread standards wherein sections of H-28 would be
replaced by single page references to existing industry standards. It was further recommended that the chairmanof American National Standards Committee B1 set up a group
to clearly define and establish identified levels of acceptability for screw threads.
At an American National Standards Committee
B1 meeting held on May 3, 1973,unanimous approval was given to the following motion: The BI Committee recognizing the
needs of industry for different levels of acceptability for screw threads, establishes new
scopes for StandardsB 1.1 and B 1.2 and sets up a new standard, B1.3. References to conformance criteria were removed from ANSI B1.2-1974 and additional gages and gaging
data were added to suit additional conformance requirements specified in ANSI B1.3 or
other B1 thread documents.
This new publication, designated ANSIIASME B1.2-1983, has had considerable new
material added to cover the many options of gages and measuring equipment shown in
ANSI B1.3, Screw Thread Gaging Systems for Dimensional Acceptability. It has also re-

applied HI and LO to function as NOT GO gages and has eliminated gages with pitch diameter outside product thread limits. ANSI B1.2 was approved by the ASME Standards
Committee B1 on March 18, 1983.
The proposed standard was submitted by the ASME Board of Standardization to the
American NationalStandardsInstitute. It was approved and formally designated an
American National Standard on May 16, 1983.

ANAMERICANNATIONAL STANDARD
AN AMERICAN NATIONALSTANDARD
GAGES AND GAGING FOR UNIFIED INCH SCREW THREADS
for Federal Services, Section 6, the use of this Standard by the federal government will be subject to all requirements and limitations of FED-STD-H28/6.
1 INTRODUCTION
This Standard provides essential specifications and

dimensions for the gages used on Unified inch screw
threads (UN and UNR thread form), and covers the
specifications and dimensions for the thread gages
and measuring equipment listed in Tables 1 and2. The
basic purpose and use of each gage are also described.
2 BASIC PRINCIPLES
2.1 Accuracy in Gaging
1 ,I References
Thread plug gages are controlled by direct measuring methods. Thread ring gages, thread snap limit
gages, and indicating thread gages are controlled by
reference to the appropriate setting gages or direct
measuring methods or both.
The latest editions of the following documents form

a part of this Standard, tothe extentspecified herein.

2.2 Limitations of Gaging

2.2.1 Product threads accepted by a gage of one
type may be verified by other types. It is possible,
however, that parts which are near a limit may be accepted by one type and rejected by another. Also, it
is possible for two individual limit gages of the same
type to be at opposite extremes of the gage tolerances
permitted, and borderline product threads accepted
by one gage could be rejected by another. For these
reasons, a product screw thread is considered acceptable when it passes a test by any of the permissible
gages in ANSI B1.3 for the gaging system specified,
provided the gages being used are within the tolerances specified in this Standard.
2.2.2 Gaging large product external and internal
threads equal to or greater than 6.25 in. nominal size
with plain and threaded plug and ring gages presents
problems for technical and economic reasons. In
these instances, verification-may be based on use of
modified snap or indicating gages or measurement of
thread elements. Various types of gages or measuring devices in addition to those defined in this document are available and acceptable when properly correlated to this Standard. Producer and user should
agree on the method and equipment used.
1.2 Classification
In this Standard, the term NOT GO, previously
known as HI and LO, is used to identify functional
diameter thread gages.
1.3 Federal Government Use

3 GENERAL PRACTICE
2 . 3 Determining Size of Gages
3.1 General Design
2.3.1 Measuring Pitch Diameter. The three-
The design of gages is specified only to the extent

that it affects the results obtained in the gaging of
product threads, Moreover, to serve their intended
purposes satisfactorily, thread gages should be produced by thelatestand
best manufacturing techniques. The type of steel or wear-resistant material
selected, together with the heat-treating and stabilization processes, should provide wear life and dimensional stability. Thread gaging elements should be
precisely manufactured to assure adequate refinement of surface texture, prevention or elimination of
amorphous or smear metal, and uniformity of thread
form over the entire length of the gaging member.
wire method of determining pitch diameter size of

thread plug gages is standard for gages in this Standard. Refer to Appendix B.
2 . 3 . 2 Size limit adjustments of thread ring and
external thread snapgages are determined by their fit
on their respective calibrated setting plugs. Indicating gages andthread
gages forproductexternal
threadsare controlled by reference to appropriate
calibrated setting plugs.
2.3.3 Size limit adjustments of internal thread
snap gages are determined by their fit on their respective calibrated setting rings. Indicating gages and
otheradjustablethread
gages for productinternal
threads are controlled by reference to appropriatecalibrated setting rings or by direct measuring methods.
3 . 2 Types of Gages
For GO thread gages, check either the maximummaterial limit or size to assure interchangeable assembly. For NOT GO (HI and LO) thread gages, inspect
the NOT GO functional diameter limit.
For GO and NOT GO plain cylindrical plug or ring
gages and snap or indicating gages, check the limit or
size of the minor diameter of product internal threads
and the major diameter of product external threads,
respectively.
2.4 Standard Temperature

2.4.1 A temperature of 68F (20C) is the standard temperature used internationally for linear measurements. Nominal dimensions of gages and product
as specified and actual dimensions as measured shall
be within specified limits at this temperature. For
screw thread gaging, the acceptable tolerance on the
standard temperature is 3~2F (k1
"C).
3.3 Interpretation of Tolerances
Tolerances on lead, half-angle, and pitch diameter

are variations which may be taken independently for
each of these elements and may be taken to the extent
allowed by respective tabulated dimensional limits.
The tabulated tolerance on any oneelement must not
be exceeded, even though variations in the other two
elements are smaller thanthe respective tabulated
tolerances.
2 . 4 . 2 As product threads are frequently checked
at temperatures which are not controlled, it is desirable that the coefficient of the thermal expansion
of gages be the same as that of the product on which
they are used. Inasmuch as the majority of threaded
product consists of iron or steel, and screw thread
gages are ordinarily made of hardened steel, this
condition is usually fulfilled without special attention, provided thread gages andproduct have stabilized to the same temperature. When the materials
of the product thread and thegage are dissimilar, the
differing thermal coefficients can cause serious complications and must be taken into account,unless both
product and gage at the time of gaging are at a temperature of:
(a) 68F k4"F (20C +2"C) for 1 in. and smaller
(6) 68F k2"F (20C +lC) for sizes above 1 in.
to 3 in.
3.4 Direction of Tolerances on Gages
At the maximum-material limit (GO), the dimensions of all gages used for final conformance gaging
are tobe within the limits of size of the product thread.
At the functional diameter limit, using NOT GO (HI
and LO) thread gages, the standard practice is to have
the gage tolerance within the limits ofsize of the
product thread, Specifications for gage limits are listed
in Tables 4 and 5.

of the thread within proper limits. The equivalent of

the variationfromthe true thread form caused by such
irregularities as convex, concave or wavy flanks,
rounded crests, or slight projections on the thread
formshallnot
exceed the tolerance permitted on
half-angle.
3.5 Standard Thread Gage To-lerances
Standard tolerances for thread-working gages,

thread-setting plugs, and setting rings are as follows:
(a) W tolerance, shown in Table 7, represent the
highest commercial grade of accuracy and workmanship and are specified for thread-setting gages;
(b) X tolerances, shown in Table 6, are larger than
W tolerances andare used forproduct inspection
gages.
Unless otherwise specified, all threadgages and gaging
contacts which directly check the product threadshall
be X tolerance.
3.8 Check of Effect of Lead and Flank Angle

Variations on Product Thread
When this check is specified, there are two general

methods available forthe
inspection procedures
involved.
(a) Direct Measurement of Lead and Half-Angle of
Flanks. The lead and flank angles of theproduct
thread may be measured by means of available measuring equipment, such as thread indicating gages,
projection comparators, measuring microscopes,
graduatedcone points, lead measuring machines,
helix variation measuring machines, threadflank
charting equipment, etc. Diameter equivalents of such
variations from nominal maybe calculated: each
0.0001 in. variation in lead amounts to 0.00017in.
(1.732 X .OOOOl) increase in functional pitch diameter
on external threads or a decrease in functional pitch
diameter on internalthreads for 60 deg. screw
threads.
The tangent of half-angle variation times 1 . 5 equals
~
the approximatemaximum change in functional pitch
diameter, based on a height of thread engagement of
0.6258 and equal half-angle variations.
(b) Differential Gaging Utilizing Indicating Thread
Gages. See Sections 4 and 5 for explanation and illustration of differential gaging for internal and external threads.
3.6 Tolerance on Lead

Cumulative effect of progressive or erratic helix
variation and thick or 'thin end thread Variations is
specified as an allowable variation between any two
threads not farther apart than the length of the standard taperlock or trilock gage, shown in ANSIB47.1.
In the case of setting plugs, the specified tolerance
shall be applicable to the thread length in the mating
ring gage or nine pitches, whichever is smaller. For
setting rings, the tolerance applies to a thread length
of three pitches. The tolerance on lead establishes the
width of a zone, measured parallel to the axis of the
thread, within which the actual helical path must lie
for the specified length of the thread. Measurements
will be taken from a fixed reference point located at
the start of the firstfull thread to a sufficient number
of positions along the entire helix to detect all types
of lead variations. The amounts that these positions
vary from their basic (theoretical) positions will be
recorded with due respect to sign. The greatest variation in each direction [plus and minus (*)I will be
selected andthe sum of their values, disregarding
sign, shall not exceed the specified tolerance. If the
variations are all in one direction, the maximum value
governs conformance. In the case of truncated setting plugs, the lead variations present on the fullform portionand the truncated portion of an individual gage shall notdiffer from each other by more than
0.0001 in. over any portion equivalent to the length
of the thread ring gage, or nine pitches, whichever is
less. (When linear lead and drunkenness are measured
as individual elements and the sum of these does not
exceed the tolerance specified, the gage is wellwithin
tolerance.)
3.9 Calibration Requirements and Standards
Calibration requirements and standards for X tolerance thread gages, snap gages, and indicating gages;
Z tolerance plain gages and measuring instruments
are given in Table 12 for external product threads,
in Table13 for internal product threads, and in Table
14 for setting gages. See Appendix A for methods of
calibrating and inspecting gages.

NOT GO (HI) functional diameter limit of the product internal thread.

Thread plug gages when applied to the product internal thread may engage onlythe end threads (which
may not be representative of the complete thread).
Entering threads on product are incomplete and permit gage to start. Starting threads on NOT GO (HI)
plugs are subject to greater wear than the remaining
threads. Such wear in combination with the incomplete productthreads permits furtherentry of the
gage. NOT GO (HI) functional diameter isacceptable when the NOTGO (HI) thread plug gageapplied
to the product internal thread does not enter more
than three complete turns. The gage should not be
forced, Special requirements such as exceptionally
thin or ductile material, small number of threads, etc.,
may necessitate modification of this practice.
4.2.2Basic Design. To better check the maximum functional diameter limit, the flank contact is
reduced by truncating the major diameter, and the
length of the gaging element, where practica1,'is less
than that of the GO gage.
4.1.12 Identification. The GO thread plugs

be approximately central with the center line of the

thread groove. See Fig. 5.
4.4.1 PurposeandUse. The thread snap gage

with two NOT GO (HI) segments or two NOT GO
(HI) rolls inspects the NOT GO (HI) functional diameter limit, B I ,of product internal thread. Thesetting of the NOT GO(BI) segments or rolls represents
the maximum functiond diameter limit of the product internal thread. In applying the thread snaplimit
gage, the NOT GO (HI) functional diameter is acceptable when gaging elements do not pass the product thread.
Internalthreadsnap
gages by design must have
an outside diameter of gaging elements below minor
diameter of internalthread in orderto enter.The
gage checks the NOT GO functional diameter limit
by sensing the resistance to contact after being set to
master.
The NOT GO (HI)thread snap gage will also indicate out-of-roundness of the pitch cylinder for 180
deg. ovality by using the gage at different diametral
locations on internal
thread.
TheNOTGO(H1)

snap gage will also check for taper of pitch cylinder by
using the gage at different locationsaxially on internal
thread.
4.4.6 Runout. The pitch and major cylinders of

the threaded portion of the NOT GO (HI) segments
or rolls shall not exceed the runout as determined by
measurements of runout (full-indicator reading) on
each gaging member, with respect to the pitch cylinder. Runout shallnot exceed one-half the X gage
major diameter tolerance.
4.4.2 Basic Design. In order that the NOT GO

(HI) thread snap gage may effectively check the NOT
GO (HI) functional diameter limit, the flank contact
is reduced by truncating the thread on segments and
rolls. As the design of the segments and rolls are different with each gage manufacturer, the number of
threads engaged in product thread will vary, Usually,
the number of pitches engaged is approximately two.
Internal product threads less than 3/ 16 in. in diameter are not practical to check with snap gages.

4 . 7 Thread-Setting Solid Ring Gages

4.7.1 Purpose
and
Use.
Thread-setting ring
gages are used for setting internal thread indicating
and snap gages. GO thread-setting ring gages are
made to the maximum-material limit of the internal
thread specification and NOT GO (HI)
thread-setting
rings to the minimum-material limit. Setting rings
under 3 / 16 in. diameter are too small to be practical.
4.7.8 Pitch Diameter Limitationof Taper. The

taper shall be within gage pitch diameter limits.
4.7.9 Lead and Half-Angle. Lead and half-angle variations shall be within limits specifiedin
Table 7.
4.7.2 Gage Blanks. GO and NOTGO (HI) solid

thread ring gage blanks have been standardized for
various size ranges and pitches. (See ANSI B47.1.)
Length of gage thread is a minimum of four pitches.
4.7.10 Incomplete Threads. The feather edge

at both ends of the thread ring gage shall beremoved.
On gages larger than 1/ 2 in. nominal size, or having
pitches coarser than 20 threadslin., not more than
one complete turn of the end threads shallbe removed
to obtain a full-thread blunt start. On gages 1/2 in.
nominal size and smaller, or having pitches of 20
threadslin. or finer, a 60 deg. chamfer from the axis
of the gage is acceptable in lieu of the blunt start.
4 . 7 . 3 The GO and NOT GO (HI) thread-setting

gage threads are stated in detail below and are summarized in Tables 5, 7, and 11, and Fig. 8.
4.7.4 Thread Crests

4.7.4.1 The minor diameter of the GO setting
ring gage is equal to the minimum minor diameter of
the internal thread.
4.7.11 Identification. TheGO andNOTGO

(HI) thread-setting ring gages should be identified by
nominal size, threadslin., thread series, GO or NOT
GO, class on NOT GO; SETTING, PD, and pitch
diameter.
4.7.4.2 The minor diameter of the NOT GO

(HI) setting ring gage is equal to the maximum minor
diameter of the internal thread.
EXAMPLE:
1/4-20 (or ,250-20) UNC GO SETTING PD.2175
4.7.5 Thread Roots

4.7.5.1 The major diameter of the GO setting
ring gage shall be cleared beyond P/8 width of flat
by either an extension of the flanks toward a sharp
vee or by a clearance cut of substantially P/8 width
and approximately central.

4.7.5.2 The major diameter of the NOT GO

(HI) setting ring gage shall be cleared by a clearance
cut of substantially 0 . 2 5 ~width and approximately
central. The form is optional; it may clear a P/8flat
if not undercut.
4.8.1 Purpose and Use. The GO and NOT GO

(HI) thread gages of all designs are cleared at the root
but do not check the minor diameter of the product
internalthread.
Accordingly, the following paragraphs (4.8.1 through 4.8.6) describe types of plain
diameter gage or precision instruments used to check
the maximum- and minimum-material limits of the
minor diameter.
4.7.6 Runout of Pitchand Minor Diameter

Cylinders for Sizes 3/16 in. andLarger. The
pitch and minor cylinders of setting ring gages shall
not exceed the runout as stated hereinafter. The permissible minimum effective minor diameter as determined by runout (full-indicator movement) with respect to the pitch cylinder subtracted from measured
minor diameter shall not beless than the specified
minimum minor diameter minus the sum of the W
gage tolerances for pitch and minor diameter for GO
setting gages, and minus twice the sum for NOT GO
(HI) setting gages.
4.8.2 GO and NOT GO Plain Cylindrical Plug

Gages (Table 2 - Gage 3.1). Plug gages shall
be made to Z tolerances and as shown in Fig. 9. GO
shall be made to plus tolerance; NOT GO shall be
made to minus tolerance. GO cylindrical plug gage
must enter and pass through the length of the product
without force. NOT GO cylindrical plug must not
enter. See Table 8 for gage tolerances.

or 180 deg. Size range for segment type is approximately 3/ 16 in, to 2-112 in. in diameter. Above 2-112
in., gage contacts are plain diameter rolls. Another
design is the use of prism fingers for 3/ 16 i n , size and
larger with contacts a 180 deg. See Fig. 10 for details. In eachdesign, the gages are set with cylindrical
ring gages, outside micrometers, vernier calipers, or
a gap made with gage blocks and jaw accessories.
Gage contacts are collapsed into tapped hole and released to contact product minor diameter. Dial indicator gages givethe size of the product between minimum and maximum tolerance. Snap gages check the
minor diameter limits by sensing the resistance at
contact after being set to master.
The design of the GO andNOT GO cylindrical

plain plug members has been standardized forvarious
sues, ranges, and pitches. See ANSI B47.1.
.
4.8.3 Identification. The cylindrical gage shall

be marked with the nominal size, threadslin., thread
series, GO or NOTGO, class on NOTGO, and minor
diameter limits.
EXAMPLE:

4.8.4 Precision Instruments (Table 2 - Gage

13). Precision instruments such as dial
calipers, inside
micrometer calipers, pocket slide calipers, and vernier
inside calipers can also be used to measure the minor
diameter of product internal thread.
4.8.6 Identification. After contacts have been

assembled in the snap or indicating gage, the assembledgage should be tagged with the nominal size,
threadslin., thread series, class, and minor diameter
limits.

NOTES:
(1) Tolerances apply to actual diameter of plug or ring. Apply tolerancesin accordance with Table 4.
Symbols XX, X, Y, Z, and ZZ are standard gage tolerance classes.
(2) Used as tolerance on piain cylindrical plug and ring gages to check minor diameter for internal
threads and outside diameter for external threads. Also used for masters for setting indicating
thread gages where design permits.

MAJOR DIAMETER INTERNAL
4.9.1 PurposeandUse. The minimum major

diameter limit of the product internal thread is considered acceptable when the product thread accepts
GO gages. If further gaging is required, 4.9.2 describes
the types of gages used to check the maximum- and
minimum-material limits of the major diameter.
4.10 Functional Indicating Thread Gages

for Internal Thread (Table 2 Gages 4.1 and 4.3)
The GO indicating
thread gage (4.1 and 4.3) inspects the maximum-material GO functional limit and size, A I and Az, and
the NOT GO (HI) functional diameter limit and size,
BI and B2, of product internal thread. By the use of
segments, rolls, or fingers, the gage is also used to
check roundness of pitch cylinder. Some types of
indicating gages are set by using thread-setting ring
gages. See 4.7. Other types may be setwith plain ring
gages or with gage blocks and jaws. Readings indicate the position of product thread within the tolerance range.
4 . 9 . 2 Snapand Indicating Major Diameter

Gages. Gages are made to manufacturers standard
with 55 deg. maximum gage contacts at 180 deg. in
theform of relieved threadcontacts.See
Fig. 11,
sketch (a) for segment type. Size ranges from approximately 3/16 in. to 2-112 in. Above 2-112 in., gage
contacts are thread relieved rolls at 120 deg. See Fig.
11, sketch (b). Another design is the use of conical
contact on onefinger and two best size thread balls
on other contact as shown in Fig. 11, sketch (C). In
each design, the indicating gages are set with cylindrical ring gages, outside micrometers, vernier calipers, or gap made with gage blocks and jaw accessories. Gage contacts are collapsed into tapped hole
and released to contact product major diameter. Dial
indicator gages give the size of the product between
minimum and maximumtolerances. Snap gage checks
the major diameter limit by sensing the resistance at
contact after being set to master.
4.10.2 Basic Design. Indicatinggages have three

contacts at 1.20 deg. or two contacts at 180 deg. Gages
are made with segments, rolls, or fingers with the
length of the functional GO gaging elements equal
to the length of the standard GO thread plug gage.
Internal product threads less than 3/16 in. in diameter are not practical to check with indicating gages.
4 . 9 . 3 Identification. After contacts have been

assembled in the snap or indicating gage, the assembledgage should be tagged with the nominal size,

deg. spacing. The indicating gages with segments or

functional size indicating reading, Z, The indicating gages with cone and vee segments or rolls with
one thread pitch englgement at pitch diameter line,
Fig.13, and thread groove diameter type, Fig.14,
sketch (a) or (b), or both, shown in Fig. 16, sketches
(C) and (d),give the pitch diameter size indicating
reading, X. The difference in the indicator readings,
X - Z, between the two typesof gages givesthe cumulative form differential reading which corresponds to
the pitch diameter equivalent, ADzCZ,for the combination of lead, helix, flank angle, roundness, and taper
variations on the product thread. See Fig. 16.

4.1 3.3.1 Lead (Helix) Differential Reading.
The indicating gage reading, Y, using the full-form
thread segments or rolls with one thread pitch engagement, similar to Figs. 12 and 16, sketch (b), is
compared to the reading, Z, using the functional size
gage shown in Figs. 12 and 16, sketch (a). The difference between the measured values, Y - Z, is the
lead differential reading which corresponds to the
pitch diameter equivalent, A D A , for the lead and
helix variation of the product thread.
4.13 Differential Gaging (Table 2 Gage 4.8)
4.1 3.1 The concept of differential gaging for

product internal screw threads makes use of fundamental geometric theorems that relate directly to size,
position, and form.
For differential gaging, two methods are used for
measuring screw thread size:
(a) GO functional size
(b) pitch diameter (or thread groove diameter)
Only when a screw thread has perfect position and
form [i.e., zero variation in lead (including helical
path), flank angle, taper, and roundness] are these
two measurements equal. Differential gaging is a variables method of in-process inspection, final conformance inspection, or both, that provides the actual
numerical values for both GO functional and pitch
diameter sizes. These are the two extreme sizesof
any product screw thread. One of the sizes, pitch diameter, is the size of the thread pitch diameter with
essentially zero variation in all other threadelements,
while the other size, GO functional size, is the size
of the thread with the effects of all variations in all
other thread elements added to the pitch diameter.
The numerical difference between these two sizes is
called a cumulative thread element variation dfferentia1 and represents the diametral effect of the total
amount of thread element variations.
The inspection process that further refines the total
amount of thread element variation so that the amount

The indicating gage reading, X, using segments or
rolls with cone and vee design,Figs. 13 and 16, sketch
(C),is compared to reading, Y, using the full-form
thread segments or rolls, similar to Figs. 12 and 16,
sketch (b). Both designs have one thread pitch engagement. The difference between the measured values, X - Y, is the flank angle differential reading
which corresponds approximately to the pitch diameter equivalent, A D Z = ,for the combined flank angle
variation on the product thread.

Readings. By the use of full-form thread segments

Flank angle differential variation
4.16.1 Purpose and Use. The optical comparator magnifies and projects the thread profile on a
screen. Internal threads are checked using cast replicas. For best profile image, the threaded item is positioned so that the light is aligned with the thread
lead angle. Since the thread profile is defined in a
plane containing theaxis, a correction factor must be
added to the measured flank angle observed normal
tothe lead angle. For most standard singlelead
threads, the correction factor is lessthan 0 deg., 5 min.
Optical comparators aregenerally fitted with lenses
providing various magnifications between 1OX and
1OOX. Profile dimensions are checked using appropriate linear and angular scales on the machine and
by application of thread profile, radius, and other
overlay charts. Flank angles, thread crest and root
flats, root radius, other groove and ridge dimensions,
and axial plane
pitch and lead may be checked.
Major,
minor, and pitch diameters are identified, then measured using table traverse readouts.

4.15.1 Purpose and Use. One indicating gage
using thread-measuring balls as gaging

inspects the pitch diameter of the internal thread. It
is shown in Fig, 14, sketch (a). Special fixturing and
ball probes may be required when using a three-axis
coordinate measuring machine forinternal
measurement of pitch diameter. See Appendix B9 and

through 4.19is definitely not a complete catalog of
the various types available for inspection purposes.
The gages not described above may be used provided
they adhere to the standard thread practice noted in
this Standard (i.e., truncation, form of thread, tolerance, etc.) and have producer
and
consumer
agreement.
4.17 Profile Tracing Instrument

(Table 2 - Gage IO)
4.17.1Purpose and Use. Theinstrument inspects thread contour to anaccuracy of 0.0002 in. for
1 in. of horizontal and 0.100 in. of vertical travel at
IOOX magnification.
The tracing on the chart paper
may be analyzed
for elements of the thread profile, including depth,
crest width, lead, angle, and radius at root of thread.
The instrument is generally able to check internal
threads of 0.1875 in. and larger at magnifications
from 5X to 1OOX.
5 TYPES OF GAGES FOR PRODUCT

EXTERNAL THREAD
5.1 GO Working Thread Ring Gages

(Table 1 - Gage 1 .I)
5.1.I Purposeand Use. The GO thread ring
gage inspects the maximum-material GO functional
limit, A I ,of product external thread. The GO thread
ring gage when properly set to its respective calibrated
thread-setting plug represents the maximum-material
GO functional limit of the product external thread,
and its purpose is to assure interchangeable assembly of maximum-material mating parts.
Adjustable GO thread ring gages must be set to the
applicable W (see Table 5, Note 2) tolerance-setting
plugs. The product thread must freely enter the GO
thread ring gage for the entire length of the threaded
portion.The GO thread ring gage is a cumulative
check of all threadelements except the majordiameter.

(Table 2 - Gage 14)
4.18.1 Purpose and Use, Measurement of surface roughness on screw thread flanks is usually made
with an instrument which traverses a radiused stylus
across the lay. The stylus displacement due to the
surface irregularities is electronically amplified and
the meter reading displays the arithmetical average
roughness height in microinches (see ANSI B46.1,
Surface Texture: Surface Roughness, Waviness, and
Lay). Some instruments produce a chart of the traced
path which shows the peak-to-valley heights of the
surface irregularities. Special fixturing is required to
position and guide stylus over thread surface.
5.1.2 Basic Design. The maximum-material

limit or GO thread ring gage is made to the prescribed
maximum-material limit of the product thread, and
the gaging length is equal to the thickness of the
thread ring gage.

(Table 2 - Gage 15)
4.1 9.1
Purpose and Use. There are two types
of precision roundness measuring instruments: precision rotary tables and precision spindles. A special
stylus coupled to an electric unit records the out-ofroundness on a circular chart as it traces around the
internal cylindrical surface of the workpiece. The
instrument provides a series of magnifications for
stylus displacement, a filtering system for isolating
lobing from surface irregularities, various means for
centering the amplified stylus trace on the polar chart,
anda selection of rotating speeds. For details on
measuring and forother methods for checking roundness,see ANSI B89.3.1, Measurement of Out-ofRoundness.
5.1.4Thread Form. The specifications forthread

5.1.5Thread Crests. The minor diameter of the
GO thread ring gage shall be equal to the maximum
pitch diameter of the product external thread minus
H I 2 with a minus gage tolerance. This corresponds
to a width of flat of P/4. The thread crests shall be
flat in an axial section and parallel to the axis.

GAGESANDGAGING
FOR
FIG. 18 MAXIMUM-MATERIAL GOFUNCTIONALLIMIT
5.1.9 Leadand Half-Angle Variations. Lead

specified in Table 6 . Misalignment of the threads on
each side of the adjustable slot may not exceed the
lead limits.
5.1.6Thread Roots. The major diameter of the

GO thread ring gage shallbe cleared beyond P / 8
width of flat by either an extension of the flanks toward a sharpvee or by a clearance cut of substantially
P/ 8 width and approximately central. The rootclearance must be such that the maximum major diameter
of the full-form section of the truncated thread-setting plug gage is cleared after the gage has been properly set to size.
5.1.IO Incomplete Thread. Thefeather edge

at bothends of the thread ring gage shall be removed.
O n gages larger than 1/2 in. or with a pitch coarser
than 20 threadslin., remove not morethan one pitch of
the partially formed thread at each end to obtain a
full-thread blunt start. On gages 1/ 2 in. and smaller
or with a pitch of 20 threadslin. or finer, the end
threads may have a 60 deg. chamfer from the axis of
the gage 0 a depth of half to one pitch. This is acceptable in lieu of the blunt start.
5.1.7 Runout of Pitch and Minor Cylinders.

On thread ring gages, an eccentric condition results
in an undersize effective minor diameter, having a
width of flat less than P/4,which may encroach on
the maximum permissible limit for the root profile of
the product external thread.
The permissible minimum effective minor diameter asdetermined by measurements of runout (full-indicator movement) with
respect to the pitch cylinder shall not be less than the
specified minimum minor diameter minus the sum of
the gage tolerances for thepitch and minordiameters,
5.1.I1 Chip Grooves. GO thread ring gages of

the adjustable type do not require chip grooves as
theadjusting slots serve this purpose. Solid working thread ring gages are made with or without
chip grooves, depending uponthe gagedesigner's
requirements.
5.1.8 Pitch Cylinder. Pitch cylinder is transferred by the setting of the thread ring gage to the
applicable truncated setting plug gage.

thread ring gage inspects the NOT GO (LO) functional diameter limit, B I , of product external thread.
The NOT GO (LO) thread ring gage, when properly
set to its respective calibrated thread-setting plug, represents the NOTGO (LO) functional diameter limit of
the product external thread.
The NOTGO (LO) thread
ring gage and NOT GO (LO) threaded segment type
indicating gage are more reliable for checking thinwalled parts which might be deformed bv a NOT GO
(LO) thread snap. NOT GO (LO) thread ring gages
mustbe set to the applicable W tolerance-setting
plugs.
NOT GO (LO) thread ring gages when applied to
the product external thread may engage only the end
threads (which may not be representative of the complete product thread).
StartingthreadsonNOT
GO (LO) thread ring
gages are subject to greater wear than the remaining
threads. Such wear in combination with the incomplete threads at the end of the product thread permit
further entry in the gage. NOT GO (LO) functional
diameter is acceptable when the NOT GO (LO) thread
ring gage applied to the product external threaddoes
not pass over the thread more than three complete
turns.The gage should not be forced. Special requirements such as exceptionally thin or ductile material, small number of threads, etc., may necessitate
modification of this practice.
5.2.2Basic Design. Tobetter check the NOT

GO (LO) functional diameter limit, the flank contact
is less than that of the GO gage, and the length of the
gaging element where practical is less than that of
the GO gage.
5.2.3Gage Blanks. For practical and economic
reasons, the designs and thicknesses of thread ring
gages have been standardized for various size ranges
5.2.4Thread Form. The specifications for thread


5.2.5ThreadCrests. The minimum minor diameter of the NOT GO (LO) thread ring gage shall
be equal to the minimum pitch diameter of the externalthread minus 0.25H withgage tolerance plus.
This corresponds to a width of flat at the crest of the
gage equal to 0.375~.See Table 4.
5.2.6Thread Roots. The major diameter of the
NOT GO (LO) thread ring gage shall clear the product thread by using a clearance cut of 0 . 2 5 ~width
approximately central. TheNOT GO (LO) thread
ring gage shall clear the maximum majordiameter of
the full-form portion of the truncated thread-setting
plug for the NOT GO (LO) thread ring gage. Thus,
contact of the thread gage can occur on the sides of
the threads, but not
on the crest or root. Also, the
effect of angle variation on the fit of the gage with
the product thread is minimized.
5.2.7 Runout of Pitch and Minor Diameter
Cylinders. The permissible minimum effectiveminor diameter, as determined by subtracting runout
measurement (full-indicator movement) with respect
to the pitch cylinder from the measured minor diameter, shallnot beless than the specified minimum
minor diameter minus twice the sum of the gage tolerances for pitch and minor diameters.
5.2.8 Pitch Cylinder. Pitch cylinder is transferred by the setting of the thread ring gage to the
applicable truncated setting plug gage.
5.2.9 Leadand Half-Angle Variations. Lead
specified in Table 6.
5.2.10 Incomplete Thread. The feather edge at
both ends of the thread ring gage shall be removed.
On gages larger than 1/ 2 in. nominal size or having
pitches coarser than 20 threadslin., not more than
one complete turn of the end threads shall be removed
to obtain a full-thread blunt start. On gages 1/2 in.
nominal size and smaller or having pitches of 20
threads/in. or finer, a 60 deg. chamfer from the axis
of the gage is acceptable in lieu of the blunt start.
5.2.11 Identification. The NOT GO (LO) thread
gage should be identified by the nominalsize. threads/

5.1 2 Differential Gaging

5.1 2.1 The concept of differentialgaging
for
product external threads makes use of fundamental
geometric theorems that relate directly to size, position, and form.
For differential gaging, two methods are used for
measuring screw thread size:
(a) GO functional size
(b) pitch diameter (or thread groove diameter)
Only when a screw thread has perfect position and
form [i.e., zerovariationin
lead (including helical
path), flank angle, taper, and roundness] are
these
two measurements equal. Differential gaging
is a variables method of in-process inspection, final conformance inspection, or both, that provides the actual
numerical values for both GO functional and pitch
diameter sizes. These are the two extreme
sizes of any
product screw thread. One of the sizes, pitch diamter, is the size of the thread pitch diameter with essentially zero variation in all other thread elements,
while the other size, GO functional size, is the size of
the thread with the effects of all variationsin all other

cumulative thread element variation differential and
represents the diametral effect of the total amount of

The inspection process that further refines the total
amount of thread element variation so that the amount
of variationfor each individual element becomes
known is called a single thread element variation

5.12.2 Cumulative Thread Element Variation
Differential. Indicating gages have either three contacts at 120 deg. spacing or two contacts at 180 deg.
spacing. The indicating gages with segments or rolls
as shown in Figs. 26 and 30, sketch (a), give the functional size indicating reading, Z. The indicating gage
with cone and vee segments or rolls with one thread
pitch engagement at pitch diameter line, Fig. 27; and
thread groove diameter type, Fig. 28; or both, shown
in Fig. 30, sketches (C)and (d), give the pitch diameter
size indicating reading, X. The difference in the indicator readings, Z-X, between the two types of gages
gives the cumulative form differential reading which
corresponds to thepitch diameter equivalent, AdzC,for
for the combinatin of lead, helix, flank angle, roundness, and taper variations on the product thread. See

Plug Gages
5.13.1 Purpose and Use. Thread-setting plug
gages are used to set adjustable thread ring gages,
check solid thread ring gages, set thread snap limit
gages, and set indicating thread gages. Thread-setting
plug gages are also applied to detect wear on gages
and gaging elements in use. GO thread-setting plug
gages are made to the maximum-material limit of the
external thread specification, while NOT GO (LO)
thread-setting plug gages are made to the minimummaterial limit of the thread specification.
5.12.3.2 Flank Angle Differential Reading.

The indicating gage reading, X, using segments or rolls
with cone and vee design, Figs. 27 and 30, sketch (C),
is compared to the reading, Y , using the full-form
thread segments or rolls, similar to Figs. 26 and 30,
sketch (b). Both designs have one threadpitch engagement. The difference between the measured values,
Y - X, is the flank angle differential reading which
correspondsapproximately
to the pitch diameter
equivalent, Adza, for the combined flank angle variation on product thread.

Readings. By the use of full-form thread segments
or rolls with one thread pitch engagement, similar
to Figs. 26 and 30, sketch (b); cone and vee segments
or rolls, Figs. 27 and 30, sketch (C);or thread groove
diameter type, Figs. 28 and 30, sketch (d), the roundness and taper of pitch cylinder is checked. Rotate
the product between contacts at different axial locations on thread for maximumdifference in roundness
andtaper readings. Twocontacts spaced 180 deg.
apart giveeven lobing out-of-round measurement.
Three contacts spaced 120 deg. apart give odd lobing
out-of-round measurements.
5.13.2 Basic Design. Thread-setting plug gages

are of two standard designs which are designated as
full-form and truncated setting plugs. The full-form

GAGESANDGAGING
FOR
5.1 3.7 Pitch Diameter Limitation of Taper.

The permissible taper shall be back taper (largest diameter at entering end) and shall be confined within
the gage pitch diameter limits.
GO setting plug is one having a width of flat at the crest

equal to P/8.The truncated GO setting plug is the
same as the full-form setting plug except that it is
longer andthe crest of the thread is truncated a
greater amount for one-half the length of the gage
giving a full-form portion and a truncated portion.
See Figs. 31 and 32 and Tables 5, 7, and 11.
5.1 3.8Incomplete Thread. The feather edge at

both ends of the threaded section of the setting plug
shall be removed. On pitches coarser than 28 threads/
in.,not more than one complete turn of the end
threads shallbe removed to obtain afull-thread blunt
start. See Fig. 2. On pitches 28 threadslin. and finer,
a 60 deg. chamfer from the axis of the gage is acceptable in lieu of the blunt start.
5.1 3.3 Gage Blanks. For practical and economic reasons, the lengths of setting plug gages have
been standardized for various size ranges and pitches
(see ANSI B47.1 or Table A4). The length of the full
form and thelength of the truncatedsections are each
at least equal in length to the thickness of the corresponding thread ring gage.
5.1 3.9 Lead Variations. In thecase of truncated

setting plugs, the lead variations present on the fullform portion and the truncated portion of an individual gage shall not differ from each other by more
than 0.0001 in. over any portion equivalent to the
length of the thread ring gage, or nine pitches, whichever is less,The specified tolerance shall be applicable
to the thread length in the mating ring gage or nine
pitches, whichever is smaller. The tolerance on lead
establishes the width of a zone, measured parallel to
the axis of the thread, within which the actualhelical
path must lie for the specified length of the thread.
Measurements will be taken from a fixed reference
point, located at the start of the first full thread, to
a sufficient number of positions along theentire helix
to detect all types of lead variations. The amounts
that these positions vary from their basic (theoretical) positions willbe recorded with due respect to
sign. The greatest variation in each direction [plus
or minus (+)I will be selected, and the sum of their
values, disregarding sign, shall not exceed the tolerance limits specified in Table 7.

thread form of setting plug gages are stated in detail
below and are summarized in Table 5 and Figs. 31
and 32.
5.1 3.5Thread Crests

5.1 3.5.1 The major diameter of the GO fullform setting plug and of the full-form portion of the
truncated GO thread-setting plug is equal to themaximum.major diameter of the product externalthread.
5.1 3.5.2The major diameter of the truncated
portion of the truncated GO thread-setting plug is
equal to the maximum major diameter of the product
external thread minus O.O6Ow+ 0.017~.See Table 5 .
5.1 3.5.3The major diameter of the NOT GO
(LO) full-form setting plug and of the full-form portions of the truncated NOT GO (LO) thread-setting
plug is equal to the maximum major diameter of the
product external thread (same as GO thread-setting
plug). The maximum major diameter of any gage
must correspond toatruncationthat
is not less
than 0.0009 in. (equivalent to a crest width of 0.001
in. flat).
5.1 3.10 Half-Angle Variations. Variations in

half-angle shall be within the limits specified in Table 7.
5.1 3.11 Identification. The GO thread-setting
plug for Class 3A is basic, and is applicable to Class
2A after coating. Accordingly, it isrecommended that
the gagebe
identified by set plug nominal size,
threadslin., threadseries, GO, PD, and pitch diameter.
5.13.5.4 The major diameter of the truncated

portion of the truncated NOT GO (LO) thread-setting pIug is equal to the minimum pitch diameter of
the product external thread plus H/2.
EXAMPLE:
1/4-20 (or .250-20) UNC GO PD.2175
5.1 3.6 Thread Roots. The minor diameter of

thread-setting plug gages shall be cleared beyond a
PI8 width of flat either by an extension of the sides
of the thread toward a sharp vee or by an undercut
no wider than P/8.
The GO thread-setting plug gages for Classes 1A

and 2A are under basic, having a common allowance.
Accordingly, it is recommended that thegage beidentified by set plug nominal size, threadslin., thread
series, GO, PD, and pitch diameter.

Measuring Procedures.
The indicating plain diameter gage inspects the major

diameter of the external thread. After the plain contacts of the indicating gage are set to a plain diameter
setting plug and the dialis read, the gage is placed on
the product thread majordiameter for a second reading. The difference in readings is applied to the value
of the set master to obtain the major diameter size.

or locked segments which unavoidably have small deviations in lead, flank angle, taper, and
roundness.
for softer product thread materials due to the possibility of the wires being forced into the surface of the
thread flanks, This would indicate a smaller thread
size than what actually exists. See Appendix B.
5 . 1 7 Thread Micrometers
(Table 1 - Gages 6, 7, and 14)
5.17.1 Purposeand Use. Thread micrometers
with cone and vee anvils are used to inspect the minimum-material pitch diameter limit and size of external thread. Micrometer can check 180 deg. ovality of
pitch diameter and taper of pitch diameter. Modified
vernier calipers are used similarly.
5.1 9 Optical Comparator and Toolmakers

Microscope (Table 1 - Gage 9)
5.17.2 Basic Design. The depth of thread on

cone and vee is either approximately pitch diameter
contact or the NOT GO (LO) limit profile. Measurements are made in 0 in, to 1.000 in., and 1.000 in. to
2.000 in. diameter ranges. The smallest graduation is
0.0001 in.
5.19.1 Purpose and Use. The optical comparator magnifies and projects the thread profile on a
screen. For best profile image, the threaded item is
positioned so that the light is aligned with the thread
lead angle. Since the thread profile is defined in a
plane including the axis, a correction factor may be
added to the measured flank angle observed normal
tothe leadangle. For most standard single lead
threads, the correction factor is lessthan 0 deg. 5 min.
Optical comparators aregenerally fitted with lenses
providing various magnifications between 1OX and
IOOX. Profile dimensions are checked using appropriate linear and angular scales on the machine and
by the application of thread profile, radius, and other
overlay charts. Other groove and ridge dimensions,
and axial plane pitch and lead may be checked. Major, minor, and pitch diameters are identified, then
measured using table traverse readouts.
5.18 Thread-Measuring Wires

(Table 1 - Gage 8)
5.1 8.1 Purpose and Use. Using a measuring
machine, product thread can be checked using three
measuring wires between product thread andparallel
flat anvils of measuring machine.Wires are best
size thread wire contacting at the thread groove diameter, with two wires on one side and one wire 180
deg. around, This type of measurement checks the
minimum-material groove diameter limit and size.
By rotating the product thread
betweenwires, the
180 deg. ovality of groove diameter is checked. Measuring at different locations axially, the taper of the
groove diameter is checked. It should be recognized
that the measuring force shown for measuring hardened thread gages with wires may not be appropriate
5.19.2 The toolmakers microscope is similar in

function to the optical comparator but does not include screen projection or overlay charts. Magnifications are generally lower than those of optical comparators. Some microscopes have thread profile and
radius templates which are inserted in the eyepiece.

headstock in combination with an axially movable
carriage supporting a sine bar, two work-mounting
centers, electronic thread locating head with a ball
point and a milliammeter for registering the center
position of the ball probes in the thread groove. Ball
point stylus approximates the "best size" thread wire
radius. To extend lead measurements beyond 1 .OOO in.,
gage blocks in 1.000 in. steps are used to displace the
screw thread. Lead measurements accurate to 0.00002
in. are read directly from micrometer scales on headstock.

5 . 2 2 Helical Path Attachment Used With
GO Type Thread Indicating Gage
(Table 1 - Gage 12)
5.22.1 Purpose and Use. To observe the presence of helical path variation with a GO type indicating gage, Fig. 35, the following procedure is used:
( U ) a suitable means is used to lock (restrict) axially the lower gaging element;
(b) the top gaging element is allowed to floatfreely
(axially) on its own stud and at least one full pitch
away from the frame;
(C) the product to be inspected is inserted into the
gaging elements so that theconditions described in (a)
and (b) above are met;
(a) an indicator (usually attached to the comparator) is positioned so that the indicator contact point
locates at the face of the free floating (top) gaging
element;
(e) the product is turned one full revolution. The
presence of helical pathvariation causes the topgaging
element to displace itself axially on its own stud.
Cf) the full-indicator movement is observed.
5.23.1 Purposeand Use. A helical pathanalyzer is a self-contained unit consisting of a motordriven headstock, tailstock, electronic gaging head,
sinebar, follower, pitch blocks, selsyn transmitter
for chart recorder, and operator control panel.
The external workpiece to be measured is mounted
between centers. The motor-driven headstock rotates
the part through three revolutions at one setting. At
the same time, this rotary motion is transmitted to
the chart drive of the recorder. Simultaneously, the
driving ribbonrunning off the headstock actuates
the sine bar laterally on a ball slide in direct proportion to the spindle rotation. The sine bar is set previously to the proper angle for the particular pitch
using the applicable pitch block. The electronic gage
head floats axially on ball slides, the movement being
controlled by constant spring pressure of the sine bar
follower against the sine bar.

stylus coupled to an electric unit records the out-ofroundness on a circular chart as it traces around the
cylindrical surface of the workpiece. The instrument
provides a series of magnifications for stylus displacement, a filtering system for isolating lobing from surface irregularities, various means for centering the
amplified stylus trace on the polarchart, and a selection of rotating speeds. For details on measuring and
for other methods for checking roundness, see ANSI
B89.3.1, Measurement of Out-of-Roundness.

(Table 1 - Gage 15)
5.24.1 Purpose and Use. Measurement of surface roughness on screw thread flanks is usually made
with an instrument which traverses a radiused stylus
across the lay. The stylus displacement due to the
surface irregularities is electronically amplified and
the meter reading displays the arithmetical average
roughness height in microinches (see ANSI B46.1
Surface Texture: Surface Roughness, Waviness and
Lay). Some instruments produce a chart of the traced
path which shows the peak-to-valley heights of the
surface irregularities. Special fixturing is required to
position and guide stylus over thread surface.

Gaging Equipment
5.26.1 The description of the external gages, as
noted in 5.1 through 5.25, is definitely not a complete catalog of the various types available for inspection purposes. The gages not described above may

APPENDIX A
CALIBRATION AND INSPECTION OF LIMIT GAGES, .
SNAP GAGES, INDICATING GAGES, AND MEASURING INSTRUMENTS
A I GENERAL
measurements are made ona pitch-testing machineby

using a hardened steel stylus
with a radius matching the
best size thread ball. Thestylus, which contacts both
the leading and followingflanks, engages selected
complete threads at the pitch
line in a direction parallel
to the axisof the gage.
The measurements are made at both of
ends
the gage
and oneor more positions in between along oneline;
then they are repeated along anotherline at 180 deg.
around thegage. The meanof the two-setsof readings
is takeninorder
to eliminate the effect of any
misalignment of the measuring axis with
respect to the
gage axis. The importance of pitch measurement is
to estimateits effect on functional size. Thediameter equivalent of a pitch variation of 0.0001 in. is
0.00017 in.
Since gages have very small pitch tolerances, the
measurement of pitch by opticalprojection is not
recommended.
There are more ways to calibrate gages than those

briefly described herein. Since this Appendix
covers
only the most commonly used designs of limit, snap,
and indicatinggages, the inspectormay haveto modify
the method described to become applicable. Special
fixturing may be necessary for the small and large
gages.
Specially designed screw thread indicating gages
may at times be more practical for making measurements on thread gage elements than the cumbersome
all-purpose laboratory instruments which may lack
adequate fixturing to do anefficient job.
Before one calibrates, sets, or uses limit, snap, and
indicating gages, they shouldbe cleaned and examined
visually for nicks, burrs, and foreign matter, using a
minimum of 1OX magnification.Defects mustbe
corrected.

A3.1 InternalPitch Diameter Measurement

A3.1.1 Measurement of internal pitch diameter has
seldom been practiced in the United States because
instrumentation has not been readily available. Thus,
the pitchcylinder is transferred to split ringgages from
the GO and NOT GO (LO) thread-setting plugs by
adjustment. Solid working and setting ringgages are
sized by lapping untila light drag
is noticed as they are
screwed on the settingplugs. Sizes under 3/ 16 in. can
only be gaged with plug gages.
A 3 . 1 . 2 The measured pitch diameter on
rings fitted
to a setting plug maybe 0.0001 in. to 0.0002 in. larger
than themeasured pitch diameter on the plugbecause
the pitch diameterequivalents from permissible pitch,
lead, and flankangle tolerances on matched plug and
ring cause some unavoidable discrepancy.
A 3 . 1 . 3 Measurement of internalpitchdiameter
using best size thread ball is restricted to sizes from
3/ 16 in. and larger. Itis measured with ball contacts
monied to caliper jaws and coupled to anindicating
gage. One jaw hasa fixed balland the other jaw
a pair
of floating balls with center spacing of two or more
pitches. The caliperjaws are
usually set to zero on an
X

Reduce this formula to
62 SIZE OF WIRES
In the three-wire method of measuring pitch diameter, hardenedsteel cylinders or wires of appropriate
size are placed in the thread
groove, twoo n one sideof
the screw and one on theopposite side, as shownin Fig.
B1. The contact face of the comparator, measuring
machine, o r micrometer anvilor spindle which is over
the twowires must be sufficiently large in diameteror
width to touch both wires; that is, it must be greater
than thepitch of the thread. It
is best to select-wires of
such a size that they touch the sides of the thread at
points where thegroove is equalto 0 . 5 ~(groove
diameter). This is done so that the measurement of
pitch diameter is least affected by any error in thread
angle. The size of wire which touches exactly at the
groove diameterof a perfect thread of a given pitch is
termed the best size thread wire for that pitch,
The deptha t which a wire of given diameter will rest
in a thread groove depends primarily
on thepitch and
included angle of the thread; and,secondarily, on the
angle made by the helix at the pointof contact of the
wire and the thread, with
a plane perpendicularto the
axis of the screw. Variation in the
lead angle has very
a
small effect in the measurement of groove diameter
with wires. It i s desirable to use one size of wire to
w = 0.57735 X p
(2)
for 60 deg. threads.

On occasion, itmay be necessary when a best size
thread wire is not available to measure pitch diameter
by means of wires of other than the best size. The
minimum size which may be used is limited to that
permitting the wire to project above the crest of the
thread, and the maximum, to that
permitting the wire
to rest on theflanks of the thread just below the crest
and notride on thecrest of the thread. The diameters of
the best size, maximum, and minimum wires for 60
deg. threads are given in Table BI.
B 3 METHODS OF MEASURING WIRES

CONSIDERING THE EFFECT
OF DEFORMATION
Measurement of the pitch diameter of a threadgage

by means of the three-wire method is most conveniently
made when sufficient forceis applied to the wires by
the measuring instrument td properly align the wires
and gage. Since a wire touches a minute area on each

and the measuring force
is made. Optimum compensation for the deformations
which occur inthe measurement of pitch diameter would require the calibration
of
wires with a different cylinder
or force for
every thread
diameter-pitch combination, Calibration of wires involving such a variety
of conditions is neither practical
nor necessary, as themeasurement procedure which is
generally followed will assure uniformity of values. It
is desirable to keep the effects of deformation small.

discrepancies inthe 2 in.to 4 in. size range arerelatively
unimportant because thesesizes have larger tolerances.
For sizes smaller than 0.138 in. it is necessary to
calibrate wires against a0.125 in. cylinder which has a
radius morenearly equal to the
radius of curvature of
the thread flank.
thread flank, the deformationof the wire and thread

will be sufficientlylarge to requiresometype
of
correction and the measuring force
must be limited to
avoid permanent deformation
of the wire and gage. As
an indication of the need for compensation for the
deformations, it can be shown that the totaleffect on
pitch diameterof the deformationsof three wires and a
1/2-20 threadgage is 0.00019 in. when measured under
2.5 lbforce.It is practical to compensate for the major
portion of this deformation by a simple procedure
described in the following paragraphs.
(a) It would be possible to prepare tables of the
deformation of all standardizedsizes ofgages, but this
would not take care of special combinations of pitch
and diameter. Another method
of compensating for
the deformations is to measure the threadwires under
conditions which provide deformations equivalent to
those which occur whenthe wires are used to measure a
thread. This canbe accomplished by the measurement
of the thread wires between a flat anvil and a cylinder
with the axes of cylinder and wire at 90 deg. to each
other if an appropriate selection of cylinder diameter

As previously noted, the force applied by the
measuring device must be limitedto avoid permanent
deformation of the wires or gage, or both. Even for
largediameterthreads
havingcoarse
pitches, the
maximum compressive stress at thepoints where a wire
touches the thread flanksis high, and itincreases to a
point where permanent deformationmay occur forthe
small diameter threads.
It therefore becomes necessary
to reduce the measuring force prcgressively
as thesizes
of threads decrease. See Table B2.
B 4 METHODS OF MEASUREMENT
USING WIRES
The computed value for the pitch diameter of a

screw thread gage obtained from readings over wires
will depend uponthe accuracy of themeasuring
instrument used, the measuring force, and the value
of
the diameter of the wires used in the computations. In
order to measure the pitch diameter
of a screw thread
gage to an accuracy of 0.0001 in., strict adherence to
the methods specified is required.
(a) The best size thread wires shall comply with
the specifications listed in B2. The diameter of the
wires must be known to within 0.000020 in.
(b) The measurement over wires should be made
with a measuring instrument which reads directly to
0.000010 in.and hasflatparallelcontactswithin
0.000004 in.
(C) A wire presses on the flanks of a 60 deg. thread
with theforcethat
is applied tothe wire by the
measuringinstrument.Inasmuchasthe
wire and
thread deform at the contact areas, it is desirable to
determine thesize of the wire under conditions which
will compensatefor thisdeformation. It is recommended for standard practice that diameters of wires
be measured between a flat contact and a hardened and
accurately ground and lappedsteel cylinder having a
diameter in accordance with Table B1 with the measuring force specified in Table B2. The plane of the flat

contact should be parallel

to the contact
element of the
cylinder within 0.000004 in.
T o avoid a permanent deformationof the material
of the wire or gages, it is necessary to limit the contact
force and, forconsistent results, a uniform practiceas
to contactforceinmaking
wire measurements of
hardened screw threads gages is necessary. The recommended force for external pitch diameter measurements is given in Table B2.
The use of other contact forces
will cause adifference
inthereadingoverthe
wires, andto completely
compensate for such errorsis impractical. Variations
in diameter around thewire should be determined by
rotating thewire between a sphericalor flat measuring
contact and ananvil having the form of a 60 deg. vee
groove. Variations in diameter along thewire should
be determinedby measuring between a sphericalor flat
contact and a cylindrical anvil.
(C) The wires should be free to assume their positions
in the threadgrooves without restraint. (The practice
of holding wires in position with elastic bands can
introduce errors in measurement.)
(d) To assure accurate values for pitch diameter
measurement, the measured value should be given to
five decimal places.
(e) Measurements shall be standard at 6 8 O F.
B5 STANDARD SPECIFICATION FOR

WIRES AND STANDARD PRACTICE
IN MEASUREMENT OF WIRES..
OF 60 deg. THREADS
The following specifications represent present practice relative to thread-measuring wires.

(a) Composition. The wires shall be accurately
finished steel cylinders,
the hardnesssfwhich shall not
be less than that corresponding
to a Knoop indentation
number of 776 minimum. The surface.textureshall not
exceed the equivalent of 2 pin. aa (arithmetic average).
176


--`,,`,,``,,`,,,`,,`,,,,```,`,,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
(6) Length of Wires. The working surfaceshall beat

least 1.OOO in. in length. The wire may be provided with
a suitable means of suspension.
(C) Diameter of Wires. One setof wires shall consist
of three wires which shall have the same diameter
within 0.00001 in., and this common diametershall be
within 0.00002 in. of that corresponding to the best
size for the pitch for which the wires are tobe used.
Wires shall be measured between a flat contact and a
hardened and accurately finished cylinder having a
surface texture not over 2 pin. aa. The measuring
forces and cylinder diameter shall be per Table B2.
(d) Variation in Diameter. Variations in diameter
along a wire (taper) over the 1.000 in, interval a t the
center of its length shall not exceed 0.00001 in. as
determined by measuring between a spherical or flat
contact and a cylindrical contact.
Variations from true cylindrical contour of a wire
(out-of-roundness, or n o n c i p l a r cross section) over
its 1.OOO in. central interval shall exceed
not
0.00001 in.
as determinedby measuring between a sphericalor flat
measuringcontactanda
well-finished 60 deg. vee
groove. For the 80 pitch wire, the spherical contact is
attached to the tip
of a 55 deg. or less cone, or the flat
contact is formed by truncating a 55 deg. or less cone
point to an approximate0.010 in. width.
(e) Container and Marking. A suitable container
shall be provided for each set of wires. The pitch for
which the wires are the bestsize and the diameterof
the 1.000 in. central interval
of the wires, as determined
by measurements under standard conditions asspecified, shall be marked on the container.The measuring
forceand C correctionsshallbemarkedinthe
container.

B9 THREAD BALLS
The quantityC is a constant fora given thread angle

and, when the wires are used for measuring threadsof
the pitch and angle for which they are thebest size,
the pitch diameteris obtained by the simple operation
of subtracting this constant from the measurement
taken over the wires. In fact, when best size thread
wires are used, this constant is changed very little by a
moderate variation or error in the
angle of the thread.
Consequently, the constants for the various
sets of
wires in use may be tabulated, thus saving a considerable amount of time in the inspection of gages.
However, when wires of other than the best size are
used, this constantchanges appreciably with a variation
in the angle of the thread.
With the exceptionof large pitchscrews, it hasbeen
shown that variation angle
in from thebasic size causes
no appreciable change in the quantity
C for the best
size thread wires. (For angle variation of 2 deg., C
increases by 0.00004in. for 16 threads/in., and0.00008
in. for 8 threads/in.) On the other hand, when a wire
near the maximum or minimum allowable
size is used,
a considerable change occurs, and the values of the
cotangent and the cosecant of the actual measured
half-angle are to be
used. It is apparent, therefore, that
there is a great advantage in using wires very closely
approximating thebest size. For convenience in carrying out computations, the
value Cfor pitches as shown
in Table B1 should be used.
B8 SETTING MEASURING INSTRUMENTS

WITH VARIABLE MEASURING FORCE
Recommended practicefor setting measuring instruments using gage blocks is as follows.

(a) Wipe anvils and gage blocks free from dirt and
dust.
B9.1 Best Size Thread Balls Specifications
Thread balls shall meet the following requirements:

(a) for a 60 deg. thread, the best size thread ball
sizes are identical to the best size thread wire sizes

and are given in Table BI;
(b) one set of best size thread balls consists of
three hardened steelballs that have the same diameter
within 0.00001 in., and their common diameter should
be within 0.00002 in. of the correspondingbest size
thread ball forthe specified pitch. The sphericity
should not exceed 0.00001 in,
B9.2 Method of Measuring Thread Balls
The following procedures shallbe used when measuring pitch diameter threadballs,
(a) In order to measure the pitch diameterof a 60
deg. thread ring gage to an accuracy of within 0.0001
in. by means of thread balls,it is necessary to know the
thread ball diameters to within 0.00002 in. Thus, it is
necessary to use a measuring instrument that reads
accurately to 0.000010 in.
(b) The threadball presses on the flanks-of
a 60 deg.
thread with the force thatis applied to the threadball
by the measuring instrument. Since the thread
ball and
thread deform at the contact areas, the
size of the
thread ball should be determined under conditions
which nearly compensate for this deformation. The
thread ball should be measured between parallel, flat,
hardened steel contacts which are set with calibrated
gageblocks. The contact should be parallelwithin
0.000004 in.
(C) To avoid exceedingthe elastic limitof the thread
balls and thread gages and to prevent excessive deformation compensation,it is necessary to recommend
a uniform practice for measuring force for the cahbra-

than thebasic pitch diameter
of the product thread

diameter is obtained by adding the indicator reading

to a plain ring
gage permits less uncertainty indeformation compensation. The recommended measuring force
