Thread Classifications - External or internal threads - Class 1 or Class 4 - Pitch?

[Connie]

Hey everyone!!!

A new problem. Is there a web site or a book that will easily explain the differences in thread classification.
Example external or internal threads that are classified with a class 1 or class 4.

Does this have to do with the tolerance or the pitch?



second thought I think this classifacation is for pin gages?
Am I right on this???

I use the Machinery's Handbook almost exclusively for thread classifications. ASME also has some books available.

Pin gages use an "X, Y, Z" format for classification, I believe.
