3.1 INTRODUCTION
Machines are assembled from individual parts. The parts may need to be joined sometimes in permanent or temporary connections. The temporary connections or joints are normally made by using screws bolts or nuts and bolts. The temporary joints render the convenience of disconnection as frequently as required for such purposes as inspection, repairs, adjustment or replacement. The most important feature of the screws or bolt is that they are standardized and are available as standard part ready to use. The threaded fasteners are used to hold two parts. The fastener consists of two parts. An externally threaded member whose length is normally greater than the diameter carries threads over entire or part length from end. The other end of this member is larger in area (you can assume that the end is upset). This part is inserted in coaxial holes in two parts taking care that the upset or larger end is greater in dimension than the holes so that it does not pass through the hole. The end that comes out of the holes carries thread upon which another internally threaded part is wound.

In this unit we will study the geometrical characteristics of threads, forms of threads and profiles, their standards and geometrical proportions, nuts and bolts, washer, stud and methods of drawing.
Objectives
After studying this unit you should be able to learn terminology of threads, standard thread profiles and other profiles, geometrical proportions of thread, how to draw thread, what is a bolt and a nut, what shapes the bolt head and nut have, how to draw the bolts and nuts, what are the types of bolt heads and nuts, and how are the bolted joints made and how are they drawn.
Flank The thread profile is made up of two straight sides called flank. The flanks of the same profile of V-thread join at the top surface called crest. The adjacent flanks on two thread profiles join at the root. Thread Angle This is the angle included between flanks of a thread profile. Pitch The axial distance measured between corresponding points on adjacent threads is known as pitch while the distance through which the screw advances axially in one rotation is called lead.
52
Diameters The diameter of an imaginary cylinder whose internal surface is tangential to the crest is called the major diameter (d). The diameter of an imaginary cylinder touching the roots of the thread is known as minor diameter. The diameter of the imaginary surface that passes between the crest and root and cuts the thread profile such that the width of the thread is equal to the width of the space, is called the mean diameter. Pitch Line and Thread Thickness The pitch line can be regarded as the generator of the pitch surface and the thickness of the thread measured along the pitch line is known as thread thickness.
The thread is characterized by angle of 60o between the flanks and pitch, denoted by p. The theoretical depth, H is related to p as H = 0.866025 p Certain practical changes are introduced in manufactured threads according to design profiles of threads. Figure 3.3 shows design profile for external and internal threads. The various diameters are denoted as under: External Threads Major diameter d Minor diameter d1 or d3 or dc Pitch diameter d2 or dm or dp Internal Threads Major diameter D Minor diameter D1 Pitch diameter D2 Other dimensions are shown in Figure 3.2 and 3.3. 53
Machine Drawing
Practical design form of thread avoids sharp corners. They are changed to flat tips and radiused grooves.
The BIS 1362 1962 designates threads by M followed by major (nominal) diameter. M 2.5 means a screw or bolt of major diameter of 2.5 mm. Tables 3.1 and 3.2 respectively describe dimensions of V-threads coarse and V-threads fine. While the coarse thread carries only one number (for major diameter) the fine thread is designated by two numbers for major diameter and pitch. Table 3.1

Yet other practice is to draw thread lines, thin lines to join the crest lines across and thick lines to join root lines. The external threads are represented in this way without sectioning the part but internal threads are thus shown only when sectioned. In the latter case the section hatching lines will extend to only the line of roots which will now be drawn thick, (see Figures 3.10 and 3.11).

Figure 3.14
A hexagon or even a cylinder will end in sharp edges which are chamfered. The hexagonal head is chamfered along 30o creating a circle inscribed inside the regular hexagon. The inscribed circle is tangential to all sides of the regular hexagon. The part of surface between the inscribed circle which is called chamfer circle is slightly complicated to draw on paper. We will develop an under standing to draw the details. From the top view if front view is to be developed we can easily see the correspondence between A and A , B and B, C and C and D and D . Note all the points A, B, C and D below the top surface because of chamfering. So in the front view we see the head between the corners with points A, B, C and D placed at same level but below the top surface. The points E and G are at top level but AE is inclined at 30o to horizontal, (30o is angle of chamfer). Note E will be visible as E in front view. E to G (if there is no hole) or EHG will appear as straight line which will coincide with EFG appearing as E F G. But points B and C will appear below the line of E F G. A B will be a curve and similarly B F C will be another curve. It is difficult to identify these curves but they are conveniently assumed as parts of circles. In the end view F will appear as F and E will appear as E both at top surface but A and B will project as A and B at lower level. This (end) view is the view between the flats of the head or nut. The curve between A and B is difficult to identify but is drawn as part of a circle. As is the practice with all engineering products, the nuts and bolts are also standardized. However, due to the frequency of replacement the nuts and bolts are marked with much

greater degree of standardization in terms of dimensions, materials, heat treatment and manufacturing. In the present context of drawing we are concerned only with the standard dimensions and others may be seen and understood at the proper stage. From the Figure 3.13 it appears that the diameter of the hole in the nut or diameter of the shank is equal to the side of the regular polygon or the width of the face. In that case the width of the nut will be 1.73d and distance across the corners will be 2d. But for convenience of drawing following proportions are adopted. The major bolt diameters Thickness of the nut Thickness of the bolt head, Width across flat surfaces Radius of the chamfer arc in elevation, R, d d 0.75d, Thickness of the nut d 1.5d + 3 mm 1.5d

Figure 3.16 illustrate drawing of views of bolt head (first angle projection in this case). The drawing is self illustrative. For distinction major diameter of thread on bolt is denoted by D A/F denotes distance between flat faces. The procedure involves locating points E and G from plan establishing radius R1.
Figure 3.16 : Procedure for Drawing Front View of Bolt Head. Stage I Shows the Construction and Stage II shows Completed Drawing
Then draw a circle of radius R1 and with center C1 and locate center C2. Then draw another circle with center C2 and radius and locate center C3. C3 is used as center with radius A/F to draw the arc in the center between the vertical lines representing corners in the front view. The centers C4 and C5 are located as intersections of two circles drawn earlier. Hence the view is completed. The side view is drawn in the same way as described in respect of Figure 3.15.
63
Machine Drawing
The procedure of drawing very much follows the steps already described and now illustrated in Figure 3.18. Two types of projections can be drawn depending upon placement of top view. The auxiliary view shown to the right of front view can become front view if the plan is rotated by 45o. The radius R can be seen, through geometrical construction, to be equal to the depth or major thread diameter. In the other view it is 2d.

(a) Two 8 mm thick plates are bolted by passing the 10 mm major diameter bolt through 11 mm diameter hole. The nut is tightened on top. Draw the dimensioned front view. Schematically show external and internal thread in engagement creating a joint. Bolts of hexagonal head and square head have shank lengths of 4D each and threaded over half the length. Draw front views along the length (length in full) and end views.
(b) (c) 64
3.14 WASHER
Washers are used between the nut and the flat surface of the part tightened by the bolt. Apparently the shank of the bolt must pass through the washer. For this reason washer is a thin ring (0.15 d thick) with an inner hole of diameter just 1 mm greater than the bolt diameter. The outer diameter is greater than the distance between the corners of the nut by 4 mm. The washer serves to distribute the force between the under side of the nut and the surface of the jointed parts uniformly and even some roughness or unevenness is tolerable in the presence of the washer. Figure 3.19(a) shows a washer and Figure 3.19(b) shows a washer and nut.
3.15 STUD
Stud is like a shank (bolt without head) threaded on both ends. It is used in a joint in which one member is very thick so that the bolt does not come out at the other end. The threads are made by tapping in the thicker part in which taps of increasing number of threads are run in drilled blind holes. The studs are also used in places where bolt head is obstructed before reaching the hole. The other end of the stud is tightened with a nut normally placed upon a washer. A stud and a studded joint are shown in Figure 3.20.

Draw a bolted joint in section (front view), between circumference of a cylinder and cover. Cylinder diameter = 400 mm. Number of bolts = 12. Pitch circle diameter of bolts = 480. M 20 bolt with d = 20 mm, p = 2.5 mm and d1 = 17.3 mm is to be used. The bolt is inserted from below and nut with washer is used from top.
3.19 SUMMARY
Threads of different types like V-square, acme and buttress threads have been described. Several standards of V-threads were introduced. ISO form of the thread is most acceptable, yet BSW, BA, American National and unified standard threads are in use. Threads are often shown on drawings in schematic ways. Schemes of representing Vthreads and square threads have been introduced with an idea to reduce confusion and difficulty in drawing. The bolts and nuts are threaded parts used to create bolted joints between parts of structure the shapes and dimensions of both are standardized. Studs are threaded cylindrical pieces which do not have heads and do not pass through the thickness. Two types of bolt heads commonly used are hexagon and square. Washers are used to distribute force between underside of nut and the surface in contact. For keeping nut is position the washer may help but look nut is often used. An eye bolt is like a fall hook with threaded cylindrical part on one side. It is used for lifting heavy machine parts.
