IN’KRMATIONSHEET ON FEDERALSTANDARDS

This FederalStaxlardis issued in loose-leafform to permit the

insertionor r-val of new or revisedpages and sections.

All users of FederalStandardsshouldkeep them up to date by

insertingrevisalor new pages as issuedand ~ing supersededand
canceledpages.

New and revisedpages will be issuedun&r ChangeNoticeswhich will

be nunberedconsecutivelyand will bear the date of issuance. Change
Noticesshouldbe retainedand filed in frontof the Standarduntil such
tti as they are supersededby a reissueof the enttieStandard.

This sectionwas develo~ to provideinspectionEthods for acceptance

of products,which use 60° symmetricalinch and ~tric screw threads,bY
the FederalSemites. It was originallydevelopedand widely cfilated
as Propsed Section20 of the NationalBureau of Standards(NBS)Handbook
H28 by the Interdental Screw-ThreadCannittee (IS’IC)
prior to its
terminationin Novenber 1976. Responsibilityfor the standardwas then
transferredto the GeneralSenices Administration(GSA).

FED-S~H28/20 was preparedby the Efense Industrid SupplyCenter

(DLA-IS). It incorporatedthe ~rican NationalStandardfor Screw-Thread
Gaging Systensfor Unified (inch)Screw-Threadsand appliedthis to both
inch and nWric thread gaging. In addition,guidelinesfor system
selectionand refereerequir-nts were included.

FE&s’ID-H28/20Awas an updatedversionof FED-ST’PH28/20.In it, the

requ~nts of ANSI/ASMEB1.3M-1986replacd those of ANSI B1.3-1979.

FED-S’lBH28/20B is an updatedversionof FED-STD-H28/20A.In it, the

rquirexw?ntsof ASME B1.3M-1992replacethose of ANSI/ASMEB1.3M-1986.
Significantchangesincludethe folluwing: (1) hcorporatd _-nt

s~ified for each applicationof UN, UNR, UNJ, M and ~ screw threads.
The inspectionmthod need not be indicatedat each threadcall~ut if it
is coved by a generalnote in any part of the prcrumm nt packagefor
the thmeadedprcxhrt (specification, drawing,invitationfor bids, etc.).
The ins-ion nethal may be either a standardgag~g system as provided
herein,or a *f icationof a standardgagtigsystem;selectionwill
depend on engineering~nts ~ cost consideratio~. Detailed
=@remnts and guidanceare providd in the followings=ions.

5. Detailedreauirenmts.

5.1 Inmect ion mthods and their sel=ion.

5.1.1 Establishedsystem. T& gagingsystem for inspectionare

establishedherein to providea choicede-g on the engineering
requirementof the threadedprakt. These are identifid as System 21,
22 and 23.

5.1.1.1 systems 21, 22 and 23 are in accordancewith ASME B1.3M-1992

for UN, UNR, UNJ, M and MJ threads. It is recawended that for System 23,
size nEas~nt valuesbe required.

N(YI’E:System 21A in ASME B1.3M-1992is used only for mtric threads

specifi~ in accordancewith ANSI 131.18M.

5.1.1.2 For specialapplications,the screw thread on a threaded

prduct my requireinspxtion not consistentwith any of the standard
gagingsystem. In such cases, one of the standardgaging systm should
be selectd and tified by specifyingthe additioml thread character-
isticsand gages fran Tables 1 or 2 in ASME B1.3M-1992,as applicable.

5.1.2 Selection. Since mst screw threadapplicationsdo not require

that all of the featuresdescribedin the applicablesectionof
FE&STD-H28 be inspected,selectionof the appropriateimpction ~thod
will be based on those featuresimportantto the end use. Consideration
should& given to such factorsas form, fit, functionand fabricationof
the threadedprahrt. The cost of inspectionshouldbe cmpared to the
possiblecosts resultingfra uncertaintiesinherentin each ins-ion
mthod . Guidancefor sel~ion of an ins-ion ~thod frcm the three
standardgaging system is as follcxvs:

a. Where the threadsof the prahrt do not need specific

5.4 In-mocess controls. Variousthread gages/mmfacturing

However,the final productshall confom to the requ~nts of the

5.5 Decimation of ins-ion mthod. The inspectionmthod for each

threadedprduct shall be either: (1) coveredby a generalnote in the
procurementpackage (specification,drawing,invitationfor bids, etc.);
(2) indicatedat the individualthreadcall-out;or (3) a combinationof a
generalnote to cover the mjority of threadsand individualt-d

individualthreadcall+ut shall show the standardgagingsystemnunberin

be added to the gagingsystemn-r if the standardgaging systemis
mciified. Detailsof designationare in accordancewith Section7 of ASME
B1.3M-1992which includesexanples. Exception: Referencein the

(d) New rolls and segnentsshall be within X tolerance. Worn rolls or
