This Standard will be revised when the Society approves the issuance of a new edition.
There will be no addenda or written interpretations of the requirements of this Standard
issued to this Edition. ·

This code or standard was developed under procedures accredited as meeting the criteria for
American National Standards. The Consensus Committee that approved the code or standard was
balanced to assure that individuals from competent and concerned interests have had an oppor·
tunity to participate. The proposed code or standard was made available for public review and
comment which provides an opportunity for additional public input from industry, academia, reg-
ulatory agencies, and the public-at-large.

FOREWORD

(This Foreword is not part of ANSI/ ASME B1.16M-1984.)

The first issue of ANSI B 1.16 was approved and formally designated as an American
National Standard on April 28, 1972. It was developed by Subcommittee 2 of the B I
Committee to serve as the American practice regarding the specifications and dimensions
for gages applied to metric screw threads. As in the first issue, this Edition of ANSI
B 1.16M follows the American practice for the design and tolerances for gages of this type,
except for the truncations of the HI/ LO elements, which are more in line with the
truncations specified in ISO 1502.
This new publication, designated ANSI/ ASME B 1.16M-I984, has had considerable
new material added to cover the many options of gages and measuring equipment shown
in ANSI B !.3M, Screw Thread Gaging Systems for Dimensional Acceptability. It has also
retained HI and LO functional gages but has eliminated gages with pitch diameter outside
product thread limits. It also includes tabulated values for the specifications of gage
elements for the standard series of metric M screw thread sizes listed in ANSI BI.I3M,
Metric Screw Threads - M Profile.
ANSI/ ASME B 1.16M was approved by the ASME Standards Committee B I on
April 27, 1984. The proposed Standard was submitted by the ASME Board of Stan-
dardization to the American National Standards Institute. It was approved and formally
designated an American National Standard on May 25, 1984.

NOTES:
(1) Nllowable variation in lead between any two threads shall not be farther apart than the lengths of the standard gages that are
shown in ANSI/ASME B47.1aM.
(2) Above M300, the tolerance is directly proportional to the tolerance in col. 9, in the ratio of the diameter to 300 mm.
(3) See 5.13.9.
(4) T?lerances apply to designated size of thread. Apply tolerances in accordance with Table 4.

(2) Used as tolerance on plain cylindrical plug and ring gages to check minor diameter for internal
threads and outside diameter for external threads. Also used for masters for setting indicating
thread gages where design permits.

(9) Pitch diameter size may be set by direct measurement over wires on 180deg. segments, with specially designed transfer standards
or by Z tolerance plain ring gages when rolls are qualified for setting from their outside diameters.

~ NOTES:
(1) Allowable variation in lead between any two threads shaH not be farther apart than the length of the standard gage that is shown in
ANSI/ASME B47.1aM.
{2) Above M300, the tolerance is directly proportional to the tolerance in col. 12, in the ratio of the diameter to 300 mm.
(3) See 5.13. 9.
(4) Toleranres apply to designated size of thread. >\pply tolerance in accordance with Table 5.

NOTES:
{1) Tolerances apply to actual diameter of plug or ring. Apply tolerances in accordance with Table 4.
Symbols XX, X, Y, Z, and ZZ are standard gage tolerance classes.
{2) Used as tolerance on plain cylindrical plug and ring gages to check minor diameter for internal
threads and outside diameter for external threads. Also used for masters for setting indicati)lg
thread gages where design permits.
