II. SPECIAL THREADS

ABSTRACT
This publication presents in compact form the tables of dimensions of special screw threads having the
American National form of thread (60°), as published in the 1928 Report of the National Screw Thread Com-
mission (Sees. IV and XD), Bureau of Standards Miscellaneous Publication, No. 89. These tables cover the 1

basic sizes, limiting dimensions, and tolerances for the American National 12-pitch thread series and other
screw threads of special diameters, pitches, and lengths of engangement.

I. AMERICAN NATIONAL 12-PITCH THREAD SERIES

Where special threads are required, it is sometimes essential to select a certain pitch as
standard for a range of sizes. Also, in general practice, where the pitch of a special thread is
optional, the uniform use of a selected pitch is advantageous. For such applications the 12 pitch
is widely used, particularly for two distinct purposes as given below, but for different reasons.

Sizes of 12-pitch threads from one-half inch to and including 1% inches are used in railroad
practice, which requires that worn stud holes be retapped with a tap of the next larger size, the
increment being one-sixteenth inch throughout most of the range.
The 12-pitch threads are also widely used in machine construction, as for thin nuts on
shafts and sleeves. From the standpoints of good design and simplification of practice, it is
desirable to maintain shoulder diameters to one-eighth-inch steps. The 12 pitch is the coarsest,
for a thread of basic depth, which will permit a threaded collar which screws onto a threaded
shoulder to slip over a shaft, the difference in diameter between shoulder and shaft being
one-eighth inch.

Tolerances are based on a length of engagement of 1 inch.
3
Standard size screw and nut of the American national coarse-thread series.
8
Standard size screw and nut of the American national fine-thread series.
4
Dimensions given for the maximum minor diameter of the screw are figured to the intersection of the worn
tool arc with a center line through crest and root. The minimum minor diameter of the screw shall be that cor-
responding to a fiat at the minor diameter of the minimum screw equal to YsXp, and may be determined by-
subtracting 0.0541 inch from the minimum pitch diameter of the screw.
5
Dimensions for the minimum major diameter of the nut correspond to the basic flat, (Y&Xp), and the
profile at the major diameter produced by a worn tool must not fall below the basic outline. The maximum
major diameter of the nut shall be that corresponding to a flat at the major diameter of the maximum nut equal

II. SCREW THREADS OF SPECIAL DIAMETERS, PITCHES, AND LENGTHS OF

ENGAGEMENT
For threaded parts such as hub and radiator caps in the automotive industry, threaded
collars on machine tools, etc., where the diameters are larger, the pitches finer, and the lengths
of engagement shorter than for bolt and nut practice Tables 27, 28, 29, 30, and 31 are ar-
ranged herein, and are intended to cover all practical combinations of diameter, pitch, length
of engagement, and class of fit. The use of these tables instead of the application of formulas
to determine limiting dimensions of a special thread facilitates placing dimensions on draw-
ings. Also, in cases of special threads of the same diameter, pitch, and class of fit, but
slightly different lengths of engagement, the threads may be gaged by a single set of gages, as
identical pitch diameter tolerances will be applied.
Rules for Use of Tables. —
For consistent application of these pitch-diameter tolerance
tables to adherence to the following rules relative to the use of the tables is necessary:
all cases,

1. All thread dimensions of threads of special diameters, pitches, and lengths of engage-

ment, except pitch diameter tolerances, are derived from Table 27. Pitch diameter tolerances
are taken from Tables 28, 29, 30, and 31, depending upon the class of fit required.
Tolerances on pitch diameter corresponding to major diameters between those for which
values are given in the tables shall be those of the next larger diameter.
2. Tolerances on pitch diameter for pitches between those for which values are given in
the tables shall be those of the next coarser pitch, except that for screws having 80, 72, 44, 13,
11, 9, 7, 5, or 4:}i threads per inch, lengths of engagement of one and one-half diameters or less,
and diameters less than the standard diameters for the respective pitches as given in Section
III 2 for standard sizes and pitches, the tolerances given in Section III shall be used
3. Tolerances on pitch diameter for pitches coarser than 4 threads per inch shall be the

same as those for 4 threads per inch.

4. Tolerances on pitch diameter when the length of engagement is y2} or IK, inches for
12 threads per inch and finer, or 1, or 3, inches for pitches coarser than 12 threads per inch, shall
correspond to the interval of which these are the upper limits.
5. Tolerances on pitch diameter for lengths of engagement greater than those for which
values are given shall be the maximum values listed for the pitch concerned.
Example: 3% inch, 16-thread, class 1, with allowance on screw, one-half inch length of
engagement
From Table 28:
Pitch diameter tolerance =0. 0095
Also from Table 27, for the screw:
Maximum major diameter = 3. 2500 — 0. 0018=3. 2482
Minimum major diameter =3. 2482— . 0126 = 3. 2356
Maximum minor diameter = 3. 2500— . 0785 = 3. 1715
Maximum pitch diameter =3. 2500— . 0424 = 3. 2076
Minimum pitch diameter =3. 2076- . 0095 = 3. 1981
And for the nut:
Minimum major diameter = 3. 2500
Minimum minor diameter =3. 2500— . 0677=3. 1823
Maximum minor diameter =3. 1823+ . 0068 = 3. 1891
Minimum pitch diameter =3. 2500- . 0406 = 3. 2094
Maximum pitch diameter =3. 2094+ . 0095 = 3. 2189
