New standard for Thread Wire Measurement. (General Developments).A new standard for measurement of thread wires has just been published. The standard, ASME ASME - American Society of Mechanical Engineers B89.1.17, Measurement of Thread Measuring Wires, was developed under the leadership of a NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology, Washington, DC, www.nist.gov) The standards-defining agency of the U.S. government, formerly the National Bureau of Standards. It is one of three agencies that fall under the Technology Administration (www.technology. guest researcher. The new standard will establish uniform practices for this important measurement, which is a critical step needed to properly establish pitch diameter of threaded threaded - thread fasteners fastenersIn construction, connectors between structural members. Bolted connections are used when it is necessary to fasten two elements tightly together, especially to resist shear and bending, as in column and beam connections. . The new standard will promote manufacture of more uniform threaded fasteners with better fit and improved functionality. CONTACT: Jack Stone, (301) 975-5638; jack.stone@nist.gov. |
