Chapter 2 Flashcards
What is the crest and root
Crest \_\_. \_\_ / \ /. \ / \_/. \ Root The flat part of the pitch is re crest and the opposite flat part at the bottom is the root
Major diameter
Pitch diameter
Minor diameter
MAJOR is from crest to crest
MINOR is from root to root
PITCH is an imaginary line between those two
Thread angle
Angle formed by the sides of the thread at the root
Pitch of a fastener
Distance of one crest to the next
Fine threads
HOLDING POWER
TAP EASIER
FINE AJUSMENTS
Used in high strength applications
Coarse threads
CHEAPER
TOLERATE ABUSE /STURDY
LESS CROSS THREAD
Used on plastics, aluminum or cast iron
What does ANSI and ASME mean
American national standards institute
American society of mechanical engineers
What determines classes of fasteners
TOLERENCE (amount of size differences allowed from exact size
ALLWOENCES: (how loosely or tightly they fit
Internal vs external allowances
External always ends in A
internal always ends in B
CLASS 1A and 2B most allowance
2A and 2B
3A and 3B. Least allowence
Strength of bolts
Grade 1 and 2 No Marks Grade 5 3 lines Grade 8 6 lines
Joseph whitworth
Or
William sellers
Thread angle of 55 degrees
Thread angel of 60 degrees and was adopted by for the American national standard thread
What is the bitch of a fasteners $
Distance from one crest to another
Most fasteners are right-handed which way should they be turned$
Clock wise
