Pre-Plate pitch diameters, major diameters, and minor diameters of thread rings, thread plugs, and plug gauges.

The rules for determining Pre-Plate pitch diameters, major diameters, and minor diameters of thread rings, thread plugs, and plug  gauges are as follows:

To determine Pre-Plating dimensions for external threaded parts: 

For external threads subtract the max plating thickness from the high limit Pitch Diameter, and then subtract the minimum plating from the low limit Pitch Diameter  

For the minor and major diameters reduce the maximum diameters by half the maximum plating and reduce minimum diameter by half the minimum plating.   

To determine Pre-Plating dimensions for internal threaded parts: 

For internal threads add the max plating thickness to the low limit of the Pitch Diameter, and then add the minimum plating thickness to the high limit of the Pitch Diameter.  For minor and major diameters increase the minimum minor diameters by half the maximum plating and increase the maximum minor diameter by half the minimum plating. 


To determine Pre-Plating dimensions for thread ring gauges: 

For thread ring gauges subtract the max plating thickness from the Pitch Diameter of the Go thread ring gauge. Then subtract the minimum plating from the Pitch Diameter of the No-Go thread ring gauge. For the minor diameter reduce the Go ring minor diameter by half the maximum plating and reduce the No Go ring minor diameter by half the minimum plating. 

To determine pre plating dimensions for thread plug gages: 

For thread plug gauges add the max plating thickness to the Pitch Diameter of the Go thread plug gauge.  Add the minimum plating thickness to the Pitch Diameter of the No-Go thread plug gauge. Increase the major diameter of the Go thread plug by half the maximum plating and increase the No Go thread plug major diameter by half the minimum plating. 


Example for Thread Plug Gage:

Plating of .0002” - .0003” allowance per side multiple x 4
.0003 x 4 = .0012” Max
.0002 x 4 = .0008” Min


½ - 20 UNF 2B Pre-Plate
Basic standard Go Pitch Diameter = .4675” + .0012” = .4687” Go  Pre-Plate Pitch diameter.
Basic standard No Go Pitch Diameter = .4731” + .0008” = .4739” No Go Pre-Plate Pitch Diameter.
Basic standard Go Major Diameter = .5000” + .0006” = .5006” Go Pre-Plate Major Diameter.
Basic standard No Go Major Diameter = .4948” + .0004” = .4952” No Go Pre-Plate Major Diameter.


Example for Thread Ring gages:

Plating of .0002” - .0003” allowance per side multiple x 4
.0003 x 4 = .0012” Max
.0002 x 4 = .0008” Min
.0003 x 4 = .0012” Max
.0002 x 4 = .0008” Min
½ - 20 UNF 2A Pre-Plate
Basic standard Go Pitch Diameter = .4662” - .0012” = .4650” Go Pre-Plate Pitch Diameter
Basic standard No Go Pitch Diameter = .4619” - .0008” = .4611” No Go Pre-Plate Pitch Diameter
Basic standard Go Minor Diameter = .4446” - .0006” = .4440” Go  Pre Plate Minor Diameter.
Basic standard No Go Minor Diameter = .4511” - .0004” = .4507” No Go Pre-Plate Minor Diameter.
If no minimum and maximum plating thickness is given, then the given plating thickness is considered nominal or minimum plus 50% to determine maximum plating.

Nephilim

N 'eh - Ph 'ih- L 'ee- M /  Nepheeleem Zacharia Sitchin (July 11, 1920 – October 9, 2010)  wrote the " Nephilim " (נְפִילִים) is derived from “nafàl" and means “fall". The term Nephilim occurs in Genesis 6:1-4, describing the point of time when three things began: men began to increase in number, came into existence the daughters of men , and the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. Is the "nephillim" really only a Hebrew word? That question is very subtle, however I think it has been more a limit of thinking for linguists rather than a serious argument. Let's begin first with the probable meaning the linguists think it is. We know that the " fall"  in every language means moving downward from a higher position involuntarily, usually by an accident, which maybe was the reason why Michael S. Heiser, PhD candidate, Department of Hebrew and Semitic Studies , University of Wisconsin...

Word creation. The "D" letter origin and the "D" pictogram rule of the word creation.

  In this article I will cover  the origin of the letter  D letter, and the pictogram concept of the word creation.  It was my first discovery of the word creation. In this blog I will give my discoveries, the rules of word creation of the European languages. Multiple theories exist as to how language first originated. Nobody is sure which one is true. Certified Translations Get Pricing Order Translation What is the Oldest Language in the World? There are over 7,000 languages in the world. Could there have been a time on the earth that we all spoke one language? If so, what is the oldest language in the world?  So what was the first language?  Discovering the first language that people spoke is difficult because so many languages died and were considered lost in history. However, ancient languages still survive until today; these languages may have been transformed a lot but their old origins may be traceable. Written languages existed but this does n...

Total positional tolerance at material condition

Total positional tolerance at material condition (Hole) Suppose the Ø 1.005 / 1.010 hole is inspected and there are six parts with different ID dimensions. Their actual sizes checked with run out methods give that their actual axis is to be .006” over and up from the true position even though they have different actual ID’s. We want to know which part is within true position tolerance at MMC. Parts to be acceptable require some calculation when is used the run out method.             In GD&T, maximum material condition (MMC) refers to a hole that contains the greatest amount of material.             To understand and memorize simply and logically the concept, I suppose that you have a part designed as a square with one hole in the center, Ø 1.005 / 1.010 . You have produced just 5 parts and measured their holes. The hole of part #1 is on the low side of its tolerance Ø 1.005" and the hole of part #5 is on high sid...
