ShareShare While measuring external threads: Thread Profile C ontrol
The difficulty for the pitch measurement in the profile projector is the
poorly defined thread flanks.
To fix the projector reticle It is flush with the baseline of bevelled
blades, better defined.
The pitch
diameter (Pd) of a threaded rod can be measured directly with
specialized thread micrometers.
By using three wires of the same known diameter, the thread pitch can
be measured with a standard micrometer.
These formulas are only useful with 60 single-start threads.
Lets start by saying that is a little tricky handling three wires together
with a micrometer all at the same time.
A micrometer support can be very helpful. There are several tricks of the
trade that can make it easier, but learning to make the measurement
without accessories can ultimately be faster and more accurate.
This process sounds to be harder than it is. Your reading will be more
accurate after your second try.
Some people use grease on the threads, rubber bands or modeling clay
over the ends of the wires.
Any of these tricks will take longer than the method above, and they all
can affect the accuracy of the measurement.
The 3d term is the interesting one. It highlights the fact that your thread
measuring calibrated wires must be the correct size. Any error in the
wires is magnified three times. There is more to consider than wire
diameter. Bent, distorted, or dirty wires will also affect the measurement.
(Rubber bands, anyone?)
The following tabela shows the wire sizes and constants for Metric
Threads.
To
measure pitch diameter flush the reticle stroke "A" and moving the table
in the direction of the arrow to the mark with the line "B" blade.
