1856 ANSI BUTTRESS THREADS<br />
External Thread:<br />
Max. Major Diameter: D − G = 1.9926 (see Table 5)<br />
Min. Major Diameter: D − G − Major Diameter Tolerance = 1.9814 (see Tables 4 <strong>and</strong> 5)<br />
Max. Pitch Diameter: D − h − G = 1.8426 (see Tables 2 <strong>and</strong> 5)<br />
Min. Pitch Diameter: D − h − G − PD Tolerance = 1.8314 (see Table 4)<br />
Max. Minor Diameter: D − G − 2hs = 1.6612 (see Tables 2 <strong>and</strong> 5)<br />
Buttress Thread Designations.—When only the designation, BUTT is used, the thread is<br />
“pull” type buttress (external thread pulls) with the clearance flank leading <strong>and</strong> the 7degree<br />
pressure flank following. When the designation, PUSH-BUTT is used, the thread is<br />
a push type buttress (external thread pushes) with the 7-degree load flank leading <strong>and</strong> the<br />
45-degree clearance flank following. Whenever possible this description should be confirmed<br />
by a simplified view showing thread angles on the drawing of the product that has<br />
the buttress thread.<br />
St<strong>and</strong>ard Buttress <strong>Threads</strong>: A buttress thread is considered to be st<strong>and</strong>ard when:<br />
1) opposite flank angles are 7-degrees <strong>and</strong> 45-degrees; 2) basic thread height is 0.6p;<br />
3) tolerances <strong>and</strong> allowances are as shown in Tables 4 <strong>and</strong> 5; <strong>and</strong> 4) length of engagement<br />
is 10p or less.<br />
Thread Designation Abbreviations: In thread designations on drawings, tools, gages,<br />
<strong>and</strong> in specifications, the following abbreviations <strong>and</strong> letters are to be used:<br />
BUTT for buttress thread, pull type<br />
PUSH-<br />
BUTT<br />
for buttress thread, push type<br />
LH for left-h<strong>and</strong> thread (Absence of LH indicates that the thread is a right-h<strong>and</strong> thread.)<br />
P for pitch<br />
L for lead<br />
A<br />
B<br />
for external thread<br />
for internal thread<br />
Note: Absence of A or B after thread class indicates<br />
that designation covers both the external <strong>and</strong> internal<br />
threads.<br />
Le for length of thread engagement<br />
SPL for special<br />
FL for flat root thread<br />
E for pitch diameter<br />
TPI for threads per inch<br />
THD for thread<br />
Designation Sequence for Buttress Inch Screw <strong>Threads</strong>.—When designating singlestart<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ard buttress threads the nominal size is given first, the threads per inch next, then<br />
PUSH if the internal member is to push, but nothing if it is to pull, then the class of thread<br />
(2 or 3), then whether external (A) or internal (B), then LH if left-h<strong>and</strong>, but nothing if righth<strong>and</strong>,<br />
<strong>and</strong> finally FL if a flat root thread, but nothing if a radiused root thread; thus, 2.5-8<br />
BUTT-2A indicates a 2.5 inch, 8 threads per inch buttress thread, Class 2 external, righth<strong>and</strong>,<br />
internal member to pull, with radiused root of thread. The designation 2.5-8 PUSH-<br />
BUTT-2A-LH-FL signifies a 2.5 inch size, 8 threads per inch buttress thread with internal<br />
member to push, Class 2 external, left-h<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> flat root.<br />
A multiple-start st<strong>and</strong>ard buttress thread is similarly designated but the pitch is given<br />
instead of the threads per inch, followed by the lead <strong>and</strong> the number of starts is indicated in<br />
parentheses after the class of thread. Thus, 10-0.25P–0.5L – BUTT-3B (2 start) indicates a<br />
10-inch thread with 4 threads per inch, 0.5 inch lead, buttress form with internal member to<br />
pull, Class 3 internal, 2 starts, with radiused root of thread.<br />
