Acme General Purpose Screw Threads per. ASME/ANSI B1.5

This ACME Thread General Purpose Design Calculator will determine the three classes
of General Purpose, 2G, 3G, and 4G, for the external and internal threads. In
Membership
application, it is suggested that external and internal threads of the same class be used
together for general purpose assemblies, Class 2G being the preferred choice. If less Register | Login
backlash or end play is desired, Classes 3G and 4G are provided.
