Why Three wire method is used ?
The accurate measurement of thread pitch diameter, which may be perfect as to form and lead, presents certain difficulties which result in some uncertainty as to its true value. The adoption of a standard uniform practice in making such measurements is, therefore, desirable in order to reduce such uncertainty of measurement to a minimum. The “three – wire method” of measuring thread pitch diameter, has been found to be the most generally satisfactory method when properly carried out, and is recommended for universal use in the direct measurement of thread plug and thread setting plug gauges.
How to Calculate Diameter of measuring wires ACME threads?
Diameter of measuring wires ACME threads calculator uses Wire Diameter = (Micrometer Reading-Pitch Diameter+1.933357*Screw Pitch)/4.9939 to calculate the Wire Diameter, Diameter of Measuring Wires ACME Threads formula is defined as a specific value used in the three-wire method for measuring the pitch diameter of ACME threads. Wire Diameter is denoted by G symbol.
