20 Screw Threads
Methods of specifying and dimensioning screw
threads are covered in ASME Y14.6.

2.5 SINGLE LIMITS

MIN or MAX is placed after a dimension where other
elements of the design definitely determine the other
unspecified limit. Features, such as depths of holes,
lengths of threads, corner radii, chamfers, etc., may be
limited in this way. Single limits are used where the
intent will be clear, and the unspecified limit can be zero
or approach infinity and will not result in a condition
detrimental to the design.

2.9 SCREW THREADS

Each tolerance of orientation or position and datum
reference specified for a screw thread applies to the axis
of the thread derived from the pitch cylinder. Where an
exception to this practice is necessary, the specific feature
of the screw thread (such as MAJOR DIA or MINOR
DIA) shall be stated beneath the feature control frame,
or beneath or adjacent to the datum feature symbol, as
applicable. See Fig. 7-35.

Counterbored Holes
7.4.2 Counterbored Holes
Where positional tolerances are used to locate coaxial
features, such as counterbored holes, the following practices
apply:
(a) Where the same positional tolerance is used to
locate both holes and counterbores, a single feature control
frame is placed under the notes specifying hole and
counterbore requirements. See Fig. 7-24. Identical diameter
tolerance zones for hole and counterbore are coaxially
located (constrained in translation and rotation) at
true position relative to the specified datums.
(b) Where different positional tolerances are used
to locate holes and counterbores (relative to common
datum features), two feature control frames are used.
One feature control frame is placed under the note
specifying hole requirements and the other under the
note specifying counterbore requirements. See Fig. 7-25.
Different diameter tolerance zones for hole and counterbore
are coaxially located at true position relative to the
specified datums.
(c) Where positional tolerances are used to locate
holes and to control individual counterbore-to-hole
relationships (relative to different datum features),
two feature control frames are used as in subpara.
(b) above. In addition, a note is placed under the datum
feature symbol for the hole and under the feature
control frame for the counterbore, indicating the
number of places each applies on an individual basis.
See Fig. 7-26.
