ASME B1.3 pdf download Screw Thread Gaging Systems for Acceptability: Inch and Metric Screw Threads (UN, UNR, UNJ, M, and MJ)
GENERAL
(a) This Standard presents screw thread gaging systems suitable for determining the acceptability of UNUNR,UNI M,and M screw threads on externally andinternally threaded products. It establishes the criteriafor screw thread acceptance when a gaging system isused.
(b) A screw thread gaging system comprises a list ofscrew thread characteristics that must be inspected/evaluated to establish the acceptability of the screwthreads on a threaded product and the gage(s) whichshall be used when inspecting/evaluating those charac-teristics.
(c) Federal Government Use. This Standard isapproved by the Department of Defense and federalagencies,and is incorporated into FED-STD-H28/20Screw Thread Standards for Federal Services, Section20 The use of this Standard by the federal governmentis subject to all the requirements and limitations ofFED-STD-H28/20.

SCREW THREAD GAGES AND MEASURINGEQUIPMENT
(a) Tables 1 and 2, for external and internal screwthreads, respectively, are listings of screw thread gages,gaging elements, and measuring equipment.
NOTE: Throughout the remainder of this Standard, the term gageincludes any gages, gaging elements, and measuring equipmentlisted in Tables 1 and 2. See para, 5(d).
For each gage, these tables specify the thread charac-teristic(s) for which the gages are designated fordetermining conformance.
(b) The tables are arranged to establish product screwthread acceptance criteria based on recognized gagingconcepts used to assess conformance.(1) Attributes. Fixed limit inspection/evaluationprovides a qualitative assessment of a characteristic(s)using gages which determine conformance.
(2) Variables. Indicating control is a quantitativeand qualitative assessment on a characteristic(s) whichis then compared with limiting values in order to deter-mine if the characteristic(s) is in conformance.
4GAGING SYSTEMS
(a) Tables 3 and 4 present screw thread gaging systems for inspection/evaluation of externally and inter-nally threaded products, respectively.
(b) Three gaging systems for inspection/evaluationof threads on threaded products are established hereinto provide a choice depending on the engineeringrequirement of the threaded product. These are identi-fied as Systems 21, 22 and 23. The difference betweengaging systems is the level of inspection/evaluationdeemed necessary to satisfy that conformance has beenachieved.
