Acme screw threads are now extensively used for a variety of ‘purposes. Long-length Acme threads are used for controlled movements on machine tools, testing machines, jacks, aircraft flaps, and conveyors. Short-length threads are used on valve stems, hose connectors, bonnets on pressure cylinders, steering mechanisms, and camera Jens movement. The Standards Committee on the Standardization and Unification of Screw Threads, Bl, ‘was organized in June 1921, with the Society of Automotive Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers as joint sponsors under the procedure of the American Standards Association (ASA), now the American National Standards Instiute (ANSI), This ‘Committee was reorganized in May 1929, and its work was divided among five Subcommittees as follows: No. | on Scope and Arrangement of American Standard; No, 2 on Terminology ‘and Form of Thread, Except Gages; No. 3 on Special Threads and Twelve Pitch Series, Except Gages; No. 4 on Acme Threads, Except Gages; and No. 5 on Screw Thread Gages. ‘National standardization of Acme screw threads in the United States was begun in 1932 when Subcommittee No. 4 on Acme Threads of Standards Committee BI held its first ‘meeting in New York. A report was presented on the types of Aeme threads and the range of sizes and pitches in use in this country. It was prepared by C. W. Bettcher with the ‘assistance of F. L. Woodcock. This report developed into a draft standard and was finally approved as an American Standard with the designation ASA BI.3-I941. It contained a section of introductory notes, and tables covering general purpose screws and general purpose ruts, basic dimensions of general purpose Acme threads with special and standard pitches, basic dimensions of 29 deg stub thread, measurements over three wires for Acme threads, basic dimensions of 60 deg stub thread, and basic proportions for modified square thread. In December 1942, to meet the war emergency, the National Aireraft Standards Committee of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce requested the ASA to consider the setting up ‘of an American War Standard for special Acme screw threads for use in aircraft construction. Recognizing the vital importance of aircraft production to the war effort, the ASA initiated this project at once and organized a Special Committee to develop the Standard. Drafts of this proposed American War Standard were submitted, first on behalf of the National Aircraft Standards Committee and later by D. R. Miller of the National Bureau of Standards. The latter draft, which was submitted also to the Interdepartmental Screw Thread Committee established by the U.S. Departments of War, Navy, and Commerce, served as the basis for the development of the American War Standard. The final draft, dated November 20, 1944, ‘was unanimously approved by the members of the ASA War Committee on Acme Threads ‘and the General ASA War Committee on Screw Threads. This draft received final ASA approval on January 9, 1945, and was designated American War Standard B1.5-1945. Tn April 1946, the Subcommittees of the Standards Committee were reorganized to take lover the job of the ASA War Commitces. Subcommittee No. 2 on Acme and Stub Acme ‘Threads revised the War Standard on Acme Screw Threads and, on March 31, 1948, distributed the January 1948 draft to industry for criticism and comment.‘The final draft of the proposed revision to the 1945 Edition of this Standard was completed in June 1951. It was submitted to Standards Committee B1 for letter ballot on September 17, 1951, and was approved with minor amendments. Following approval by the sponsor ‘organizations, the proposed Standard was submitted to the ASA for approval and designation as an American Standard. This was granted May 7, 1952. ‘The next revision added the no allowance Class 5G thread. Approval by ANSI was granted on March 26, 1973. Corrections were made in the revision approved May 11, 1977, Data for Classes 5G, SC, and 6G was transferred to Appendices D and E for reference, and this revision was approved by ANSI on January 11, 1988. The present revision to the Standard includes the addition of gage tables and drawings for Gaging Systems 21, 22, and 23, table changes to conform to ASME B1.30M, lead and angle tolerances for product threads, measurement uncertainty values for Acme thread gages, and descriptions and drawings for indicating gages. The pitch diameter compensation table and text were deleted and replaced with data on standard gage blanks for gage length with text on pitch diameter adjustment for gage length over two diameters. Table values of gage dimensions for general purpose and centralizing Acme threads were added, along with formulas to determine diameters of multiple-start threads. Recommendation in the use of formulas and examples to calculate pitch diameter measurement over wires was revised Additionally, the Appendix contains revision of alternate centralizing Acme threads and of ‘multiple-start threads, and was expanded to include ball measurement of internal pitch diameter, limit gaging of setting ring gages, gaging of problem areas, Acme tolerances over 5 in., and means for determining limits of size for special diameter/pitch combinations. ‘This Standard was approved by the American National Standards Institute on December 9, 1997.ASME STANDARDS COMMITTEE B1 Screw Threads {The following isthe roster of the Committee at the time of approval ofthis Standard.)

The latter threads are used to provide relatively fast traversing ‘motion when necessary. “The three classes (2G, 3G, and 4G) of general purpose threads have clearances on all diameters for Free movement, This thread relies on the thread flanks to maintain concentric operation. ‘The three classes of centralizing threads have @ limited clearance at the major diameters of the external and internal threads so that a bearing at the major diameter maintains approximate alignment of the thread axis and prevents wedging on the flanks of the threads. For any combination of the three classes of threads covered in this Standard, some end play or backlash will result, This is unavoidable for interchangeable products. When backlash or end play is objectionable, Some mechanical means should be provided to eliminate the condition. In any case, sufficient end play must be Teft to provide a close running fit. In addition to limiting dimensions for the standard series of diameters and pitches of Acme single-start threads, tables of tolerances, in terms of pitch and diameter, provide for a wide choice of diameters for fo given standard pitch. By using the formulas for diameter and pitch increments the pitch diameter toler- fnces for special diameters and pitches can be deter- mined for each class. Formulas and data are also provided for allowances on extemal threads and major fand minor diameter allowances and tolerances. “The Appendices provide text and dimensions on the following: (a) Alternate Centralizing Aome Threads. Appendix ‘A uses the minor diameter to ensure concentric oper- ation. (b) Multiple-Start Acme Threads. Appendix B in- cludes formulas for limits of size. Multiple-tart threads may require additional allowances andlor tolerances for satisfactory operation. {(c) General Purpose Acme Threads, Class 5G. See ‘Appendix C.

The line bisecting this 29 deg angle shall be perpendicular to the axis of the screw thread. 22 Pitch and Lead of Thread The pitch of the thread is the distance, measured Parallel to its axis, between corresponding points on adjacent thread forms. The lead of a thread is the ‘ACME SCREW THREADS distance traversed in one revolution of a screw thread. On multiple-start threads, the lead equals pitch multiplied by the number of starts, 2.3 Height of Thread ‘The basic height of the thread is equal to one-half of the pitch. 2.4 Thickness of Thread ‘The basic thickness of the thread profile at the pitch line is one-half of the pitch. 2.5 Allowance (Minimum Clearance) at Major and Minor Diameters ‘A minimum diametral clearance is provided at the ‘minor diameter of all threads by establishing the maxi- ‘mum minor diameter of the extemal thread 0.020 in. less than the basic minor diameter for 10 threads/in, and coarser, and 0.010 in. less for finer pitches. ‘A minimum diametral clearance at the major diameter is obtained by establishing the minimum major diameter Of the intemal thread 0.020 in. greater than the basic ‘major diameter for 10 threads/in. and coarser, and 0.010 in, greater for finer pitches. 2.6 Chamfers and Fillets Extemal threads may have the crest comers chamfered at an angle of 45 deg with the axis to a maximum depth of P/15. This corresponds to a maximum width of chamfer flat of 0,0945P. The internal and extemal threads may have optional fillets; see Fig. 3. 2.7 Basic Thread Form Dimensions ‘The basic dimensions of the Acme thread form for the most generally used pitches are given in Table 1. ‘The basic thread profile is symmetrical and is illustrated in Fig. 1. Design profiles are shown in Fig. 2. 2.8 General Purpose Standard Acme Thread Series ‘A selected series of diameters and associated pitches, of Acme threads, listed in Table 2, are recommended as preferred. These diameters and pitches have been carefully selected to meet present needs with the fewest number of items in order to reduce to a minimum the inventory of both tools and gages.

Each user is free to select the classes best adapted to his particular needs. It is suggested that extemal and intemal threads of the same class be used together for general purpose assemblies, Class 2G being the preferable choice. If less backlash is desired, Classes 3G and 4G are provided 2.10 Basic Diameters ‘The maximum major diameter of the extemal thread is basic and is the nominal size for all classes. The minimum pitch diameter of the internal thread is basic and is equal to the basic major diameter minus the basic thread height, h. The basic minor diameter is the ‘minimum minor diameter of the intemal thread. It is equal to the basic major diameter minus twice the basic thread height, 2h. 2.11 Length of Engagement ‘The tolerances specified herein are applicable to all lengths of engagement not exceeding twice the basic ‘major diameter. 2.12.1 Tolerance Zone Definition. The definition of the Acme thread is dimensioned by pitch diameter reference locations in perfect 29 deg thread forms with crest and root limited by the corresponding major and minor diameters with comer fillet limitations. This tolerance zone between the maximum and minimum thread profiles defines the thread. There are additional limitations, within the tolerance zone, on the elements flank angle and lead. 2.12.2 Tolerance Direction. The tolerances on diameters of the internal thread are plus, being applied from the minimum sizes to above the minimum sizes. ‘The tolerances on diameters of the external threads are minus, being applied from the maximum sizes to below the maximum sizes. 2.12.3 Tolerances on Major and Minor ters, The tolerances on major and minor diameters of external and intemal threads are based on the data in Table 3; the values are listed in Table 4, 2.124 Tolerance on Pitch Diameter. The pitch diameter tolerances for an external and intemal thread ofa given class are the same. These tolerances determine the tolerance zone included between the maximum and minimum boundary limits. The tolerance Classes 2G, 3G, and 4G are given in Tables 5, 6, and 7.

The basic thread profile is symmetrical and is illustrated in Fig. 1. Design profiles are shown in Fig. 4. 3.8 Standard Centralizing Acme Thread Series A selected series of diameters and associated pitches of Acme threads, listed in Table 15, are recommended 2 fas preferred. These diameters and pitches have been carefully selected to meet present needs with the fewest ‘number of items in order to reduce to a minimum the inventory of both tools and gages. If other combinations ‘of diameter and pitch are required, calculate thread dimensions in accordance with formulas in para. 2.16 and Tables in Appendix H for sizes over 5 3.9 Classification and Tolerances, Centralizing ‘Acme Threads ‘There are established herein three classes of threads for centralizing Acme threads 2C, 3C, and 4C. ‘These classes, together with the accompanying speci- fications, are for the purpose of ensuring interchangeable ‘manufacture of Acme threaded parts. Each user is free to select the classes best adapted to his particular needs. It is suggested that external and internal threads of the same class be used together for centralizing assem- blies, Class 2C providing the maximum end play or backlash, If less backlash or end play is desired, Classes 3C and 4C are provided. The requirement for a centralizing fit is that the sum of the major diameter tolerance plus the major diameter allowance on the internal thread, and the major diameter tolerance on the external thread, shall equal or be less than the pitch diameter allowance on the extemal thread.FIG. 4 DESIGN PROFILE FOR EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL CENTRALIZING ACME THREADASME 815-1997 ‘ACME SCREW THREADS (om oxo aun sou 8240 {nu jo mounp yard wore nu jo amewsIp Youd wns ase yo srowerp soujus wnatuIN egies es NY {nu jo steep Jou WMEIUT N anu yo sr0wNp sounu wn xOyy } l ounmoye srewsep Yad H84-2UD seieump yous 9909 Detail of options! fier SN YY masse jo ssreumyp ysie WUD -moioe jo seurep Yate WRN, Detail offer on ‘masoe jo siounyp sofew unuuIy maiot jo si0ump J0fow WNW, sxewyp 20f0w (2909) }eUWON, anu yo ssvowep Jojous nut RW, RG SS Detail of chamfer Exvernal Thread (Serom) eouewone snewerp J0f0s jr 400 P= pitch ‘n= atic thread height 2B FIG. 5 DISPOSITION OF ALLOWANCES, TOLERANCES, AND CREST CLEARANCES FOR CENTRALIZING SINGLE-START ACME THREADS, CLASSES 2C, 3C, AND 4CASME B15-1997 ‘ACME SCREW THREADS TABLE 12 CENTRALIZING ACME SINGLE-START ‘SCREW THREADS, BASIC DIAMETERS AND THREAD DATA Centralizing Casses ond aC Pom Basic Basle Nominal Basic Pitch Minor ‘Thickness — Height Sizes, Threads/ Major Diameter, Diameter, nPich of = Al in Diameter, Dy 2, Pitch, “Une, Thread, Cusses on > Duh —D-2h_ Pt PR P2057 deg min % 18 0.2500 0.2188 0.1875 0.06250 09125 o0sI25 00m == «SC Sets «ozs = oz ao7nes onasr1 uas7) anaes ke 12 03750-03533 02017 ooeasaoonie? © Omto? © onsos kD Ye == «12087503858 03542 Oeaa OusIE?

Similarly, ‘a Class 3C external thread can be used interchangeably with a Class 3C or 4C internal thread, but only a Class 4C intemal thread can be used with a Class 4C extemal thread. For sizes over 5 in. see Table Hi. 3.10 Basic Diameters ‘The maximum major diameter of the extemal thread is basic and is the nominal size for all classes. The imum pitch diameter of the intemal thread is basic for all classes and equal to the basic major diameter minus the basic thread height. The minimum minor diameter of the intemal thread for all Classes is 0.1P above basic. Basic minor diameter is equal to basic ‘major diameter minus twice the basic thread height. (See Fig. 5 and Table 12.) 3.11 Length of Engagement ‘The tolerances specified herein are applicable to all lengths of engagement not exceeding twice the nominal ‘major diameter. 3.12 Tolerances 3.12.1 Tolerance Zone Definition.

The tolerances on diameters of the internal thread are plus, being applied from the minimum sizes to above the minimum sizes. ‘The tolerances on diameters of the external threads ‘are minus, being applied from the maximum sizes to below the maximum sizes. 3.12.3 Tolerances on Major and Minor Diame- ters, The tolerances on major and minor diameters of external and internal threads are based on the data in Table 13; the values are listed in Table 14. 3.12.4 Tolerances on Pitch Diameter. The pitch diameter tolerances for an external and internal thread of a given class are the same. These tolerances determine the tolerance zone included between the maximum and minimum boundary limits. The tolerance Classes 2C, 3C, and 4C are given in Tables 5, 6, and 7. The ratios Of the pitch diameter tolerance of Classes 2C, 3C, and 4C are 3.0, 1.4, and 1, respectively. Pitch diameter tolerance is equal to the pitch increment plus the diameter increment. Class 2C pitch diameter tolerance = 0.030VP + 0.006VD Class 3€ pitch diameter tolerance = 0.014VP + 0.0028VD Class 4C pitch diameter tolerance = 0.010VP + 0.002D where D = nominal major diameter P = pitch Pitch diameter tolerance on product threads includes the effects of all variations in thread form and profile including lead (helix), flank angle, taper, and roundness. ‘When gaged with Go/Not Go limit gaging per this Standard, the functional diameter/size is controlled within these limits over the length of engagement, 3.12.5 Tolerance on Lead. When measurement is specified, the allowable lead variation shall not exceed (0.258618 times one-half the pitch diameter tolerance for Classes 4G and 4C.

These values apply to all classes. ‘They approximate a change in functional diameter close to one-half the 4G pitch diameter tolerance. The pitch diameter equivalent was calculated as follows: approxi- mately 0.018P times sum of the two flank angle varia- tions in degrees, regardless of sign. ‘Tolerances for 14.5 deg flank angle for external and intemal threads are given in Table 8, 3.12.7 Tolerance on Circular Runout. When ‘measurement is specified, the circular runout (ull indica- tor movement) between the major cylinder and the pitch cylinder of the extemal thread or the minor cylinder and pitch cylinder of the internal thread shall ‘not exceed the external thread pitch diameter allowance given in Table 9.

The cumulative form variations of the thread characteristics such as lead, flank angle, taper, and roundness is confined within the maximum- and minimum-material limits. Major diameter is inspected on the external thread ‘and minor diameter on the intemal thread. (c) System 23: Provides for interchangeable assembly with the functional size contro! at maximum-material limit within the length of the ASME B47.1 gage blanks and also control of the minimum-material size limits over the length of the full thread. The magnitude of the other thread characteristics such as lead, flank angle, taper, roundness, and runout are measured to be within the specified limits. Only thread characteristics in Sys- tem 23 for which requirements or limitations are speci- fied must be evaluated for System 23 compliance. Major diameter and minor diameter are measured. (d) Agreement between parties for modification of the gaging requirements shall be on procurement con- tract. (¢) When no length of engagement is specified on Procurement contract, use gage blanks in accordance with ASME B47.1. The length should be 3 pitches for Go gage. 4.1 Measurement Uncertainty Estimates Measurement uncertainty is inherent in alll types of measurements. The measurement uncertainty values resented in Table 16 are the best estimated values currently available for the variation in the dimensions of gages when the gage characteristics are measured. ‘These variations are inherent in the gage measuring‘ACME SCREW THREADS Upper limit for ‘gagemaker's ‘measured value ASME 815-1997 Upper limit for user's ‘measured value Uncertainty value (Gagemaker's ‘User's ‘tolerance, verification tolerance Uncertainty value Lower lit for kor's measured value Lower limit for user's ‘measured value FIG.6 GAGE ACCEPTANCE USING MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY techniques and equipment. Measurement uncertainty values for lead and flank angle apply to measurements of variables gage segments or rolls as well as to fixed limit gages. ‘The measurement uncertainty values are based on the use of laboratory grade instruments, accepted mea ‘surement techniques, and a temperature span of 66°F to 70°F (18.9°C to 21.1°C). They do not increase gage tolerances. They recognize that tabulated tolerance limits ‘are not absolute when size is in dispute. 42 Application ‘The application of measurement uncertainty is illus- trated in Fig. 6. Measurement values are plus/minus. ‘The gage manufacturer shall make the gage within applicable tabulated gage (gagemaker’s) tolerance. How- ever, if the customer measures the gage outside of tolerance, but within the user's verification tolerance, the gage shall be acceptable. See Fig. 6. Parties shall not round measured values into tolerance zone if the next decimal place results in value outside these zones 43 Gage Blanks ‘Use gage blanks in accordance with ASME B47.1 (see ‘Table 18) unless otherwise specified in the procurement contract. 31 44 Gage Tolerances ‘Tolerances for the thread elements of Go and Not Go thread gages, working and setting, for general purpose Acme threads, are given in Table 17. 44.1 Tolerances on Pitch Diameter. The pitch diameter tolerances for gages for Classes 2G, 3G, and 4G, extemal and internal threads, are given in Table 17. See Appendix E4 or Fé for the wire or ball measure ment of pitch diameter on gages with large lead angles, approximately 5 deg and larger. 4.42 Tolerances on Major and Minor Diame- ters. The tolerances for the major diameter of thread plug and minor diameter of the thread ring gages for general purpose Acme threads are given in Table 17. 4.43 Tolerances on Lead.

(2) These pitch diameter tolerances for thread gages are not cumulative; they do not include tolerances on lead and on halt-angle. 44.4 Tolerances on Half Angle of Thread. The tolerances shall apply to both the half angle and the optical projected half angle of gage threads. They are specified in Table 17 for the various pitches. This insures that the bisector of the included angle will be perpendicular to the axis of the thread within proper limits. The local deviations from the true thread form caused by such imegularities as convex or concave Sides of threads, or slight projections on the thread form, shall not exceed the tolerance permited on angle Of thread. The flank angle tolerances apply to the actual thread flank contact length between gages or between ‘gage and product. When flank angles are measured by ‘optical projection, see Appendix. G2 for correction from ‘normal to axial flank angle. 4.45 Functional Size. Functional diameter in- cludes the effects of all variations in pitch diameter, thread form, profile, and length of engagement. There- fore for limit gaging the functional diameter size has the same limits as pitch diameter size. For a measured pitch diameter to be acceptable at the maximum-material 2 size of extemal or intemal thread, the thread form must be perfect. 4.4.6 End, Partial, or Entry Threads. The partial or incomplete entry/end threads of all general purpose ‘Acme thread gages above 0.500 in. shall be removed bby convolution to a full form.
