It outlines common sources of errors in screw thread measurements like errors in the major diameter, minor diameter, effective diameter, pitch, and thread form angle. It describes different types of pitch errors like progressive, periodic, and irregular errors. Finally, it explains methods for measuring the major diameter, effective diameter, and pitch, including using a thread micrometer, one wire method, two wire method, and three wire method.

    Measurement of Screw Thread

    Outline
    • Common terms
    • Pitch Errors
    • Errors in Measurement
    • Effective Diameter Measurement
    Screw Thread
    • A SCREW THREAD is a ridge of uniform section in the
    form of a helix on the external or internal surface of a
    cylinder.
    • the PITCH of a thread P is the distance from a point on
    the thread form to the corresponding point on the
    next form, measured parallel to the axis
    Elements of a Vee-form Thread
    A vee-from thread is composed basically of the
    following elements.
    – Major or outside diameter
    – Minor or root diameter
    – Form, particularly flank angles
    – Pitch
    – Simple effective diameter
    SCREW THREAD
    Lead & Pitch
    Errors in Measurement
    There are at least five important elements which require
    consideration:
    • Major diameter
    • Minor diameter
    • Effective diameter
    • Pitch and angle of the thread form
    • Errors on the major and minor diameters will cause
    interference with the mating thread
    • Errors on the effective diameter will also result in
    weakening of the assembly
    • pitch and angle errors are also not desirable as they cause a
    progressive tightening and interference on assembly
    Errors in Measurement
    • Drunken Thread: Thread drunkenness is a
    particular case of a periodic pitch error recurring at
    intervals of one pitch
    Pitch Errors in Screw Threads
    Progressive Pitch Error: This
    error occurs when the tool
    work velocity ratio is incorrect
    though it may be constant.

    Periodic Pitch Error: This


    type of error occurs when the
    tool work velocity ratio is not
    constant.
    Irregular Errors
    These arise from disturbances in the machining set-up,
    variations in the cutting properties of material etc
    • Erratic Pitch. This is the irregular error in pitch and
    varies irregularly in magnitude over different lengths of
    thread.
    Progressive Error. When the pitch of a screw is
    uniform, but is shorter or longer than its nominal value,
    it is said to have progressive error.
    Periodic Error. If the errors vary in magnitude and
    recur at regular intervals, when measured from thread to
    thread along the screw are referred to as periodic errors.
    Measurement of Major
    Diameter

    bench micrometer is used to measure Major


    Diameter
    Dc=Calibrated diameter of the setting cylinder
    Rc= Micrometer reading on setting cylinder
    Rt=Micrometer reading on thread
    Then, Major Diameter = Dc+(Rt-Rc)
    Effective Diameter Measurement
    (I ) Thread micrometer
    method.

    (ii) One wire and two wire


    method.
    Two Wire Method
    Matrix Pitch Measuring
    Machine
    Three Wire Method
    The wires are placed in the
    threads and a micrometer is used
    to measure over the top of the
    wires.
    M = E - 0.86603P + 3W
    M = the measurement over the
    wires
    E = the pitch diameter
    P = the pitch or (1/TPI)
    W= the wire size
