General Purpose Stub Acme <strong>Threads</strong><br />

Pitch = P = 1 ÷ No. threads per inch, n Pitch = P = 1 ÷ No. threads per inch, n<br />

Basic thread height h = 0.5P Basic thread height h = 0.3P<br />

Basic thread thickness t = 0.5P Basic thread thickness t = 0.5P<br />

Basic flat at crest F cn = 0.3707P (internal<br />

thread)<br />

Basic flat at crest F cs = 0.3707P − 0.259 ×<br />

(pitch dia. allowance on ext. thd.)<br />

F rn = 0.3707P − 0.259 × (major dia. allowance<br />

on internal thread)<br />

F rs = 0.3707P − 0.259 × (minor dia. allowance<br />

on ext. thread − pitch dia.<br />

allowance on ext. thread)<br />

Basic flat at crest F cn = 0.4224P (internal<br />

thread)<br />

Basic flat at crest F cs = 0.4224P − 0.259 ×<br />

(pitch dia. allowance on ext. thread)<br />

F rn = 0.4224P − 0.259 × (major dia. allowance<br />

on internal thread)<br />

F rs = 0.4224P − 0.259 × (minor dia. allowance<br />

on ext. thread − pitch dia. allowance<br />

on ext. thread)<br />

Pitch Diameter Allowances <strong>and</strong> Tolerances: Allowances on the pitch diameter of General<br />

Purpose Acme threads are given in Table 4. Pitch diameter tolerances are given in<br />

Table 5. The ratios of the pitch diameter tolerances of Classes 2G, 3G, <strong>and</strong> 4G, General<br />

Purpose threads are 3.0, 1.4, <strong>and</strong> 1, respectively.<br />

An increase of 10 per cent in the allowance is recommended for each inch, or fraction<br />

thereof, that the length of engagement exceeds two diameters.<br />

Application of Tolerances: The tolerances specified are designed to ensure interchangeability<br />

<strong>and</strong> maintain a high grade of product. The tolerances on diameters of the internal<br />

thread are plus, being applied from minimum sizes to above the minimum sizes. The tolerances<br />

on diameters of the external thread are minus, being applied from the maximum sizes<br />

to below the maximum sizes. The pitch diameter (or thread thickness) tolerances for an<br />

external or internal thread of a given class are the same. The thread thickness tolerance is<br />

0.259 times the pitch diameter tolerance.<br />
