Actual Fit

Actual Fit Per ASME B1.7-2006 Definitions [ back to main page ]

Actual Fit: The measured difference, subject to measurement uncertainty, before assembly, between the sizes of two mating parts that are to be assembled.

Additional Discussion by Travis R. Wahl
Actual fit is an important attribute to consider for screw thread design since its determining factors directly affect strength, ease of assembly or disassembly, and the likelihood for galling or seizure to occur between both mating components. The Actual Fit is the absolute size difference between two mating parts in an assembly containing threaded components. The Actual Fit is dependent on the screw thread class of fit, surface finish, material variability, and geometric attributes of the thread itself (the type of screw thread profile used, pitch diameters, threads per inch, and so on). The measurement of the actual fit between two threaded components is accomplished by taking the perpendicular distance between the internal and external screw thread flanking surfaces, as shown in the below graphic:
