ASME B18.29.2M - Helical Coil Screw Thread Inserts: Free Running and Screw Locking (Metric Series) B18.29.2M - 2005

This standard is being maintained under Stabilized Maintenance. Stabilized maintenance is an option for maintenance of a standard that requires status review every 10 years rather than revision or reaffirmation every 5 years. The Standards Committee shall consider all requests and recommendations for change to standards maintained under the stabilized maintenance option from any materially affected and interested party. The request shall be made in writing and should include the rationale for the particular request in order to facilitate review by the Committee. This Standard delineates the dimensional, mechanical, and performance data for the metric series helical coil screw thread insert and threaded hole into which it is installed. Appendices that describe insert selection, STI (screw thread insert) taps, insert installation, and removal tooling are also included. The inclusion of dimensional data in this Standard is not intended to imply that all products described are stock sizes.
