SPECIFICATIONS AND STANDARDSSpecifications and standards for aircraft hardware are generally identified by
the organization or iginating them.
Some of the common are: AMS Aeronaut ical Material Specif ications AN Air Force-Navy AND Air Force-Navy Design AS Aeronaut ical Standard ASA American Standards Assoc iat ion ASTM American Society for Testing and Mater ial sMS Military StandardNAF Naval Aircraft FactoryNAS National Aerospace StandardSAE Society of Automotive Engineers

THREADED FASTENERS
Allow parts to be fastened together Unlike rivet its may be disassembled &
reassembled an almost infinite numbers of times. Include threaded hardware such as bolts, screw
and various type of nuts that secure them.

SCREW THREADS A male (external) screw thread is formed by cutting a helical
groove into the surface of a round bar, whilst a female(internal) thread is a helical groove cut in cylindrical hole.

SCREW THREADS condSCREW THREADS TERMINOLOGYThe principal terms used concerning screw threads are as follow:
1. Pitch : The distance from a point on one thread to the correspondingpoint on the next thread.
2. Crest : The prominent point of a thread. The crest diameter is thediameter of the outer circumference of the thread.
3. Root : The bottom of the thread groove.
7/27/2019 Aircraft Fastener Notes

Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technology
SCREW THREADS cond4. Flank : The straight edge which joins the crest and roots.5. Thread Angle : The angle between the flank. This varies for
different type of screw system.e.g. 55 deg. for BSW (British Standard Whitworth)
and BSF (British Standard Fine) , 47 deg. for BA(British Association). 60 deg.for UNC (American
Standard Unified Coarse , UNF (AmericanStandard Unified Fine) and metric thread.

6. Minor diameter The smallest diameter of the thread measured in aplane normal to the axis.
7. Major diameter - The largest diameter of the thread measured in aplane normal to the axis.
8. Effective (pitch) diameter Standard value for a given thread sizeand is appox. Halfway between major and minor
diameter.9. Lead The distance traveled for one revolution of the screw thread.
Lead equals pitch for a single start thread. For multi-startthread lead = pitch x number of start.

THREAD TYPE Aircraft bolts, screws and nuts are threaded in either coarse thread or
fine thread. Coarse thread when there are a few thread per inch and has strong
threads but a weak core diameter. Fine thread when there are more thread per inch and has weak threadsbut a strong core diameter. Example; American National series (NF,NC) has more threads per inch
compare to the American Standard Unified Series (UNF,UNC)

THREAD FORMS
The four common types of thread form are the Vee, Square, Acme, and theButtress.
1. The Vee Thread gives the greatest strength for common usage, such asbolts, and is easily produced by taps and dies2. The square thread stands up well to constant wear and heavy loads ,suchas met with screw jacks. This type of thread is readily cut on a lathe.3. The Acme Thread is for use on the lead screws of lathes to facilitate the opening and closing of a split nut4. The Buttress Thread is used where the thrust is required in one direction only, as withthe bench vice screw.

Normally threads are designated by class of fit.
1. Class 1 thread is a loose fit, allow you to turn the nutall the way down using only fingers. Example wing nut
2. Class 2 is a free fit3. Class 3 is a medium fit where screws are typically a
class 2 or 3 fit. Most common aircraft bolts are usuallyfine threaded with a class 3 fit
4. Class 4 is a close fit
5. Class 5 is a tight fit where requires a wrench to turn anut down from start to finish

DESIGNATION CODES
Like rivets, threaded fastener are given a part codeindicating a fastener diameter in 1/16 inch increment and itslength in 1/8 inch increment.
Example AN4-7 identifies a bolt that measures 4/16 or inch in diameter and 7/8 inch in length
AN4-7
For bolt longer than 7/8 inch, the code changes. E.g 1 inchbolt is identified by a -10 representing 1 inch and nofraction. There are no -8 or -9. Dash numbers go from -7to -10, from -17 to -20 and from -27 to -30.

1. Standard Stud
This is a plain or parallel type.
The diameter of the unthreaded portion is the same as the majordiameter of the screw thread at both end
with the threads merging smoothly into the plain part.

2. Waisted Stud
This is a weight-saving stud.
The plain shank of the stud is reduced to the minor diameter of the
screw thread.
This will lightening the stud without losing any of its strength.

3. Stepped Stud
The purpose of this stud is two fold.
First its larger diameter end provides a stronger anchorage
particularly useful when the stud is located in soft metal.
Second, it is used as a replacement stud and fitted in a stud housingthat, because of damage, has been re-drilled and tapped with a largerdiameter thread.

4. Shouldered Stud
The projecting shoulder of thisstud gives extra support andresistance to any sidepressure.
How to ins tall Studs
Studs may be inserted by using a stud box and aspanner,
or by fitting locknuts to the stud and using aspanner on the upper nut.

Wire LockingSafetying of Nuts, Bolts, and Screws
It is very important that all bolts or nuts, except the self-locking type, be safetied after installation. This prevents
them from loosening in flight because of vibration.
Safety wiring is the most positive and satisfactory method ofsafetying cap screws, studs, nuts, bolt heads, and turnbucklebarrels that cannot be safetied by any other practicalmeans. It is a method of wiring together two or more unitsin such a manner that any tendency of one to loosen iscounteracted by the tightening of the wire

Safety Wire or wirelock
Safety wire is available in a variety of gauges and materials,depending on the application. In aircraft applications,stainless steel wire is used, most commonly in 0.032 in(0.81 mm) diameter.It must be installed in the locking direction of the bolt.Generally the amount of twist is around 6-8 twist per inch, butit will depend on the size of the wire.
