IntroductionThe QM Sys Threads software is a powerful thread engineering program, especially useful in themanufacture and quality control of threaded products, tools and gauges by saving time and costs forsupplying standards and computations. The results are based on international and national standards, andcomprise information about nominal and limit sizes of thread parameters of threaded products, cutting tools,working, setting as well as checking gauges.QM Sys Threads software assists users in the following activities: Thread measurement and control – determining the nominal and limit sizes of the parameters ofexternal and internal threadsDesign and inspection of thread cutting tools – determining the limit sizes of the threaded portionInspection of working and check gauges – determining the nominal and limit sizes of parameters ofthread check gaugesProduct design – selection of threaded joints.Calibration management - calibration of all types of thread and plain gauges in accordance withnational and international standards and guides.Editions of the QM Sys Threads sThreads,Tools andGaugesThreads,Gauges andCalibrationManagementExternal and internal threadsYesYesYesYesGauges for internal and external threadsNoYesYesYesCutting and forming tapsNoNoYesYesTolerances and fits for linear sizesYesYesYesYesPlain gauges for linear sizesNoYesYesYesCalibration managementNoNoNoYesSoftware versionsThe software is offered in following versions which include the same functions: Single-User version - this version is computer based and can be installed on one single computer. Portable version – the single-user version can be installed on any current USB memory sticks. Inthis case, the software is licensed for a specific USB flash drive. The client can install the softwareon his/her own USB memory stick or order a USB memory stick from us with installed software. Theuser can then work with the QM Sys software on any computer the flash drive is plugged into. Server version - this version allows the simultaneous use of the software in the amount of theacquired number of licenses (concurrent users). The software is installed only on the server andevery user who wishes to use the software creates only a shortcut on their working computer to theserver software. Library versions - for integration in client software products. These versions are also available assingle-user, portable or server version.Software trial versionsThe QM Sys Threads software can be downloaded at http://www.qsyst.com/html/software en.htm.Request an evaluation unlock key by sending an email to qualysyst@qsyst.com and you will have the fullversion of all software editions for a 30-day evaluation period. You may also share the trial unlock key wewill send to you and the downloaded software with anyone in your organization.2

Calculation of threads with nominal sizes from 0.25 mm up to 1250 mm (0.1 - 50 in.) Calculation of tolerances and fits for linear sizes up to 10000 mm (ISO) or up to 200 in. (ANSI) Plain gauges according to ISO standards up to 500 mm, according to ASME standards up to 19.69in. and according to BS standards for workpiece tolerances 0.005 - 3.2 mm (0.0002 - 0.125 in.) The thread parameters can be chosen from the respective list or can be inserted directly; thisfacilitates and smoothens the work process, since it is not necessary to remember the designation ofeach thread type Recommended in the respective standards nominal sizes, pitches and tolerance classes After entering the thread parameters, all types of working, setting and checking gauges are beingcalculated; the user does not have to bother with repeated entry of the same data for differentgauges. Nominal and limit sizes on all thread and gauge characteristics - diameters, pitch, lead, flank angles,length of gauge and tolerance steps, crest and root flats, etc. Figures from the corresponding standard for thread profile, tolerance zone, gauge profile. Calculation of diameter corrections for all types of finishing: removing (reshaping) or adding(altering). Computation of limits for measuring of the pitch diameter with wires or balls, with consideration ofthe influence of a measuring force, material of the threaded workpiece and the resultingdeformations. Printing out in standard or custom adjustable templates in RTF, XLS or TXT format Coping of the results in the clipboard User-friendly interface, evidently easier design for usage and result interpretation. Possibility for development of customer thread types (after providing the respective standards).Calibration management for thread and plain gaugesCalibration process of the thread and plain gauges is developed in accordance with international and nationalstandards and guidelines: ISO, ANSI/ASME, DIN and BS standards for the respective thread types DAkkS-DKD-R 4-3 Testing instructions, Parts 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 VDI/VDE/DGQ 2618 Testing instructions, Parts 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 MIL-STD-I20 Gauge Inspection IFI 301 Gage Calibration Requirements and Procedures for Thread Gages EURAMET cg-6 - Extent of calibration for cylindrical diameter standards EURAMET cg-10 - Determination of pitch diameter of parallel thread gauges by mechanical probing ILAC-G8:03 - Guidelines on the reporting of compliance with specification ISO 14253-1 - Decision rules for proving conformance or non-conformance with specifications ASME B89.7.3.1 - Guidelines for decision rules: Considering measurement uncertainty determiningconformance to specifications.Before calibrating the gauges, the user should create calibration procedures for the respective types ofgauges and fill in the catalogues for measuring instruments, wire and ball probe sets.The calibration procedures include all relevant metrological characteristics - gauge length, lengths oftolerance steps, thread and flank angles, pitch and lead, major diameter, pitch diameter, minor diameter,taper, form deviations.The software also offers several methods for measurement of the pitch diameter over wires and balls - threeor two wires, ball probes, perpendicular or inclined. During the measurement, the software calculates thelimits of indicated values for the selected method, diameter of the wires or balls and measuring force.Measurements can be entered manually by the keyboard or transferred automatically from any measuringinstrument or machine, equipped with serial RS 232 or USB interface.Inspection and adjustment of working gauges with the respective checking, setting or master gauges is alsoimplemented in the design of calibration procedures and the calibration process.3
