FOREWORD
(This Foreword is not part of ASMEiANSl B1.8-1988.)
The Standards Committee on the Standardization and Unification of ScrewThreads, B1, was organized in June 1921 with the Society of Automotive Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineersas jointsponsors under the procedures of the American Standards Association (ASA), now the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This Committee was reorganized in May 1929, and its work was divided among five subcommittees as follows: No. No. No. No. No.
1 - Scope and Arrangement of American Standard 2 - Terminology and Form Threads,Except Gages 3 - Special Threads and Twelve Pitch Series, Except Gages 4 - Acme Threads, ExceptGages 5 - Screw Thread Gages
National standardization of Acme screw threads in the United began in1932 when States Subcommittee No.4 on Acme Threads of Sectional Committee B1 held its first meetingin New York. A report presented on the was types of Acme threads and the range sizes and of pitches in use in this country. Itwas prepared byC. W . Bettcher with the assistance of F. L. Woodcock. This report developed a draft standard. it was finally approved as an into When American Standard with the designation ASA B1.3-1941, it contained a section of introductory notes and tables covering general purpose screws and general purpose nuts, basic dimensionsof general purpose Acme threads with special and standard pitches, basic 29 over dimensions of deg. stub threads, measurements three wires for Acme threads, basic dimensions of 60 deg. stub threads, and basic proportions for modified squarethreads. the National Aircraft Standards CommitIn December 1942, to meet the war emergency, tee of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce requested the ASA to consider establishing an American warstandard forspecial Acme screw threads foruse in aircraft construction. Recognizing the vital importance of aircraft production to the effort, theASA at once war initiated this project and organized a special committee to develop the standard. At the London Conferenceon the unification of screw threads held in the summer 1944, it was of Acme threads also be drawn up. Early in March 1945, proposed that a war standard on Stub therefore, the work on this proposed standard was begun and a draft prepared as a result of the discussion with the British and Canadianexperts at the Ottawa Conference in October 1945. This draft was dated March 1946 and was submitted to theASA War Committee on 1946 for approval Acme Threads and the ASA War Committee on Threads in April Screw by letter ballot. However, a Stub Acme warstandard was never issued. In April 1946, the Subcommittees of Standards Committee B1 were reorganized to include the responsibility of the ASA War Committee. Subcommittee No. 2 on Acme and Stub Acme Threads revised the March 1946 draft on Stub Acme screw threads and on March 3 1, 1948, distributed the January1948 draft to industry for criticism and comment. The final draft the proposed standard on StubAcme screw threads was completed in of June 1951 and was submitted to Sectional Committee B1 for letter ballot on September 17, 1951; it was approved with minor amendments. Following approval by the sponsor

On September 2,1981, the B1 Committee was reorganized an ASME Standards Comas edition, which was subsequently approved mittee. The B1 .S Subcommittee developed this as by the ASMEB1 Committee, submitted to ANSI, and adopted an American National Standard on January 11, 1988.

GENERAL AND HISTORICAL
1.4 Thickness o Thread f
When formulated prior to 1895, regular Acme screw threads were intended to replace square threads and a variety of threads other forms of used chieflyfor the purpose of producing traversing motions on machines, tools, etc. For current information on Acme threads, see the latest edition of ASME/ANSI B1.5. The Stub Acme thread came into early in the being 1900s. Its use has been generally confined to those unusual applications where a coarse-pitch thread of shallow depthis required due tomechanical or metallurgical considerations. Federal Government Use. When this Standard is approved by the Department of Defense and Federal H28/13, Agencies and is incorporated into FED-STD Screw Thread Standards for Federal Services, Section 13, the use of this Standard by the Federal Government is subject to all the requirements and limitations of FED-STD H28/13.
The basic thickness of the thread at a diameter smaller than thebasic major diameter (ix., the basic pitch diameter) by 0.3 pitch shall be equal to one-half the pitch.
1.5 Allowance (Minimum Clearance) at Major and Minor Diameters
A minimum diametral clearance is provided at the minor diameterof all Stub Acme thread assemblies by establishing the maximum minor diameter external of threads 0.020 in. below the basic minor diameter on threads 10 pitch and coarser, and0.010 in. below the basic minor diameter for finer pitches. A minimum diametral clearance at the major diameter is obtained by establishing the minimum major diameter of the internal thread 0.020 in. above the basic major diameterfor threads10 pitch and coarser, and 0.010 in. above the basic major diameter for finer pitches.
1 SPECIFICATIONS FOR STUB ACME THREADS 1.1 Angle of Thread 1.6 Basic Thread Form Dimensions
The included angle between the flanks of the thread measured in axial plane shall be 29 deg. The line bian secting this 29 deg. angle shall be perpendicular to the axis of the screw thread.
The basic dimensions of the Stub Acme thread form for the most generally used pitches are given in Table 2. The basic thread form is symmetrical and is illustrated in Fig. l .
1.2 Pitch of Thread
The pitch of a thread is the distance, measured parallel to its axis, between corresponding points on adjacent thread forms.
1.7 Stub Acme Screw Thread Series
1.3 Height of Thread
The basic height of the standard Stub Acme thread shall be equal to 0.3 pitch. When design requirements necessitate use of a lesser or greater thread height, the data should be obtained from Appendix A.
1
The series of diameters and associated pitches of 3 Stub Acme threads listed in Table are recommended as preferred. These diameters and pitches have been carefully selected to meet the present needs with the fewest number of items in order toreduce to a minimum the inventory of both tools and gages. If other combinations of diameter pitch are required, caland culate thread dimensions in accordancewith the formulas in Fig. 2.

1.9 BasicDiameters
The maximum major diameter of the external thread is basic and is the nominal size for all classes. The minimum pitch diameter of the internal thread is basic and equal to the basic major diameter minus the basic thread height h. The basic minor diameter is the minimum minor diameter of the internal thread. It is equal to the basic major diameter minus twice the basic thread height 2h.
NOTE: (1) Pitch diameter tolerances for various practicable combinations of diameter and pitch are given in Table 6.
1.12 Allowances (Minimum Clearances)
1.IO Length of Engagement
The tolerances specified herein are applicable to lengths of engagement not exceeding twice the nominal major diameter.
1.1 1 Tolerances
The tolerances on diameters of internal threads are plus, being applied from the minimum sizes to above the minimum sizes. The tolerances on diameters of external threadsare minus, being applied from the maximumsizes to belowthemaximumsizes.The tolerances on the major and minor diameters of external and internal threads are based upon the data in Table 1 . The pitch diameter tolerances for anexternal or internal thread arethe same (see Table 6). Pitch diameter tolerance 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 gaging in accordance with this Standard, the functional diameter/size is controlled within these limits over the standard GO gage length. Product pitch diameter size, lead (helix), flank angle, taper, and roundness per the above are not individually controlled.
4
Allowances applied to the pitch diameter of the external threadare based on the major diameter andare given in Table 5 . When the product has a length of engagement greater than the standard length of the threadgage as shown in Table 10, column 3, and lead variations not exceeding values shown in the notesto thattable, and when GO thread gages of these lengths are to be used, the maximum pitch diameter of the external thread shall be decreased by the amount shown in Table 10, column 5 . If the lead variations in the product are greater than indicated, the allowance for the gage stated in columnshould be increased proportionally. 5 However, if methods of gaging the external thread that will detect angle variation and cumulative lead variation are used, the pitch diameter of the thread shall be below the tabular maximum pitch diameter by an amount sufficient to compensate for themeasured variations. An increase of 10'70 in the allowance is recommended for each inch, or fraction thereof, that the length of engagement exceeds two diameters.
1.13 LimitingDimensions
Limiting dimensions for StubAcme threads of the preferred series of diameters and pitches are given in Table 7. The application of these limits is illustrated in Fig. 2.
ASMElANSl B1.8-1988

Both GO and NOT GO gages, which represent the product limits or adequate gaging instruments for thread elements, are necessary for the proper inspection of Stub Acme threads. The dimensions of GO and NOT GOgages should be in accordance with the following principles: (u) the GO gage should check simultaneously as many elements as possible, and a NOT GO gage can effectively check but one element; (b) permissible variations in the gages be kept within the extreme product limits.
2.1 GageTolerances
2 GAGES FOR STUB ACME SCREW THREADS
SPECIAL NO TE: Work is in progress to write an ASME/ANSI B1 standard forscrew thread gaging systems suitable for determining the acceptability of Acme/Stub Acme screw threads on external and internal threaded products. The draft ASME B1.24, Gages and Gaging for of General PurposeAcme, Centralizing Acme, and Stub Acme Threads, uses the guidelines as noted in ANSI/ ASME B1.3M, which have been established for uniform inch and metric screw threads. This standardwill establish the criteria for product screw thread acceptance when a specified gaging system is used for both in-process control and final dimensional conformance. The format for standard this will follow that already established by ANSVASME B1.3M, Unified Inch and Metric Screw Threads. A screw thread gaging system for externaMnterna1 Acme/Stub Acme screw threads comprises a listing of those screw thread characteristics that must be inspected for each specified system and the gage, gages, or gaging systems which shall be used when inspecting those characteristics. In the interim, until this standard has been completed and released, the following clarifying statement shall apply.

Tolerances for the thread elements of GO and NOT GO gages for Stub Acme threads are given in Table 9. (u) Tolerunces on Pitch Diumefer. The pitch diameter tolerances for gages for external and internal threads are given in Table 9, column 2. (b) Tolerunces on Major und Minor Diumeters. The major and minor diameter tolerances for Stub Acme thread gages are given in Table 9, column 3. (c) Tolerunces on Leud. The variation inlead of all Stub Acme thread gages shall not exceed 0.0003 bein. tween any two threads not farther apart than l in. However, the cumulative variation in lead shall not exceed the following: ( I ) 0.0004 in., for gages with a length over 1 in. to 3 in., inclusive; (2) 0.0005 in., for gages with a length over 3 in. to 5 in., inclusive; (3) 0.0007 in., for gages with a length over 5 in. to 10 in., inclusive. For multiple threads, thecumulative tolerance for any length of gage shall be obtainedby multiplying by 1.5 the above tolerance applicable to thatlength. ( j Tolerunces on Angle of Gage Threads. The told erances on angle of thread, as specified in Table 9, column 4 for the various pitches, are tolerances on one-half of the included angle. This ensures that the bisector of the included angle will be perpendicular to the axis of the thread within proper limits. The

(b) NOT GO Threucl Plug or Indicnting Guge ( I ) Major Diutneter. The major diameter of the NOT GO thread pluggage or indicating gage shall be equal to the maximum (basic) major diameter of the external thread minus O. 15p with the tolerance minus. If this results in a major diameter smaller than the gage P.D. size, the gage P.D. size shall be used for the major diameter with the gage tolerance plus. (2) Pitch Diutneter. The pitch diameter shall be the same as the maximum pitch diameter of the internal thread with the tolerance minus. (3) Minor Diutneter. The minor diameter shall clear a diameter less than theminimum minor diameter of the internal thread by 0.01 in. (4) Length. The length should approximatethree pitches except that, for multiple threads, the length shall provide at least one fullturn of thread (see para.
2.1.4).
external or internal thread is required, the method of checking this characteristic must be determined regardless of feature size for each individual application (see ANSI Y14.5M).
2.1.4 Gage Dimensions. It is recommended that wherever possible the general dimensions of the gages be in accordance with ASMEIANSI B47. l . 2.1.5 Other Gaging. Section 2 outlines the usage of GO and NOT GO thread plugs and thread ring or thread snap or indicating gages and their associated setting thread plug gages. It also covers the usage of plain plug gages for checking the minor diameter of internal threaded product. While these types of limit gages are generally used to ensure assembleability of product, they may not provide enough informationto ensure that all of the elements of the mating threaded products conform the to tabulated limits of size, etc. When complete details of thread elements are required, it will be necessary to use other comnlerciallg available types of gaging or inspection equipment to obtain this data. 2.1.6 Wire Measurement Stub Acme Threads. of Refer to Appendix B for details of wire sizesand measurement of 29 deg. included angle threads. Because of the shallow depth of Stub Acme threads, it may be necessary to grind a flat on measuring wires to clear the root of the threads when best size wires are used.
(c) GO Pluin Plug or Inclicuting Cuge for Minor Diutneter of Internal Thread. The diameter of the GO plain plug gage shall be the same as the minimum minor diameter of the internal thread. The gage tolerance shall be plus (see Table 8). The gage shall be in accordance with ASMEIANSI B47.1. (4 NOT GO Plain Plug or Indicuting Guge for ( Minor Diatneter of Internal Threud.

GENERAL NOTE: Pitch diameter tolerances for various practicable combinations of diameter and pitch are given in Table 6. NOTES: (1) The values in this column were developed by the following formula: 2G tolerance = pitch increment ( 0 . 0 3 0 m )
This formula reduces t o
+ diameter increment (0.006$?)
0.006 ( f i

GENERAL NOTES: (a) The equivalent tolerance on thread thickness is 0.259 times the pitch diameter tolerance. (b) The pitch diameter tolerances shown in this Table equal sum of the pitch increment the secthe in ond column and the diameter incrementin the last line, which reduces to 0.006 ($ + 5) $. NOTE: (1) For an intermediatenominal diameter, apply the pitch diameter tolerance the nextlarger nomifor nal diametergiven in this Table.

GENERAL NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, dimensions are in inches.

NOTES: (1) This compensationis based on a length of engagement not exceeding two diameters and a lead variation product not exceedin the ing thefollowing, in inches: 0.0003 in length of l/z in. or less 0.0004 in length over l/z in. - 1l/z in. 0.0005 in length over 1l / z in. - 3 in. 0.0007 in length over 3 in. - 6 in. 0.001 O in length over 6 in. - 1O in. (a) The principles have been established requirements of this in the Table that GO gages should approximate length of engagethe ment and NOT GO gages should be three pitches long. For reasonseconomy or of limitations in gage manufacture or use, it may be desirable t o modify these principles as follows: (1) take advantage of the economies of using standard blanks, as listed in ASMElANSIB47.1, wherever they may be utilized successfully; (2) avoid too cumbersome ring gages, aswell as excessively expensive gages, by limiting the length of GO thread ring gages t o maximum lengths given in column 3 of thisTable; (3) avoid excessively cumbersomethread plug gages by limiting maximum length to twodiameters wherever possible; (4) take full advantage of modern equipmentfor producing and checking accurate leads, particularly where long engagements are involved,thus permitting the use of standard or moderate length thread plug, thread ring, or thread snap gages. Alternatively, of course, instruments may be usedfor checking diameters and angles independently. GO used (b) Should a gage shorterthan the length of engagement be chosen, independent means should be t o measure lead variation in the product. If thelead variationAp in the length of engagement L, so determined, exceeds 0.259es (where es is the product pitch diameter allowance),the maximum metal condition must be reduced o ensure free assembly product. The ret of quired amount of change in pitch diameter Ad2 of the product (minus on external thread, plus internalthread) accordingly, is: on
(c) When instruments are used for checking diameter, it is a simple matter t o make this allowance. When thread plug and ring gages are used, allowance is sometimes increased by a fixed amount, asoutlined in this Table. This arbitrarily changes the the tolerance on pitch diameter.

APPENDIX A ALTERNATIVE STUB ACME THREADS, MODIFIED FORM 1 AND MODIFIED FORM 2
(This Appendix is not part of ASME/ANSI B I .S-1988, is included for information purposes only.) and
Recognizing the fact that one Stub Acme thread form may not provide a generally acceptable thread system to meet the requirements of all applications, basic data fortwo of the other commonly used forms (shown in Figs. A l and A2) are tabulatedin Tables A l and A2.Whereverpracticable, the standard Stub Acme thread form should be used. In applying the foregoing data to special designs, the allowances and tolerances can be taken directly from Tables 4, 5 , and 6 for standard Stub Acme threads. Therefore, the major diameter and basic thread thicknessat pitch linefor bothexternal and internal threads will be the same as for the standard form, asshown in Tables 3 and 7. The pitch diameter and minor diameter will vary from the data shown in Tables 3 and 7 For the Modified Form 1 Stub . Acme
--`,,````,,,,,,`,,``,,,,,,``,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
thread, the pitch and minor diameters be smaller will than similar values for the standard form; and for Modified Form 2 thepitch and minor diameters will be larger than those dimensions for the standard forms. For gaging these modified Stub Acme threads, the principles of gaging outlined in Section 2 (para. 2.1.3) of this Standard will apply. The dimensions of gages can be calculated from the data in Section 2 (paras.2. l. 1, 2.1.2, and 2.1.4). The gage tolerances should be taken from para.2.1 and Tables 8, 9, and 10. These threads should be designated drawings as on described in para. 1.14with the insertion after Acmeof Ml for the Modified Form 1 and M2 for the Modified Form 2.

APPENDIX B THREE-WIRE METHOD OF MEASUREMENT OF PITCH DIAMETER OF 29 deg. STUB ACME THREADS
(This Appendix is not part of ASMElANSl B I .8-1988, and is included for information purposes only.)
B I THREADWIRESPECIFICATIONS,CALIBRATION, AND USE
The computed value for the pitch diameter of a screw thread gage obtained from readings over wires will depend upon the accuracy of the measuring instrument used, the contact load, and the value of the diameter of the wires usedin the computations. orIn der to measure the pitch diameter of a screw thread gage to an accuracy of 0.0001 in. by means of wires, it is necessary to know the wire diameters to 0.00002 in. Accordingly, it is necessary to use a measuring instrument that reads accurately to 0.00001 in. Variations in diameter around the wire should be determined by rotating thewire between a measuring of contact and an anvil having the form a V-groove cut on a cylinder and having the same flank angles, 14 deg. 30 min, as the thread to be measured. As thus measured, the limit on roundness deviation shall be 0.00005 in. To avoid a permanent deformation of the material of the wires and gages it is necessary to limit the contact load, and for consistent results a standard practice as to contact load making wire measurements of in hardened screw thread gages is necessary. In the case of Stub Acme threads, the wire presses against the sides of the thread with a pressure of approximately twice that of the measuring instrument. This would indicate that the diameter of the wires should be measured against a hardened cylinder having a radius equal to the radius of curvature of the helical surfaceof the threadat the pointof contact, using approximately twice the load to be used in making pitch diameter readings. As with 60 deg. threads it is is not practical to use such a variety of sizes, and it recommended that the measurements of wirediameter be made between a flat contact anda 0.750 in. hardened and accurately finished steel cylinder. To limit the tendency of the wires to wedge in and deform thesides of a Stub Acme thread, it is recommended that pitch
21
diameter measurements on 8 t h r e a d s h . and finer be made at 1 lb. For coarser pitches and larger wires the deformation of wires and threadsis lessthan forfiner pitches. Furthermore, the coarser pitches are used on larger and heavier products, on which the pitch diameter tolerance is greater and a larger measuring load may be required to make satisfactory measurements. It is,therefore, recommended that for threadshn. coarser than 8, the pitch diameter be measured at 2% lb. The standard specification for wires and standard practice in themeasurement of 60 deg. wires stated in ANSUASME B1.2 are applicable to wires for Stub Acme threads, with the above-stated exceptions as to angle of V-groove and limit on roundness.

B2 FORMULAS FOR MEASURINGTHEPITCH DIAMETER OF STUB ACME THREADS (29 deg.1 B2.1 LeadAngle
The combination of small flank angle and large lead angle that is characteristic of Stub Acme threads results in arelatively large lead angle correction to be applied in wire measurements of pitch diameter of such threads. In the case of multiple-start threads, the geometry is such that it is no longer feasible to make the usual simplifying assumptions as to the positions of contact of the wire in the thread.Accordingly, measurement of single-start Stub Acme threads (with lead angles less than 5 deg.) is treated similar to the measurement of 60 deg. threads when the value for the term
(r!

is 0.00015 in. orsmaller (see ANSVASME B1 -2). For threads having lead angles greater than 5 deg., the necessary refinements in the calculations are presented.

Multiple-start threads commonly have lead angles greater than 5 deg. In those exceptional cases that have smaller lead angles, the procedures described above may be applied. For larger lead angles there are two procedures available that give almost identical results; that is, the discrepancy between the values obtained for the lead angle correction c is well within the possible observational error in making the measurement of pitch diameter. The methods are those of Marriner and Wood [4], based on the analytical approach of Gary [3] and Vogel [2]. It is necessary to determine the best-size wirefor the individual thread, as the size isdependent on the lead angle of the thread. This determination is simplified by extracting from TableB4 the wire diameter (interpolating if necessary) for a 1 in. axial pitch screw and dividing by the threaddin. Thus
W =
y = distance from contact point to a pointL on A
the thread axis, measured parallel to an element of the thread flank, in the axial plane containing L A /3 = (designated the key angle by Vogel) angle in a plane perpendicular to the threadaxis between lines connecting the point O on the thread axis to the axis of the wire (or center of the ball) and to the point of contact of the wire and thread flank, respectively The values of and Y are determined by:

In Fig. B1 the actual points of contact of the wire with the thread flanks areat A and B . Under certain conditions a wire may contact one flank two points, at in which case it is advisable to use a ball, equal in diameter to the wire. The value of c is the same for a ball as for a wire. The conditions determining single or double contact are dealt with below.

These are simultaneous equations in /3 and -i which cannot be solved directly but can be solved by iteration. Letting /3 = O, the first approximation for y is
yo =
R sec a
W + - cot a 2
(15)
This approximatevalue of y is entered in therighthand side of Eq. (13) to obtain a new value = &. Then this new value of is entered in the right-hand side of Eq. (14), together with the first approximation of y, to obtain a new value of y = yl. Then *iland are entered in Eq. (13) to obtain a new /3 = pz. This process is repeated until the values of and y repeat themselves to therequired degree of accuracy. Their final values are then entered in Eqs. (11) and (12) to obtain the lead angle correction given by Eq. (10).

When the lead angle and diameter of a thread are such that double contact of the measuring wires occurs, it be necessary to check the pitch diameter by will means of balls rather than wires. For accurate measurement with wires, single contact on each flank must occur. Measuring wires can be used if the following formula from[4] is satisfied for a specific thread.

The value of P in the above example, which satisfies this equation, is 0.02232 480 radian, as compared with 0.02232 501 obtained with the Marriner and Wood formulas.
