The American National Standards Committee B1 for standardization of screw threads was
organized in 1920 as sectional Committee B1 under the sponsorship of the American Engineering
Standards Committee (later the American Standards Association, then the United States of
America Standards Institute and as of October 6,1969, the American National Standards Institute,
Inc.), with the Society of Automotive Engineers and The American Society of Mechanical Engineers
as joint sponsors. As a result, a great deal of effort was expended through the years toward
development of several screw thread standards.
Recognizing the need to standardize the method of rounding decimal values in the calculation
of screw thread dimemsions, the ACME Standards Committee B1 charged Subcommittee 30 with
the responsibility for producing such a standard.
This Standard designated ACME B1.30 was developed only to serve as the basis for rounding
of decimal values associated with the computation of screw thread dimensions.
The examples and formulas depicted within this Standard are for reference only and are
presented only to clarify the rounding procedures described. When calculating the different thread
characteristics for a particular thread form, refer to the appropriate ACME B1 standard for the
formulas and methodology of calculation for that thread.
This Standard was originally approved as an American National Standard on June 29, 1992.
This issue updates the 1992 issue and includes:
(u) the addition of a note to para. 1.2 for the clarification of the use of this Standard for metric
applications;
(b) the addition of an exception in para. 3.1.3 to the number of decimal places for the allowance
2A when used in intermediate calculations as Td2;
(c) the addition of the maximum external UN minor diameter, maximum and minimum internal
pitch diameters and the minimum internal major diameter to the example in para. 3.2.1;
(d) removal of Appendix A containing various common values for 60 deg thread elements.
This was done because the values are either listed or can be calculated by formulas in other
existing B1 standards;
(e) the addition of an example for a standard metric size that is listed in ACME B1.13M and
IS0 261;
cf, the addition of an example for a special inch size showing how to round numbers with an
infinite number of digits after the decimal point;
(g) added a new Appendix A with a table listing the number of decimal places for each of
the thread characteristics used in the examples in 81.30.
Suggestions for improvement of this Standard will be welcome. They should be sent to Secretary,
ACME 81 Standards Committee, Three Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016-5990 U.S.A.
This revision was approved as an American National Standard on July 12, 2002.

3.1.4 Metric screw threads are dimensioned in millimeters. The final values of pitch diameter, major diameter, minor diameter, allowance and thread element
tolerances are expressed to three decimal places.
3.1.5 Values containing multiple trailing zeros out
to the required number of decimal places can be
expressed by displaying only two of them beyond the
last significant digit.
3.2 Examples
The formulas in the examples for inch screw threads
in Tables 2,3,4 and 5 are based on those listed in ACME
81.1, Unified Inch Screw Threads. Tables 2 and 3 are
based on a size that when converted from a fraction to
a decimal will result in a number that has only four
decimal places. Tables 4 and 5 are based on a size that
when converted will result in a number with infinite
numbers of digits after the decimal point.
The formulas in the examples for metric screw threads
in Tables 6,7,8 and 9 are based on those listed in ACME
B1.13M, Metric Screw Threads. Tables 6 and 7 show the
use of the tabulated values for allowances and tolerances
(in accordance with IS0 965-1) for the calculation of size
limits for standard diameter/pitch combinations listed
in both IS0 261 and ACME B1.13M. The constant values
differ from those used for inch screw threads, in accordance with the policy of rounding of this Standard,
because metric limits of size are expressed to only three
decimal places rather than four.
