19、 BSI 2007 iiiBS 84:2007ForewordPublishing informationThis British Standard is published by BSI and came into effect on 30 November 2007. It was prepared by Subcommittee SFTSE/1, Screws and fasteners technical specification committee, under the authority of Technical Committee FME/9, Nuts, bolts and
20、accessories. A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary.SupersessionThis British Standard supersedes BS 84:1956, which is withdrawn.Relationship with other publicationsThis British Standard is intended for use with BS 919-2, which specifies the
21、corresponding screw gauges.Information about this documentThis British Standard has been fully revised to bring it up to date.This British standard includes tables of basic sizes, limits and tolerances for British Standard Whitworth (B.S.W.) and British Standard Fine (B.S.F.) screw threads. In addit
22、ion it provides a “Selected thread” series of recommended diameter/pitch combinations for use in applications where the standard coarse (B.S.W.) and fine (B.S.F.) series have insufficiently fine pitches.An allowance (minimum clearance) is provided on certain classes of external threads of sizes up t
23、o and including in diameter; the recommended combinations of classes of internal threads and external threads include internal threads having larger effective diameter tolerances than the corresponding sizes of external threads. Three tolerance classes are specified for external threads, close, medi
24、um and free. The allowance is provided for medium class and free class external threads by specifying maximum external thread limits below the basic size. The purpose of this allowance is to provide for the threads to be coated if necessary, the coating encroaching within the allowance; it is also i
25、ntended to permit easy assembly of maximum material condition (MMC) external threads and internal threads, thus facilitating the use of torque wrenches. Two tolerance classes of internal threads are specified, medium and normal. Close class internal threads are now non-preferred but, in view of thei
26、r usage in the past and for special uses, limits and tolerances for these are specified in Annex E.No change has been made in the general three-part formula used as a basis for tolerancing effective diameters, and the formulae used for tolerancing the other thread elements also remain unchanged from
27、 those in BS 84:1956; the reason for this is to minimize any changes in the sizes of the gauges used to control the size of the finished work.The table of recommended diameter/pitch combinations for screw threads in the “Selected thread” series follows very closely the corresponding table (Table 37)
28、 in BS 1580-1.34-BS 84:2007iv BSI 2007The foreword of BS 84:1956 ended with the following statement. “In conclusion it may be asked why the revision of this standard has been undertaken in view of the standardization of the Unified thread in BS 1580. The reason is that Whitworth threads will undoubt
29、edly continue to be used for many years, especially on replacements or spare parts.” The present revision of BS 84 has been undertaken because, fifty years on, this continues to be the case.Hazard warningsPresentational conventionsThe provisions of this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright)
30、 type. Its requirements are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliary verb is “shall”.Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented in smaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.Contractual and legal considerationsThis publication does not
31、purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application.Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legal obligations.WARNING. Attention is drawn to the fact that, with the different screw thread forms available, there is th
32、e possibility of a mismatch, which is potentially hazardous. It is the responsibility of the designer of the end product to ensure that this possibility is reduced to a minimum. For further information on mismatches of screw thread systems see PD 6494. BSI 2007 1BS 84:20071 ScopeThis British Standar
33、d specifies limits of sizes, and tolerances, for single start parallel screw threads of Whitworth form, for general engineering use. It is not applicable to threads for threaded pipe joints, screw threads associated with interference fits, such as those on the “metal ends” of studs and in the corres
34、ponding tapped holes, or to screw threads which are to be subjected to high temperatures.This standard specifies the following thread series:a) a coarse thread series, the British Standard Whitworth (B.S.W.) series, with nominal diameters in the range in to 6 in.b) a fine thread series, the British
35、Standard fine (B.S.F.) series, with nominal diameters in the range in to 4 in.NOTE The tables of limits and tolerances for the B.S.F. series extend up to the 3 in size only, since nominal sizes above 3 in are rarely used.c) a supplementary selected thread (WHIT. S.) series with nominal diameters fro
36、m in to 7 in.d) a truncated Whitworth form series (specified in Annex A).This British Standard specifies limits of sizes, and tolerances, of uncoated threads and also for metal coated threads (including threads coated with nickel, tin or zinc) with a thickness of coating of the order of 0.000 2 in.
37、It is not applicable to heavily coated threads (i.e. threads with a coating thickness above 0.000 35 in).NOTE Supplementary information is given in Annex B, Annex C and Annex D.2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
38、 references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.BS 919-2, Screw gauge limits and tolerances Part 2: Specification for gauges for screw threads of Whitworth and B.A. formsBS 6528:1984, Glossary of te

40、iameter, as distinct from the “virtual” effective diameter (see 3.1.2).NOTE 2 Also known as the pitch diameter.18-316-14-14-BS 84:20072 BSI 20073.1.2 virtual effective diametereffective diameter of an imaginary thread of perfect pitch and flank angle, having the full depth of flanks, but clear at th
41、e crests and roots, which would just assemble with the actual thread over the prescribed length of engagementNOTE The “virtual” effective diameter exceeds the simple effective diameter in the case of an external thread, but is less than the simple effective diameter in the case of an internal thread
42、, by an amount corresponding to the combined diametral effects due to any errors in the pitch and/or the flank angles of the thread.3.2 SymbolsFor the purposes of this British Standard the following symbols apply.NOTE 1 These are repeated from BS 6528 for the convenience of users of this standard.D

44、he symbols given for pitch diameter in BS 6528.4 Profile of Whitworth screw threadThe basic profile, and the design profile, of the Whitworth thread shall be as shown in Figure 1. The thread shall be a symmetrical V-thread in which the angle between the flanks, measured in an axial plane, is 55, one
45、-sixth of the V is truncated at the top and bottom, the thread is rounded equally at crests and roots by circular arcs blending tangentially with the flanks and the theoretical depth of the thread is 0.640 327 times the nominal pitch. NOTE The basic thread depths specified in this standard have been
46、 rounded to the nearest 0.000 1 in. BSI 2007 3BS 84:20075 Tolerance classes of external and internal threadsExternal threads and internal threads shall be of one of the following tolerance classes:a) close class external threads;NOTE 1 This class of threads is for use where a close fit is required.
47、Threads of this class are obtainable consistently only by the use of the highest quality production equipment supported by a particularly efficient system of gauging and inspection. They are intended for special work where a high degree of accuracy of pitch and thread form are particularly required.
48、NOTE 2 Limits and tolerances for close class internal threads for special uses are given in Annex E.b) medium class external threads and internal threads; NOTE 3 This tolerance class is for ordinary use, but the accuracy of pitch and thread form is greater than that for free class and normal class threads.c) free class external threads; NOTE 4 This tolerance class is for ordinary commercial use.d) normal class internal threads. NOTE 5 This tolerance class is for ordinary commercial use.NOTE 6 This class of internal threads is intended for use with medium cla
