Metrology of Screw Thread-1
Metrology of Screw Thread-1
SCREW THREAD –
1) Pitch
2) Lead
3) Diameters of Screw Thread
a. Major Diameter
b. Minor Diameter
c. Pitch / Effective Diameter
4) Angles Of Screw Thread
a. Thread Angle / Included Angle
b. Flank Angle
DESIGNATION OF SCREW THREAD
M6X0.75- g5 h6
where
M= Metric Thread
6 is Nominal Diameter
0.75 is Pitch of thread
Pitch Diameter Tolerance
Crest Diameter Tolerance
MEASUREMENT OF SCREW THREAD
In Mass Production –
1
Fiducial
Indicator
MEASUREMENT OF MAJOR DIAMETER
PRISMS
Dm
A
If dimensions over wire are measured
(Hand Micrometer)
Pitch Diameter = M – C
M – Dimensions Over Wire
C – A Constant (C Value) (Need to
derive!)
P Value (Pitch Value) ≠ Pitch of screw thread
