ASME B18.2.9:2010 pdf download.Straightness Gage and Gaging for Bolts and Screws
1 SCOPE
This Standard describes the gage and procedure for checking bolt and screw straightness at maximum mate- rial condition (MMC) and provides default limits when not stated in the applicable product standard.
2 COMPARISON WITH
ISO 4759-1:2000 This Standarduses anadjustablegage, insteadofplain sleeve gages like the example shown in ISO 4759-1 AnnexC, Fig. C.24. The adjustable gageavoids the neces- sity of a different gage for each diameter–length combi- nation, and for eachdifference in the specified tolerances on diameter, or straightness, or both, of the fastener.
6 GAGE
The gage consists of a stationary rail, an adjustable rail, micrometers that indicate the distance between the rails at each end, and a means to secure the adjustable rail in place. A typical gage is illustrated in Fig. 1.
7 PROCEDURE
(a) The excluded length, illustrated in Fig. 2, is the length, ifany, thatis to be excluded from the straightness gage, as specified by the product standard. (b) The gaged length, illustrated in Fig. 2, is calculated as the bolt or screw length minus the excluded length. (c) The straightness tolerance at MMC for the product to be inspected is calculated for the gaged length by the formula specified in the product standard. (d) The resultant condition is calculated as the larger of the maximum major diameter of the thread or the maximum body diameter of the bolt or screw, plus the straightness tolerance at MMC. (e) The adjustable rail of the gage is adjusted to pro- vide a parallel space between the rails equal to the resul- tant condition by obtaining common readings on both micrometer heads, and is secured in place. (f) The gaged length of the product to be inspected is inserted between the rails, then rotated by hand through a full 360 deg. Any interference occurring between the product and the gage sufficient to prevent rotation indicates that the specified straightness is not met.
