Class of Fit
This is the term used to designate the "tightness" of two mating components. This
results from a combination of tolerances and allowances applied to the basic size of
each component.

It is very important that these classes are specified to allow for interchangeability.

The three common classes of fit are a simple system of 1, 2 or 3. These classes of fit
vary from loose (1) to tight (3). More specifically:

 1 - Use for applications where a liberal tolerance is required to permit easy

assembly, even with slightly marred threads. An additional allowance for fit is
added to the external thread component.
 2 - Most commonly used class for general applications. An additional allowance for
fit is added to the external thread component. This is commonly referred to as the
"nuts and bolts" fit because of the guaranteed gap between the mating
components, where tightness is accomplished by contact against a face.
 3 -For Applications where accuracy of thread elements are highly important. This is
commonly referred to as the "machine fit".
 A visual representation of this concept is shown here:

Thread Type
The thread type designation is a very simple one and has two options:

 A = External threads
 B = Internal threads
As we will find out in a subsequent post, type A threads also clearly denote that the
thread gage is either a ring gage or a set plug gage. Type B threads also clearly
denote a working plug gage.

Modification
This last section for designation is rarely used, but still important. This is where any
modification to the standard designation would be called out. For example, "LH"
would denote a left-handed thread (no more righty-tighty, lefty-loosie!).
