General. ASME Standards are developed and maintained with the intent to represent the consensus of concerned interests. As such, users of this Standard may interact with the Committee by requesting interpretations, proposing revisions, and attending Committee meetings. Corre- spondence should be addressed to: Secretary, B18 Standards Committee The American Society of Mechanical Engineers Three Park Avenue New York, NY 10016-5990 Proposing Revisions. Revisions are made periodically to the Standard to incorporate changes that appear necessary or desirable, as demonstrated by the experience gained from the application of the Standard. Approved revisions will be published periodically. The Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this Standard. Such proposals should be as specific as possible, citing the paragraph number(s), the proposed wording, and a detailed description of the reasons for the proposal, including any pertinent documentation. Proposing a Case. Cases may be issued for the purpose of providing alternative rules when justified, to permit early implementation of an approved revision when the need is urgent, or to provide rules not covered by existing provisions. Cases are effective immediately upon ASME approval and shall be posted on the ASME Committee Web page. Requests for Cases shall provide a Statement of Need and Background Information. The request should identify the standard, the paragraph, figure or table number(s), and be written as a Question and Reply in the same format as existing Cases. Requests for Cases should also indicate the applicable edition(s) of the standard to which the proposed Case applies. Interpretations. Upon request, the B18 Standards Committee will render an interpretation of any requirement of the Standard. Interpretations can only be rendered in response to a written request sent to the Secretary of the B18 Standards Committee. The request for an interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. It is further recommended that the inquirer submit his/her request in the following format: Subject: Cite the applicable paragraph number(s) and the topic of the inquiry. Edition: Cite the applicable edition of the Standard for which the interpretation is being requested. Question: Phrase the question as a request for an interpretation of a specific requirement suitable for general understanding and use, not as a request for an approval of a proprietary design or situation. The inquirer may also include any plans or drawings, which are necessary to explain the question; however, they should not contain proprietary names or information. Requests thatare notin this formatmay be rewritten inthe appropriate formatby the Committee prior to being answered, which may inadvertently change the intent of the original request. ASME procedures provide for reconsideration of any interpretation when or if additional information that might affect an interpretation is available. Further, persons aggrieved by an interpretation may appeal to the cognizant ASME Committee or Subcommittee. ASME does not “approve,” “certify,” “rate,” or “endorse” any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity. Attending Committee Meetings. The B18 Standards Committee regularly holds meetings, which are open to the public. Persons wishing to attend any meeting should contact the Secretary of the B18 Standards Committee.
1 SCOPE This Standard describes a gage and procedure for checking bolt or screw straightness at maximum mate- rial condition (MMC). 2 COMPARISON WITH ISO 4759-1:2000 This Standarduses anadjustable gage, instead ofplain sleeve gages like the example shown in ISO 4759-1 Annex C, Figure C.24. The adjustable gage avoids the necessity of a different gage for each diameter–length combination, and for each difference in the specified tolerances on diameter and/or straightness of the fas- tener. 3 REFERENCED STANDARDS For undated references, the most recent issues of the referenced standards apply.

A typical gage is illustrated in Fig. 1. 7 PROCEDURE (a) The excluded length, illustrated in Fig. 2, is the length, ifany, thatis to be excluded from the straightness gage, as specified by the product standard. (b) The gaged length, illustrated in Fig. 2, is calculated as the bolt or screw length minus the excluded length. (c) The straightness tolerance at MMC for the product to be inspected is calculated for the gaged length by the formula specified in the product standard. (d) The resultant condition is calculated as the larger of the maximum major diameter of the thread or the maximum body diameter of the bolt or screw, plus the straightness tolerance at MMC. (e) The adjustable rail of the gage is adjusted to pro- vide a parallel space between the rails equal to the resul- tant condition by obtaining common readings on both micrometer heads, and is secured in place. (f) The gaged length of the product to be inspected is inserted between the rails, then rotated by hand through a full 360 deg. Any interference occurring between the product and the gage sufficient to prevent rotation indicates that the specified straightness is not met.
