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.
1 SCOPE This Standard describes the gage and procedure for checking bolt and screw straightness at maximum mate- rial condition (MMC) and provides default limits when not stated in the applicable product standard. 2 COMPARISON WITH ISO 4759-1:2000 This Standarduses anadjustablegage, insteadofplain sleeve gages like the example shown in ISO 4759-1 AnnexC, Fig. C.24. The adjustable gageavoids the neces- sity of a different gage for each diameter–length combi- nation, and for eachdifference in the specified tolerances on diameter, or straightness, or both, of the fastener. 3 REFERENCED STANDARDS For undated references, the most recent issues of the referenced standards apply.

6 GAGE The gage consists of a stationary rail, an adjustable rail, micrometers that indicate the distance between the rails at each end, and a means to secure the adjustable rail in place. 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. 8 STRAIGHTNESS LIMITS Unless otherwise specified in the product standard or by the purchaser, the straightness limits for all types of screws and bolts are listed in Table 1.
