BS 1580, Unified screw threads. BS 3643, Metric screw threads. This British Standard which relates to screw th

14、read measuring cylinders, used in the determination of the effective diameter E of external screw threads, has been prepared under the authority of the Mechanical Engineering Industry Standards Committee in response to requests from the National Physical Laboratory and from user sources. Thread meas

15、uring cylinders have been employed in the measurement of external screw threads for many years and their use for this purpose has long been familiar. During World War I the National Physical Laboratory established a recommended series of so-called “Best-size” cylinders for use in the measurement of

16、screw threads of Whitworth, ISO Metric and B.A. thread forms. This series, amended and enlarged to include Unified threads, has been used extensively ever since and is still in use in this country at the present time. In issuing this first British Standard for screw thread measuring cylinders opport

17、unity has been taken to draw on the considerable experience gained in screw thread measurement over the years. Two grades of measuring cylinders are provided for in the standard, viz., Grade A (pitch-line) cylinders and Grade B (grouped) cylinders. Grade B cylinders are the same as the N.P.L. “Best-

18、size” cylinders referred to above; Grade A cylinders are new and are chosen to make contact with the flanks of the screw thread under measurement very close to the pitch-line. This entails a particular size of Grade A cylinder for each form and pitch of screw thread. SPECIAL NOTE. The introduction o

19、f Grade A (pitch-line) cylinders with their finer diametral tolerances renders the term “Best-size” (as applied to the series originally covered by the N.P.L. Schedule) anomalous, and the designation “Best-size” is therefore not recognized in this standard. A British Standard does not purport to inc

20、lude all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, page

21、si and ii, pages1to10, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS3777:1964 BSI 11-1999 1 1 Scope This British Standard relates to two g

22、rades of screw thread measuring cylinders intended for use in checking external screw threads by means of pitch diameter measuring machines. NOTEFor a full description of this well established method of measuring the effective diameter of an external screw thread when using thread measuring cylinder

23、s, and also for an explanation of the P value used in this measurement, see “Notes on Applied Science No.1” issued by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research and entitled “Gauging and Measuring Screw Threads”, published by Her Majestys Stationery Office. The standard comprises two parts

24、: Part1 gives the bases for the diametral tolerances of Grade A and Grade B screw thread measuring cylinders and the relative merits of the two grades. Part2 gives the complete specification for both grades of cylinders suitable for the forms and pitches of screw threads shown inTable 1. 2 Terminolo

25、gy “Pairs” and “sets” of screw thread measuring, cylinders. When two cylinders are used for measuring the effective diameter of a screw thread they are referred to in this standard as a “pair” and when three cylinders are used they are referred to as a “set”. Part1. Grades of cylinders 3 Tolerances

26、and P values a) Grade A (pitch-line) screw thread measuring cylinders. Grade A cylinders nominally make contact with the flanks of the screw thread on the pitch line; it follows that a pair (or a set) will be required for each pitch and form of screw thread to be measured. A diametral tolerance of 0

27、.000 02 in from nominal size is allowed. It is intended that the P value associated with Grade A cylinders should be calculated on the nominal diameter of the cylinders used, regardless of where their actual diameters lie within the 0.000 02 in tolerance zone. NOTEShould the actual diameters of a pa

28、ir or set of Grade A cylinders all happen to fall on the upper or on the lower limit of the 0.00002 in tolerance zone, then the basing of the P value on the nominal diameter of the thread measuring cylinder could give rise to an error of0.00002 inches in the measured effective diameter of Whitworth,

29、 Unified and ISOMetric threads, and0.00003 inches in the case of B.A. threads. These small inaccuracies of measurement. which only occur in extreme cases, are considered to be insignificant; they could of course bc entirely eliminated, if desired, by calculating the P value using the actual mean dia

30、meter of the thread measuring cylinders instead of the nominal diameter. b) Grade B (grouped) screw thread measuring cylinders (original N.P.I. “Best-size” cylinders). Grade B cylinders have larger diametral tolerances than those of Grade A to enable an individual pair or set to be used for measurin

31、g a specified range of screws of different form and pitch. Their diametral tolerances are controlled, so as to allow them to make contact with the flanks of the thread anywhere within a distance on each side of the pitch-line equal to one-twentieth of the length of the straight portion of the flank.

32、 (This requirement is modified slightly for screw threads of Unified and ISO Metric form; for these threads the cylinders make contact with the flanks anywhere within a distance on each side of the pitch line equal to one-tenth of the length of the straight portion above the pitch-line.) Calculating

33、 the diametral tolerance zones on the above basis for cylinders to be used on threads of Whitworth, Unified, ISO Metric and B.A. forms, reveals that the zones for some thread, forms overlap. Thus it is possible to select a restricted tolerance zone which is common for threads of different form which

34、 can be served by a single pair (or set) of cylinders. The details relating to Grade B cylinders given in Table 7 have been worked out on this basis. Sometimes a pair or set of Grade B cylinders is purchased for the measurement of a screw thread of one form only. In this case the permitted diametral

35、 tolerance band for the cylinders is calculated for the particular form of screw thread in question, using the appropriate formula given inTable 8. The P value to be associated with a pair or set of Grade B cylinders is calculated on the mean of the measured diameters of the two or three cylinders c

36、oncerned. When Grade B cylinders are used to measure a screw thread whose flank angles are in error by as much as the full equivalent of the tolerance allowed on the effective diameter of the thread, the error which could arise in measuring the effective diameter (on the assumption that the flank an

37、gles were correct) could, in the extreme case, be about one-tenth of the tolerance allowed on that diameter.BS3777:1964 2 BSI 11-1999 4 Relative merits of Grade A and GradeB screw thread measuring machines The choice between Grade A and Grade B cylinders will depend on the nature and variety of the

38、screw thread measurements to be undertaken. The following assessment of the relative merits of the two grades is included in the standard to help the purchaser in making his choice. With Grade A cylinders, a pair (or set) of cylinders is required for each pitch and form of screw thread to be measure

39、d. On the other hand, with Grade B cylinders, 30pairs (or sets) will serve to measure the entire range of screw threads of the forms mentioned in Clause5 having pitches ranging from3 to80 t.p.i. (or8mm to0.35 mm). Should the user be interested in a wide range of screw threads then, on economic groun

40、ds, Grade B cylinders would be preferred to Grade A. Grade A cylinders possess certain advantages over Grade B cylinders. These include: a) Freedom from the effects of flank angle errors. The measured effective diameters obtained with Grade A cylinders are not influenced by flank angle errors and th

41、ese cylinders therefore give, in general, a slightly enhanced accuracy of measurement as compared with Grade B cylinders. b) Simplicity of replacement and constancy of P value. The replacement of a Grade A cylinder due to loss, breakage or wear, does not necessitate any change in the P value of the

42、particular pair or set since this value is based on the nominal diameter of the cylinders and is therefore constant for all certified cylinders intended for use with one particular thread form and pitch. c) Ease of identification. Separate identification of Grade A cylinders is not important; it is

43、only necessary to indicate on the identification disk the thread form and pitch of the screw for which a Grade A cylinder is required. The allocation of serial numbers to individual Grade A cylinders is not necessary. Part 2. Specification for thread measuring cylinders 5 Measuring range The Grade A

44、 and Grade B cylinders covered by this standard are intended for use on screw threads of the forms and pitches given inTable 1. The cylinders may be used in pairs or sets. NOTEA pair of cylinders can only be used when the measurement is constrained to be at right angles to the axis of the screw thre

45、ad, as is the case with the N.P.L. type of “floatingdiameter” measuring machine.
