i like to define a custom thread. 1,625 major diameter, and 56 pitch.
mil-s-8879 says the pitch diameter tolerance per ASTM B1-1. i could not find it in B1-1.
help me to find all the diameters/tolerance, major, pitch, minor, male and female.
thanks.
 
dho,

If you specify 1-5/8-56UN, you can look up your tolerances in the Machinery's Handbook. This all assumes of course that I correctly guessed your units.

thanks.
but the machinery handbook only lists up to 24 pitch, no finer.
if go by ASTM B1-1, table 19, for 1.625, LE, say .125, 56 pitch, the pitch diameter tolerance would be 0.001764 + 0.000530 + 0.001025 = 0.003319 for 2A, and 75% of it, .002489 for 3A.
right?
 
dho,

You are looking at the table for Standard Series and Selected Combinations. I have the 26th edition here. The page immediately before this is called American Standard Unified Inch Screw Thread Form Data. This shows the thread form independent of the major diameter.

Look in the FAQ section of this forum there is one on this very subject.

What is Engineering anyway: faq1088-1484
 
MIL-S-8879 only covers the UNJ thread forms (controlled root radius). Most of the dimension/tolerance formulas for a 56 tpi thread are covered in table I. MIL-S-8879 sections 3.4.2 (external threads) & 3.4.3 (internal threads) state that the threads shall be in accordance with FED-STD-H28/2 and ANSI/ASME B1.1 (class 3A & 3B). Regarding pitch diameter limits, the external thread max PD limit and internal thread min PD limit are given in MIL-S-8879 table VIII. The opposite PD limits can be found in FED-STD-H28/2 table II.C.2.

 
i have machinery handbook, 23rd edition. American Standard Unified Inch Screw Thread Form Data on page 1484 does not give the tolerance. i am afraid.
search the treads, one of them "How Do I Specify Unified Thread Form Custom Threads? by KENAT", but B1-1 table 31 thru 40, are for "coarser" thread than what i like to use due to the thin wall.
so, i think i still would go by B1-1, para 5.8 "...... apply to standard and SPECIAL series screw thread." and calculate per para 5.8.1 and 5.8.2 along with table 19 for 1.625-56UNS-2A, 2B.
thanks.
 
dho, when you say 'treads' do you mean you looked at faq404-1480 which will show you how to dimension a UNS thread.

yes, i did read thread FAQ404-1480, but seems it did not direct me to the tolerance calculation.
is my saying posted at 12 Sept 16 13:03, wrong on tol cal ?
thanks a lot.
 
Well kudos to you dho for being one of the only question askers who prefers to do his own math rather than click a link at the bottom of the FAQ to a site that claims to do it for you.

Machineries handbook or similar reference may have the tolerance calcs, else yes you'll need ASME B1.1.

thanks KENAT.
it is weird. my clicking did nothing (Google Chrome). one interesting thing, "your" page, engagement length on top, my page nut factor on top.
i still will go over B1-1, calculate those and compare to "your" page.
thanks.

as i remember the browser would pop up a line to ask if you allow a pop-up. WAS that true?
my google chrome was set as pop up not allowed. your suspicion was right.
thanks.
