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 />
