Hello all

I'm confused, true position has nothing to do with thread pitch?
But to confirm the pitch of a threaded feature you can do it many ways, with varying degrees of accuracy.
I would recommend a thread plug gage.
A pitch gage set (cheap and easy)
Make a mold of the part and check it with an optical system and measure it...

Plug or ring gauges would be my recommendation as well. The only way I could picture manipulating a TP of a threaded feature would involve a MMC condition and changing the nominal without reporting the result to force bonus tolerance that doesn't exist. I don't think that's even possible with Getol now though.
Thank you.
For any given thread, the pitch and direction should be unique. If wrong number or direction was given in the program, the result could be shifted away from real TP...
I am curious about MMC condition with NUTs, Does any drawing applied with this? The thread nut is totally different from hole, how can MMC condition work ?
The MMC bonus needs to be calculated from the effective diameter of the thread, which it is almost always impossible to measure on a CMM. The only exception to this would be if there is a note on the drawing saying to use the minor diameter, but then, you would need to ensure your probe contacted on the crests of the tread.
You can also not rely on the measured diameter when applying a pitch to an auto-feature, unless you have done some addition work beforehand to ensure your probe is always contacting on the crest of the thread for each hit. Even then, you would only be measuring the minor diameter.
Thank you. I agreed with a PE on no MMC condition with Nuts last year.
Neil Challinor Based on those conditions, should I use sleeve to help measure nut TP for accurate result?
Applying a pitch to the auto-feature should give reliable measurements for position, it's just the size that you cannot really rely on.
Got it. Thank you
I suppose measuring threads with the wrong pitch would create an axial error for the location, which would effect the TP results
