The original trapezoidal thread form, and still probably the one most commonly encountered worldwide, with a 29° thread angle, is the Acme thread form (/ ˈ æ k m iː / AK-mee). The Acme thread was developed in 1894 as a profile well suited to power screws that has various advantages over the square thread , [ note 1 ] which had been the form ...

Three different sets of threading gauges. The uppermost gauge is an ISO metric pitch gauge, the larger gauge in the center is for measuring the Acme thread form, and the lower gauge is for Whitworth screws. A thread gauge, [1] also known as a screw gauge [2] or pitch gauge, [3] is used to measure the pitch or lead of a screw thread.

The thread angle also has an effect on the strength of the threads; threads with a large angle have a wide root compared with their size and are stronger. Standard types of screw threads: (a) V, (b) American National, (c) British Standard, (d) Square, (e) Acme, (f) Buttress, (g) Knuckle
In oil field tubing, buttress thread is a pipe thread form designed to provide a tight hydraulic seal. The thread form is similar to that of Acme thread [10] but there are two distinct threaded portions of differing diameters and profiles, the larger having a wedging profile, with a tapered sealing portion in between the larger and smaller diameters.
Acme threads have a 29° thread angle, which is easier to machine than square threads. They are not as efficient as square threads, due to the increased friction induced by the thread angle. [3] Acme threads are generally also stronger than square threads due to their trapezoidal thread profile, which provides greater load-bearing capabilities.
